Community unites for Halloween safety amid rising concerns

This past Saturday, Mocksville celebrated National Night Out, an event organized by Mike Botero from the sheriff's office, which saw participation from numerous county agencies, including emergency services and domestic violence support teams. The event aimed to foster community engagement and safety awareness.

A key highlight was the distribution of a Halloween safety flyer designed to educate parents and children about the potential dangers of THC and CBD-infused treats. This initiative reflects a proactive approach to safeguarding children during the Halloween season, with officials encouraging community members to share the flyer widely.

Additionally, the senior center hosted two significant events recently: the Miss Davie County Senior Pageant, where Lynn Bogler was crowned, and the center's 40th anniversary celebration. Despite a rescheduling due to inclement weather, the anniversary event was well-received, with seniors expressing heartfelt sentiments about the center's impact on their lives.

In closing remarks, a speaker emphasized the importance of humility and generosity in public service, reflecting on recent acts of kindness within the community. The sentiment resonated with attendees, reinforcing the notion that compassion should guide government representatives in their duties.
