We’re aware of recent videos and photos showing bear activity within the city limits. While it can be surprising to see wildlife in town, it’s important to remember:

We encourage residents to follow guidance from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which outlines what to do if you see a bear and how to avoid attracting them to your property.

As part of our monthly Second Saturday downtown, local retailers rallied to support Decatur County School students by collecting much-needed school supplies. Thanks to everyone who donated — your generosity makes a difference!

This morning, we were proud to deliver those supplies to the district office. A huge shoutout to The Recovery Room Acai Bar, Rivers and Bridge, and Marine Carpeting for hosting donation drives and contributing to the cause.
