PUBLIC NOTICE: Streight’s Raid Civil War Reenactment – Cedar Bluff

Cherokee County Emergency Management would like to make the public aware of increased activity in the Cedar Bluff area this weekend due to the Streight’s Raid Civil War Reenactment taking place at 135 AL Highway 35, Cedar Bluff, AL.

Residents and visitors can expect increased traffic along AL Highway 35, particularly during peak event hours. Delays may occur when entering and exiting the event area. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, use caution, and follow all directions from traffic control personnel.

Additionally, loud noises including cannon and musket fire will occur as part of the scheduled reenactment activities. These sounds may be heard throughout the surrounding area and are part of the historical experience.

There is no cause for alarm; however, residents—especially those with pets or sensitivities to loud noise—should take appropriate precautions.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we support this community event.

Her experience, leadership, and commitment make a difference every single day. From supporting our team to ensuring operations run smoothly, Shelly is a vital part of the Cherokee County Communications District.

Thank you, Shelly, for your years of service, your leadership, and the impact you continue to make for our community.
