Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and serves as an important moment to reflect on our nation’s history.

As we observe this day, we honor the significance of freedom, remember those who came before us, and continue striving toward a stronger future for all.

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when news of emancipation reached enslaved people in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

The end of slavery is a chapter of American history that many people of all backgrounds and races view as a positive and necessary step toward a more just society. Juneteenth serves as a reminder of that history and the progress that followed.

Increased Risk of Wildfire Due to Elevated Fire Danger -- Thursday, June 18, 2026

The National Weather Service has issued fire danger statements for central and eastern North Carolina. What does increased fire danger mean for you today?

🎯 Fires can start from the smallest spark.
🎯 Dry conditions and wind increase fire spread.
🎯 Everyday activities carry more risk right now.

Avoid burning, and be cautious with anything that could cause a spark. Properly dispose of smoking materials such as ci******es. Be extremely careful with machinery and farm equipment when working outdoors.

🚰 **Water Department Notice** 🚰

The Town's Water Department will be conducting routine water line flushing on **Granite Drive** through approximately **3:00 PM today**.

Residents in the area may experience temporary water discoloration. This is normal during flushing operations and is caused by sediment being stirred up in the water lines. If your water appears discolored, simply run your cold water for a few minutes, and it should clear up.
