🚜 Farmers are hard at work this planting season, and that means more slow-moving equipment on our roads.

Please be patient, avoid risky passing, and give farm machinery extra space. These large pieces of equipment are heavy, wide, and can’t move as quickly as regular traffic.

A little patience goes a long way in keeping everyone safe. 🌱

Tomorrow is the day!

Officers will be up on the roof at Dunkin’- not for us, but for something much bigger than ourselves. We’ll be there soaking in the sweet essence of the donuts, but more importantly, raising awareness and support for the incredible athletes of the Special Olympics.

These athletes are the heart of this event. Their dedication, discipline, and perseverance are nothing short of inspiring. They put in countless hours of training, pushing past limits, and showing what true determination looks like. They are, without question, the GOATs in every sense of the word.

This event is about celebrating them, supporting their goals, and helping make sure they continue to have opportunities to compete and succeed.

Stop by and see us at Dunkin’
📍 515 S. Neil St
🕔 5:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📅 May 15th

Come out, show your support, and help us celebrate these truly remarkable athletes.
