Patty Baker, Clerk of Courts Cherokee County Georgia

It’s that time of year when ghosts and goblins roam! Here are some quick tips to make your Halloween safe, fun, and a little extra magical! 🦇

🕯️ Light It Up: Trick-or-treaters, carry flashlights or use glow sticks to stay visible. Homeowners, set the mood with LED candles or string lights to keep pathways well-lit.

👻 Choose Comfy Costumes: Pick costumes that allow for easy movement, and avoid anything too long to prevent trips. Don’t forget to layer up if it's chilly out!

🍬 Candy Check: For parents, a quick look at treats can help keep the night sweet. When in doubt, toss it out!

🧛 Safe Makeup Over Masks: Opt for non-toxic face paint instead of masks to keep your vision clear.

🚸 Plan the Route: Map out your trick-or-treat stops and choose well-lit neighborhoods.

🎶 Set the Mood: Whether you’re hosting a Halloween bash or just setting up your candy station, a spooky playlist always adds that extra boo!

👻 Stay Warm & Hydrated: Trick-or-treating can be a lot of walking! Keep water on hand and dress warmly if needed.

Have a fang-tastic Halloween! 🕷️🎃

Thank you Enjoy Cherokee for sharing this information!

Over the past couple weeks, our office has been actively gathering essential supplies for those affected by Hurricane Helene. Witnessing the resilience and unity of our community has been truly inspiring. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team, volunteers, and generous donors who made this possible. 💙

Often people aren’t aware of the different exit numbers of I-575. Here is an illustration that breaks it down clearly.

Most people probably know this but for those that don’t, the exit number represents the approximate distance, in miles, from the exit to the intersection of I-575 and I-75 in Cobb County. Hope you find this information useful.

We are so excited to have partnered up with the Cherokee County Tax Commissioners office to accept donations.

Hurricane Helene has devastated many communities, leaving many families in urgent need of support. We are collecting donations to provide essential supplies to those impacted.

Every little bit helps! Please consider donating or sharing this post to spread the word. Together, we can bring hope to those who need it most.

Thank you for your kindness! ❤️
