Today is Veterans Day and is a national and state holiday. The Cannon County Courthouse was scheduled to be closed for the holiday. However, the current plan indicates that the Courthouse may not re-open until Monday, November 16th (if then).
Due to the recent outbreak on COVID-19 cases in Cannon County, safety concerns of our aged veterans, and concern for those attending, the Woodbury American Legion Post 279 is postponing our Veterans Activities on November 14th and hoping to re-schedule until March 29, 2021. Decision was made after looking at the high number of new classes, Veterans calling in about their feeling about coming at this time, and expected level of participation.
The local American Legion Post wishes to thank all who were planning on coming and supporting the event, but the safety over rides the spirit of the program.
The Water Department for the Town of Woodbury will only be operating with their drive-thru window until further notice.
WBRY hopes you will follow the CDC guidelines and help reduce the number of cases in our area.
