“We are lucky enough to have a partner like Sysco food service that allowed us the opportunity to share our brand with ‘Atlanta Eats’,” Sonny Crumpton said. “The whole experience from start to finish was professional and exciting. It really showed off our amazing fresh food and culture that the great city of Woodstock has come to know, Above, Sonny Crumpton, Greg Gonzalez, Nick Shelton and Carson Hatch are ready for the camera.

Generous Donation Makes Life a Little Easier

The Woodstock Business Club and Reformation Woodstock recently made a donation to Limitless Disabilities, to buy a chair lift. Members of the business club and clients of Limitless Disabilities gathered to celebrate the occasion.

Two citizens who jumped into action to rescue someone from a burning home were awarded the Fire Chief’s Civilian Valor Award by Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services.

Fire Chief Tim Prather presented the award to Randall Thomas and Tristan Bush, employees of Cycle Works Sanitation. Bush and Thomas, along with coworker Mark Ogle, received a standing ovation at the presentation, made during a county commission meeting.

According to reports, Bush and Ogle were collecting waste on Hollow Drive near Woodstock when Bush heard a woman shouting that her house was on fire. Ogle, who was driving the waste collection vehicle, called 911, while Bush and Thomas entered the splitlevel house to help two residents. They asked the female resident, who had gone back inside, to get out of the house. Bush and Thomas located the wheelchair-bound male resident and carried him out of the house.

Assistant Fire Chief Eddie Robinson said that the two men did something that firefighters do routinely. “The difference is, firefighters are highly trained, and they’re equipped to handle these types of hazardous situations. However, these men are not,” Robinson said.
