Hundreds of bikers rumbled through Polk County on Saturday, Nov. 24 for the annual toy run for children. This year the area raised $8,005 and 55 bags of toys compared to $7,650 and 42 bags of toys in 2011. The money and gifts are distributed to the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, the Polk County Department of Social Services, Steps to HOPE and the Polk County Sheriff's Office for distribution.

White Oak development water line paid off by Leah Justice
After purchasing White Oak Development earlier this year, Overmountain Trace Holdings LLC paid Polk County the remaining $115,752.50 for a water line to the property.
The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Nov. 19 and heard from county manager Ryan Whitson that the remaining balance was paid in full. Whitson said the check was received from a different LLC than the company
that owed the county. “I’m very happy we received that payment in full,” Whitson told commissioners. (Continued on page 4)
