Last week, Twin City Used Cars and Cattle Stampede hosted a two-day holiday meal drive-thru giveaway.
With many families affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, especially during the holiday season, Twin City Used Cars owner Bobby Ledbetter and Cattle Stampede owner Miles Smith joined forces this holiday season handing out 2,000 meal bags to citizens of DeKalb County.
âDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, Iâve been going into every community handing out food to ease the load off somebody,â Ledbetter said. âItâs Christmas and families have enough to worry about.â
A multitude of vehicles filled the Northeast Alabama Agri-business Center in Rainsville last Monday afternoon to receive a meal sack.
Illegal winery found in waste water treatment plant 21st December, 2020 by Phoebe French
An illegal wine production operation disguised in a waste water treatment plant has been discovered in Rainsville in northeast Alabama.
As reported by News 19, officers from DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office discovered the winery after an anonymous tip-off last week.
Rainsville Mayor Roger Lingerfelt gave the authorities access to the plant, where they found large quantities of illegal alcohol as well as a winery that “appeared to be in operation for a long period of time”.
DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden said it was one of the biggest illicit operations uncovered in the county “and possibly our state”.
