Bladen County Commissioners are putting in overtime as they prepare for the upcoming budget season. And, for 3 of the 9 members, it is their first budget, the meetings must be helpful, but confusing. County government is like an octopus, reaching into so many different type agencies. So much to think about and 35,000 residents looking over their shoulder, just want to get it right. Actually, there are 4 new members, but one, David Gooden, served previously.
Dixie Youth baseball is still several months in the future, but plans for the 2017 season are underway. Elizabethtown supporters recently held their annual fundraiser, now the 2017 NC DYB workshop is set for Saturday, February 18, at the Whiteville Rec Center beginning at 10 a.m. The Umpire Clinic will be held Thursday, March 16, more on that later. Questions??? Call Frankie Burney at 910-874-4488.
