FIRE DANGER has been HIGH lately. Even if you have a seasonal burning permit, and there is a light rain, it is best to check in with a Warner Fire Warden before you plan to burn, at this time. There have been a few unintentional brush fires in the area recently. Keep an eye on the sign at the FIre Station or Warner Rescue Facebook page for status.
Condolences to the family of Neale and Janet Carlson, long time former Warner residents, who passed away last week in Florida.
Quilt Raffle to support the food pantry.
Drawing will be held Monday December 14, 2020 and announced on the Kearsargechamber.org website and FB.
