Beautiful morning for Augusta’s Veterans Day Parade honoring and giving thanks to all who have served our nation with courage and dedication.

CSRA, today is the day! The start of the 10 best days of October! See you there!

Great weather, great food, and great entertainment at Augusta’s Fall Greek Festival! There’s still one more day to enjoy all the fun — check it out tomorrow from 11 AM to 6 PM at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church (953 Telfair St).

Yesterday, we gathered at Heroes’ Overlook to honor the 7 Richmond County residents lost in Hurricane Helene. One year later, their memories live on, and Augusta stands strong—united in remembrance, resilience & gratitude.

It was an honor to help kick off TechNet Augusta 2025 this morning! Thank you to @AFCEA, @ArmyCyberCoE, and who make this event possible. Your work doesn’t just protect our country—it strengthens communities like ours and creates opportunities for the future.

A lot of great things on the horizon for Augusta with more to come! georgiatrend.com/2025/07/28/aug…

One time for our amazing mayor @MayorJohnson85

Another day, another RCCI crew on Tobacco Road, helping us continue to power through Hurricane Helene recovery and cleanup! 💪 If you see them out working, be sure to slow down and say thank you!

I’m grateful for the efforts of the RCCI debris collection crew. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment are truly making a difference. When you see them on the roadways, please slow down for safety and give a honk and a thank you!

Ending the week on a positive note: While we've seen an uptick in violence, I’ve always said Augusta is a safe place to live—and I stand by that. Every city faces challenges, but Augusta has a lower crime rate than other cities of the same size. I’m optimistic about our future.

Stay safe this winter by practicing proper fireplace safety. Always use a metal or heat-resistant screen around your fireplace to prevent sparks and embers from escaping. Remember, winter fires can be dangerous—take precautions to protect your home and loved ones. #WinterReady
