🌈✨ They say you can’t find the end of the rainbow—but we did.

Captured from the brow of Lookout Mountain, this breathtaking view shows the rainbow landing right here in Dade County, Georgia. Nature never fails to remind us just how special this corner of the world is.

Come see where the beauty meets the horizon. 💙

We've been made aware that subjects are traveling around Dade County presenting themselves as "Animal Control" and soliciting donations for our new county shelter.

We have spoken to the ones involved with the new Animal Control Facility and its establishment, and they have confirmed they are not soliciting donations or threatening to seize people's animals in lieu of fines.

If you encounter any of these individuals, please contact law enforcement immediately. Please attempt to get any photos of the subjects, and their vehicles, to provide law enforcement.

Last week was quite a week, filled with good news and bad. See photos from the 1945 Fair, hear the story of our local actress, and catch up on the body found in New Home, tragedy at the train tracks, the puppy mill bust, why G'z Dawg House left Dade, and commission debate about animal control. Our hearts especially go out to all who knew Tucker Campbell.
