Multiply that by the number of towns just in the northeast, let alone the U.S., and you’re talking millions, upon millions of dollars of taxpayers money to protect people from themselves. Continue reading

The Town of Inlet would like to say Thank You to all those who made the 10th Annual Frozen Fire & Lights a great success!
At Fern Park, donuts were enjoyed around the fire tended by “Inlet’s Newest Fulltime Resident – Forever!”
The sledding hill was a very popular spot, and the ski trails were enjoyed by many.
