I would like to recognize Tim McCratic, Lisa McCratic, Kevin McArthur, John Kriemer, Carolyn Jones and Wimer Jones who are Cherokee County CERT Members. Kenny Robinson and William Logan who are Explorers from Cherokee County Explorer Post #469 and Lt. Brandon Carr, Miguel Castro, Kevin Fox and Ryan Hixon for their support of the event.”
