Scouts work on Conservation Badge

Cub Scout Pack 731 met with the Village's Landscape Designer and Stormwater Administrator at Greendale Way Park to plant trees and pick up litter along the stream on Saturday, May 2nd as part of their conservation badge. Here are some pictures from the event.

Clemmons Semi-Annual Clean Up

The Stormwater Program held its semi-annual CLEMMONS CLEAN UP on April 24th. A total of 67 volunteers picked up 56 bags of litter. Great job!!!!! In appreciation for their hard work, volunteers were given T-shirts and trees. Thank you to everyone who participated. Here's a couple snap shots of these amazing volunteers!

Please Do Not Litter . . .

Whether deliberate or unintentional, littering is against the law. Littering is costly . . . to clean up, to economic development, to community appearance, and to you, if you get a ticket. Stop littering. Think before you throw that cigarette butt out the window or that candy wrapper on the ground. If you miss the trash can, take the time and pick up your trash. Keep our community clean and free of litter. Thank you.

Floodplain maps may be viewed online at www.ncfloodmaps.com and at the Clemmons Village Hall, 3715 Clemmons Road.

Roundabout 101

Traffic in roundabouts move in a counterclockwise direction. Slow down as you approach the roundabout. Stop only to yield to vehicles already in the circle. Wait for a gap and merge into the moving traffic. If you miss your turn, just go around again.

Weather Advisories

Forsyth County does not have a siren warning system for dangerous weather. In addition to weather advisories that are broadcast on local TV and radio stations, residents are urged to buy NOAA Weather Radios that can alert you throughout the day and night. NOAA Weather Radios can be purchased at local electronic stores and vary in price.

If you prefer, the National Weather Service (NWS) Mobile warning Alert Messaging Application (MAMA) will automatically send weather alerts to your mobile phone for the area you select based on a zipcode. By texting your zipcode to 56149, you will receive a text message anytime the NWS issues a weather warning for that area. Weather alerts include warnings for: severe weather, winter weather, marine, costal and tropical weather, hydrological events, fire-related weather conditions, and non-precipitation weather events. The user must have a mobile phone and a cellular service contract with a participating carrier that includes text messaging. All costs for sending and receiving text messages from the NWS MAMA service will be assessed according to the user's cellular service contract for sending and receiving text messages. Due to the nature of weather events and the responsibility of the NWS to generate weather warning alerts, it is difficult to predict exactly how many alert messages may be generated for any given month or location. Because of this, having an unlimited text messaging service for your cell phone is optimal for using NWS MAMA. The NWS realizes that this is not practical for all users and that standard text messaging rates may apply. No premium Short Message Service (SMS) charges will be applied.

Stagecoach Historical Marker

The Clemmons Historical Society presented the Stagecoach Historical Marker to the Mayor, the Village Council, and the Citizens of Clemmons on Sunday, December 29th, 2002 at the Village Hall. The sign is located on Clemmons Road in front of the Village Hall where the Hattie Butner Stagecoach is on display.

Happy 200th Birthday

The Village of Clemmons was founded in 1802. Clemmons marked its 200^th anniversary in 2002 with a year-long celebration planned by the Clemmons Historical Society.

The celebration began in January with a mural being painted at The Elms which was supervised by the N.C. Museum of Art. The "Living History Festival" was held in April and featured Roy Underhill of UNC-TV's "The Woodwrights Shop" plus many old timey crafts and trades demonstrations, music and food. The festival was held at the Clemmons Civic Center on Middlebrook Drive. During the "Living History Festival," the Clemmons Village Hall held an open house so everyone could come and see the Hattie Butner Stagecoach. The celebration continued on Sunday afternoon, May 5th, with "Historic Places Tour." The tour included the Stagecoach House, Clemmons family graveyard, Mt. Pleasant Church at Tanglewood, and the old Hope Moravian God's Acre off Hwy 158.
