TOGETHER WITH

Good morning, Wilson County.

January is in the books. Wow, that went fast. Congrats if you participated in “Dry January.” Now, welcome to February. It’s a day longer this year, I’m not complaining about it though.

In today’s WilCo Beat:

• Project Champion

• Huge red explosion

Let’s get to it.
