How cool is this? Give The Mad Hatter Co. in a HAM! 👏 We loved partnering with this AMAZING brand for Tifton Rhythm & Ribs Festival but we are even more proud that their products are made in Tift County! What a gem in our community. ✨

They are an amazing resource to our crew & community! We are thankful for their insight, knowledge, and friendship within our organization. 🤩 We could not run a successful event without them.

Happy National Public Works Week, Tifton! 👏🎉

Our Public Works Department handles so much for us - from storm sewer maintenance, sidewalk repair, maintenance of City streets, signs, mowing, maintenance of our cemetery, traffic signals (and much more!) - to assisting with events like the Tifton Rhythm & Ribs Festival, Hometown Holidays, Arts in Black Festival and Fiesta del Pueblo. It's safe to say their dedication keeps our City running and growing. We couldn't do it without them!

Thank you, Tifton Public Works Department.
