Theres always something to do, county commissioner learns

Jefferson County Commissioner Eric Timmons embarked on a month-long exploration of his county in June, participating in a variety of activities that included kayaking, fishing, and visiting local breweries. He highlighted his experiences on social media, aiming to challenge the perception that there is nothing to do in Jefferson County. Timmons received enthusiastic responses from residents, who invited him to join their events, illustrating the community's vibrant spirit. Along his journey, he toured historical sites, engaged in local sports, and volunteered at food pantries, reflecting on the county's rich history and natural beauty. He emphasized the importance of getting involved, stating, “Sometimes, you just have to get up off of the couch and get involved.

” Timmons acknowledged that while he couldn't attend every event, he found something enjoyable to do every day. He stressed the importance of community building through active participation and expressed his desire to connect with citizens outside of election cycles. Timmons’ initiative serves as a reminder of the diverse opportunities available within the county.
