Let the Stars Fall on Houston County!
Grassroots community action group makes their voices heard.
On Saturday, April 19th 1 - 5pm at the Dothan Convention Center, an ambitious group of Wiregrass residents will show the region their support for the proposed Country Crossing project. The Dothan Convention Center is located at 4106 Ross Clark Circle across from Twitchell.
One of the organizers, Debbie Trueblood of Dothan, said that she’s “amazed by the incredible amount of energy, enthusiasm and talent being brought to this effort by volunteers. They’re offering to direct traffic, type, call legislators, mail letters, hand out flyers and speak at this rally. It’s just an inspiring amount of community involvement”.
Expected speakers include local business owners, private citizens, the project’s developer, Ronnie Gilley, and other interested parties. A complete slide presentation of the development, including all the features planned will be presented.
David Asbill Sr., another group organizer from the Wiregrass, said he is “really pleased with the amount of input that’s been shared in an open, friendly atmosphere. This is truly the PEOPLE speaking”.
Another organizer and local business owner Tim Hawkins said “I think it’s the best thing that could ever happen to this area, and I can’t wait for it to get here”.

Why aren’t the preachers and John Downs cronies up in arms about VictoryLand’s Milton McGregor 1 million dollar donation to Troy University? I guess they pick and choose which people are worthy to be saved from the sins of gambling. Wake up Dothan, these people are embarassing you!
