“Alongside the Cullman Police Department, county commissioners, elected officials and members of the sheriff’s office, we joined the Cullman County Commission on Aging for their annual egg hunt at the Cullman County Ag Center,” Gentry said. “Events like these — bringing families, neighbors and public servants together — are what make Cullman County such a special place to call home. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with our community and be a part of moments like this. Thank you to everyone who helped make today such a great success.”
