In Cedar Bluff, Lorrie Green narrowly defeated Jake Crump for the District One Council Seat by a count of 52 to 42; and it appears Sunday alcohol sales will become a reality in the town, with the Yes votes outnumbering the No votes by a margin of 103 to 89.

The race for Place #1 on the Gaylesville Town Council was just about as close as you can get with Tina Rowland winning over Daniel Steele by a single vote – 31 to 30.
