“Back the Blue” Ride Scheduled For Saturday

The recent police officer related shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge are just a handful of events that have sparked awareness and support for police officers, deputies, and other law enforcement around our country, including Rabun County.

A group of people in Rabun County have announced a special weekend event called the “back the blue” ride through Clayton, which will begin on Saturday at Clayton Wal-Mart at 9AM. The ride will begin approximately at 9:45am, and will travel north on US Highway 441. The planners say that those who wish to participate in the ride are encouraged to decorate your vehicle with an American flag, or other “back the blue” items including ribbons and banners.

The ride is open to everyone. All motorcycles, cars, trucks, and Jeeps are welcome.
