Toss Fats, Oil and Grease Into The Trash!

As cooks gear up for the holiday season, Salisbury-Rowan Utilities has tips for discarding leftover Fats, Oils, and Grease, also known as FOG. When FOG is poured or flushed down the drain it may not travel very far through your pipes. FOG will accumulate and stick to the pipe walls causing future sewer backups in your home, restaurant, or other buildings.

Salisbury Community Appearance Commission Announces 2024 Downtown Holiday Décor Winners

For the second consecutive year, the Salisbury Community Appearance Commission invited the public to help select the best downtown holiday decorations. Voters were presented with six categories and had the opportunity to enter their names into a drawing for Downtown Dollars, encouraging robust participation and community engagement.

Award recipients will receive a commemorative keepsake from the Community Appearance Commission, as well as formal recognition at the City’s Biennial Awards Ceremony. The Commission extends its gratitude to all who voted, and especially to the downtown merchants, whose creativity and hard work made Salisbury’s downtown a captivating holiday destination

Best Overall Display: Sharp Transit at Kress Building
Most Whimsical Display: Southern SweeTees
Most Original Display: Greystone Salon
Best Display for Children: Black Crow
Best Nighttime Display: Barnhardt Jewelers
Most Creative Display: Lora Belle Baby

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Community Appearance Commission’s sponsorship of the Holiday Décor Contest. In past years, commission members personally toured and selected the winners; however, this public voting format celebrates two decades of community involvement and showcases the evolving spirit of the event.
