F rom the Town Manager…
An end of season farewell!
If you are preparing to leave for the season, please have a
great winter, and safe travels! Here are a few reminders to
help you in your preparation:
1) Let us know at Town Hall if you need to change your
mailing address.
2) Make sure your home is properly winterized; Public
Works will be happy to turn off your water at the Town
meter.
3) Stop all newspapers and forward mail.
4) Disconnect your TV’s, computers, and other electronic
devices.
5) Make sure all windows and doors are closed and locked.
6) Set your furnace/heater to a minimum setting, replace
filters, & leave closet doors open.
7) Secure anything left outside, and place undercover if
possible to avoid wind & snow damage.
8) Tell your neighbors you are leaving.
Enjoy your winter...see you next year!

The 14th Annual Seven Devils SafetyFest was held Saturday, July 1, 2017. Many gathered to browse the booths,
check-out the goodies at the bake sale, bid on Silent Auction items and listen for their name as a raffle winner.
The children, and some adults, had fun in the “Kids Carnival” area and playing putt-putt. The Seven Devils Public
Safety Officers and firemen welcomed the children at the “squirt house” and the “smoke house”. Goodie bags
and helmets were handed out while some had fingerprints taken. Others found it awesome to go up the ladder
truck, courtesy of Avery Ladder Company. Blowing Rock Fire Department provided their “bounce house” and
Grass County Line played great music. Did I forget to mention the best BBQ?
Thank you to our Platinum, Gold, Silver & Placemat Ad Sponsors and Silent Auction & Raffle Prize Contributors.
A special thanks to the many volunteers and Town employees who helped make SafetyFest possible from start
to finish. SafetyFest 2017 would not have gotten off the ground without their time & energy! Besides the best
BBQ in the High Country, craft booths, Raffle, Silent Auction and fellowship, the SafetyFest is an excellent fund-
raiser. Proceeds benefit the Seven Devils Fire, Police & Public Works Department, thereby benefitting residents,
visitors and neighboring communities with emphasis on health, safety and welfare.
Thank you for your support!

REVIEWS
Lunch was provided by Phyllis Miller in honor of Police Appreciation Week in May. It was a thoughtful gesture that was enjoyed by the 7D
Police Department.
WE LOVE OUR BLUE
WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
During the summer months, we welcomed a new neighbor. The Blue Ridge Conservancy, via a Voluntary Contiguous Annexation for 2 parcels became part of the Town of Seven Devils, effective
July 11, 2017. This property is included in the zoning for “Parks”. In late July, the Blue Ridge Conservancy hosted a “meet
& greet” with food & drinks for all to enjoy at Hawksnest.
MUSIC ON THE LAWN
Extra daylight hours, gave many a chance to tap their
toes to the entertainment of the Johnson Brothers and Amantha Mill. In June & August this well loved event was enjoyed by
many.
Thank you to the TDA & Recreation Committee for
sponsoring.
