Cherokee Volunteer Fire Department would like to remind all residents that even with some of the recent showers and the burn ban being lifted, the grass will still burn. Please check the weather, humidity and wind speed prior to burning. Cherokee VFD ask that you call the San Saba Sheriff’s Office and let them know that you are going to burn. This saves time of the department going out on false calls. This is for everyone’s safety and time.

There’s a new business in Cherokee called Circle Back Farms, located on FM 501 about three blocks west of Hwy 16. They grow fresh vegetables and have a Country Store where they sell those vegetables plus home decor, antiques, Texas souvenirs, books, gifts, etc. They have an email list to notify interested people when vegetables are ready. They have good gift ideas without having to travel a long distance.
