The world today is full of unknowns - let’s learn how to have more confidence that we can defend ourselves. I asked my friend and professional trainer, Jimmy, to pull together a class for women to protect themselves. He is bringing the best of the best! Maybe you aren’t comfortable carrying a weapon but want yo be able to protect yourself. This class is perfect for all ages, that High school Senior about to go off to college, the mature woman who shops by herself…it’s not about being strong but being prepared! Please join me and grab your moms, sisters, friends and let’s be prepared!

If you missed the Bunny Brunch this morning, you really missed out! UGA Extension Charlton County 4H put on quite a spread and the Easter Bunny was there to spread lots of love and he dropped lots of eggs for the kids to hunt in the park. Now he’s back to coloring more eggs so he can visit everyone next week…Don’t forget Easter is the celebration of new things and the coming of our Savior to give us all redemption! Hope you have great plans to celebrate and be with family🐣🐥🐰 #fyp #easter #discovercharlton #visitfolkston

We are pleased to announce our next Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals classes. Our first ever midweek class will be held on Thursday, April 21st from 3-7:30 pm. The second class will be held on Saturday, April 23rd from 8-12:30pm. These classes will be conducted at the Charlton County Sheriff's Office training room. Check our FB page for info.

Full Armor Training has been approached several times to offer a Women's Only self-defense class. We envision this class being about two hours long and it won't involve any rolling around on the floor or any really hard physical contact. I am asking anyone that would be interested in such a class to please let us know by contacting us here or on our website. We are thinking $20 for the course is fair. Ask your friends and family members as well. Thanks

Our sponsors were working late into the night getting ready for our Railwatch 2022 Car Show happening this Saturday, April 2nd. Gift bags for registrants were being filled and they were sorting through the MASSIVE amount of items that will be in our 50/50. Proceeds will benefit our kids through the Star Scholarship and also the 4H Camp Scholarship. The Guinn and Ellison families were ”all hands on deck” getting prepared and I had a little sneak peak at some more items for the 50/50, like a weed eater, fans, car cleaning kits, wrenches and so much more! We have so many great sponsors who have given towards making this the Best Car Show yet…Reliant Logistics, Car’s Hot Rods, Advance Auto Parts, Phil’s Gorage, and many more. And we didn’t forget the kiddos…SeldomRidge’s To’Mater will be there for pictures! Come on out and Join in all the fun! #fyp #Railwatch2022 #CarShow #railfans #carstagram
