A hot dog of a good time: Wienermobile visits Locust Grove

Kroger’s Locust Grove Marketplace grand opening on Nov. 6 attracted more than officials, customers and company executives. The 27-foot-long Oscar Mayer Wienermobile joined the festivities on its national tour. Caroline McCallar, known as 'Cookout Caroline,' and Norah Martin, known as 'Nacho Dog Norah,' are the Wienermobile's copilots. The duo visited Locust Grove on Nov. 6 and Nov. 8, attracting approximately 1,000 visitors. People stopped by before school and work, lining up early in the morning to see the Wienermobile. Kroger’s mascots were a part of the fun and climbed inside the Wienermobile, too. “People were thrilled to see the Wienermobile in town,” they said. “Many folks mentioned that they were surprised to see it in Locust Grove and had never seen it in person before. It's not every day you see a 27-foot-long hot dog on wheels.” McCallar and Martin have been driving around since June 2026 and Georgia is the 14th state they have visited. They visit a different city each week. The trip to Georgia was a homecoming of sorts for McCallar, a Cumming native who relished the opportunity to bring the Wienermobile to her home state. “Being able to share the Wienermobile with my close friends and

Conyers PD honors Williams for 25 years of service

CONYERS — When Cathy Williams began working for the Conyers Police Department in 2001, the city's emergency communications center looked considerably different from the technology-driven operation it is today. Twenty-five years later, Williams has remained a steady presence through changes in emergency communications, public safety technology, and the department's operations, earning recognition for her dedication to the city and the officers she supports. Williams was honored during the Nov. 4 Conyers City Council meeting, where Deputy Police Chief Kim Lucas presented her with an award recognizing a quarter-century of service. Lucas praised Williams for her professionalism, reliability and willingness to assist coworkers, describing her as an employee whose experience and dedication have made her an important part of the department. "She is the kind of employee every supervisor hopes to have — hardworking, dependable, and consistently willing to pick up the slack," Lucas said. Williams began her career in the department's Communications/911 Center in 2001. Over the years, she has witnessed the evolution of emergency communications and the expansion of the center's responsibilities into what is now known as the Real-Time Crime Center. Lucas said Williams has adapted to those changes while maintaining the attention to detail and steady approach
