Bagwell, Sawyer win senior crowns

CULLMAN, Ala. – Belinda Bagwell was crowned 2026 Ms. Senior Cullman County, while Bonnie Sawyer took the 2026 Ms. Super Senior Cullman County crown Saturday, Nov. 7. The pageant was held in the Fairview High School auditorium. The pageant was open to “super seniors,” aged 70-79 and “seniors,” aged 60-69. Pageant Director Gidget Gregory said the sisterhood was definitely evident this year. “It was actually overheard backstage, one saying, ‘I hope she wins,’” Gregory said. “They all loved the American theme, with the touch of Dolly Parton added to it.” The ladies were scored in the categories of interview, fun fashion, active wear, evening gown and on-stage question. “There were five ladies competing in the Ms. Senior Cullman County division and three ladies competing in the Ms. Super Senior Cullman County division,” Gregory said. “We are so excited for the things to come. We plan to rest a few days and then get back at again with prepping with the new queens for state.” The pageant was founded by the late Betty Leeth Haynes. Gregory said after being crowned Ms. Senior Alabama in 1997, Haynes was inspired to give other ladies in Cullman County a similar opportunity. Thus the pageant

CULLMAN, Ala. – Vinemont stopped Central-Florence on fourth down and ran out the final five minutes Friday night to earn its first playoff win since 1993. Good Hope needed two overtimes to get past Fairfield, and Cold Springs broke a tie with 27 seconds left to beat Pisgah. Those three Cullman County teams will play in the second round on Friday, Nov. 13. Addison gives the area a fourth game after improving to 11-0, while Meek closed its season at Loachapoka.

Revised Cullman ordinance drops proposed 25-foot shoreline buffer at Lake George

CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman City Council gave a first reading Monday, Nov. 9, to a revised drinking water ordinance that drops the proposed 25-foot shoreline buffer at Lake George. The council took no vote on Ordinance No. 2026-56 . (See previous story: www.cullmantribune.com/2026/11/08/cullman-proposes-2-5k-minimum-fine-for-lake-violations-but-many-catoma-rules-date-to-2007 ) The first draft named three lakes. The revision names the two that supply Cullman’s drinking water today, Lake Catoma and Duck River Reservoir. It specifies a 35-foot buffer at Catoma and a 100-foot buffer at Duck River, each measured inland from the shoreline when the reservoir is full. Cullman began using Lake George as a water source in 1958. The city later disconnected it from the water system after Lake Catoma and its treatment plant came into service in 1967, according to Tribune archives. The revised ordinance still says the Utilities Board owns property at “all current and former water supply lakes.” If Cullman draws drinking water from Lake George again, the proposed rules for land adjoining the public water supply could apply there. The revised text sets no buffer width for Lake George. Council President Kim Hall said city and utility officials had encountered three different ordinances over the past year and wanted residents

‘Signs and Wonders’: The Link holds annual gala

CULLMAN, Ala. – The Link hosted its annual fundraising gala last week. The “Signs and Wonders” Gala, took place Nov. 5, at Cotton Creek. Executive Director Melissa Betts said attendance was up from last year, with 408 attendees compared to 364 in 2025. “My favorite moment last night was truly seeing those light bulb moments happen for some of my new staff people who have just begun to connect with us and partner with us,” Betts told The Tribune the next day. “You see, it’s hard to understand sometimes just with words exactly what we do with The Link, but when someone catches the vision and when they can see it and how it fits into that story they never turn away. From that you have someone who is connected for life because they want to serve others and love their neighbor. “It’s what we’re called to do as Christians, to love our neighbor as ourselves, and when people see a way that they can do that that feels genuine to them. Why would they not want to come alongside you and serve? That’s my favorite part of this event because people find the way that they fit into the

Cullman Council addresses water supply ordinance revisions, aims to improve grant funding for museum

Updated Nov. 11, 2026, at 8:08 p.m. CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman City Council at its Nov. 9 meeting held the first reading of Ordinance No. 2026-56 . The ordinance, a revision of City of Cullman Source Water Ordinance No. 2008-05, updates restrictions and preventative measures for properties surrounding the city’s public water supplies, including Lake Catoma and the Duck River Reservoir, in order to prevent pollution and ensure water quality. Section 20-166, for use of adjacent property of the bodies of water, notes that the Utilities Board of the City of Cullman is to own property surrounding these bodies of water. For Lake Catoma, Utilities Board property limits will extend 50 feet outside this region and 100 feet outside of Duck River Reservoir. The revised ordinance states that any disposal of wastes, building, foundation or structures such as wells and other storage facilities must be located 25 feet beyond Utilities Board property limits. In addition to building, restrictions are to apply to docks and mooring systems for watercraft. The revision says no lots, real estate or tracts of land adjoining, adjacent to or bordering any waters of the public water supply shall be used for anything beyond residential purpose,

Hanceville holds 16th annual Mud Creek Arts & Crafts Festival

HANCEVILLE, Ala. – The 16th annual Mud Creek Arts & Crafts Festival took place Saturday, Nov. 7, in downtown Hanceville. The festival brought the full package of artisanal creations and other goods. Along the brick crosswalks families transitioned from one side of the street to the other for a look at the next booth. On this autumn afternoon, the string lights between humble brick storefronts weren’t the only thing connecting the town. The many goods and eccentric crafts provided the community with plenty of conversation. Attendees gazed at everything from gift baskets to gaming card collections. Seasonal vendors displayed joyous gifts of holiday cheer with upcycled wood. Christmas trees made of wood planks gave a natural, Southern charm fitting for the upcoming holiday. One booth was lined with rustic red wagons and repurposed chests filled with pillows of careful stitching depicting stars and other seasonal comforts. The wind twisting through custom ornaments and other booths huddled along Commercial Street sounded nearby sleigh bells on a display rack. The ringing, barely audible against passing cars along the highway two blocks down, created a magical ambiance. A sweet aroma filled the air – a small-town festival wouldn’t be complete without sweet treats.
