Rare Find: Hooded Crane in the area
According to Brad Feaster, Property Manager for Goose Pond, an extremely rare bird has taken a stop in our area:
“We currently have a Hooded Crane on the property. This is an ultra-rare bird (perhaps only 2 or 3 ever in North America). This particular bird just spent about 3 months at Hiawassee in TN. During that time period there were approximately 2500 people from 10 states that came to see the bird.”
I’m not even a bird enthusiast, and I find this to be pretty exciting and interesting.

Linton City Council Meeting – January 2012
Note: Mayor John Wilkes’ first city council meeting.
Patti Jones says farewell to City Hall
A reception was held at City Hall today to celebrate the completion of Patti Jones’ term as Mayor.
Patti took over command of the city after her late husband, Tom Jones, passed away unexpectedly in early March. We at The Lintonian are proud of Patti and what she has accomplished in such a short period of time.
Best of luck to Patti in her future endeavors. We know that she will continue to support Linton for years to come!
