!!!HUNTING SEASON SAFETY Hunting takes place in many areas besides state game lands through January so, for safety's sake, continue to wear your orange! Make sure you are visible from all sides by wearing a minimum of 250 square inches of fluorescent (blaze) orange-colored material on the head, chest and back combined or, in lieu thereof, a hat of the same colored material. The material shall be worn so it is visible in a 360° arc.
- In recent weeks, there has been a rash of incidences of vehicle break-ins in several of the parking areas and lots that CCTC uses. Many times this involves smashing windows and stealing items within the vehicle. Please be vigilant about the belongings in your car and be aware of your surroundings. DO NOT leave any valuables in your vehicle- take them with you and don't leave anything in view.
