Union County, NC – Drivers traveling along Highway 74 this evening should expect a law enforcement escort in the area, but officials emphasize there is no cause for alarm.
According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, the escort will travel from Indian Trail to the Union County Agricultural Center beginning around 5:30 p.m. Friday. The event is part of Hometown Heroes, a community program honoring local children bravely battling cancer.
Multiple law enforcement agencies are participating to provide a safe, memorable experience for the children and their families. Minor traffic delays are possible along Highway 74 during the convoy.
“This is a show of support and encouragement for our hometown heroes,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, thanking residents for their patience and understanding.
