Neighbors Rally Against Loud Events Disrupting Rural Peace
Residents of Little Patrick Road voiced their concerns at a recent government meeting regarding disruptive events hosted by a neighboring farm. Kendall Longer, a local resident, described the situation as increasingly intolerable, with loud music and parties occurring every weekend, often lasting until 10 PM. She noted that the police are frequently called to the property due to noise complaints, but the disturbances continue shortly after.

Longer expressed frustration over the lack of clarity regarding the legality of these gatherings, which the farm owners claim are private family events. However, the scale of the events, featuring DJs and amplified music, raises questions about their classification. Additionally, residents are worried about safety issues, including gunfire after dark and the influx of unfamiliar guests wandering onto private properties.

Another resident, Carolyn Welch, echoed these concerns, highlighting the potential impact on property values and the rural character of the area. She pointed out that the farm's events disrupt the peace typically associated with rural living and questioned the implications of allowing such gatherings to continue unchecked. Welch emphasized the need for regulations to maintain the community's standards and protect residents from potential nuisances.

Both residents urged local authorities to investigate the situation and consider implementing measures to address the noise and safety issues, ensuring that the rural atmosphere is preserved for all community members.
