Fall is one of my favorite times of the month. It is a great time to be out and about with the kids. All of the Fall Festivals, the turning leaves, the great weather. My kids and I tend to venture out a lot more now than we do any other time of the year. Of course there are the regular school things to be done, fall league basketball starts and this year my daughter will be marching in the 100 Black Men Parade of Excellence sponsored by KIA. I am so excited for her as it will be televised on WSB-TV as well.
There is so much going on in Atlanta so I thought I would share a few of the things my family enjoys.
1) Fairburn Festival - October 5, 2013 - we always love small town festivals -Bridging the Past with the Future” is the 2013 Theme for the Fairburn Parade and Festival.
The Fairburn Fall Festival will take place Saturday from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. The festivities include activities for children and adults, musical performances, a food court, street entertainment and the much awaited Fairburn Festival Parade at 9:30 am.
The Fairburn Fall Festival will be held in downtown Fairburn and admission to the Festival is free and open to the general public.
The Festival brings the “Best of the Best” together. Artists, musicians and vendors provide an enriching and family oriented environment for citizens of Fairburn and surrounding communities.
Bring your family and friends out to enjoy a day of celebration, fun and fellowship.
Oh yeah don't forget to support the Campbell Elementary PTA by becoming a member for only $5 - it is open to the whole community! Or you can donate a $1.00, become a PTA Partner and have your Cougar Paw hanging on our PTA tree in the hallway of Campbell Elementary.
2) East Atlanta is one of my favorite places to wander around and this weekend on Saturday from 2pm - 6pm The Taste of East Atlanta will happen. It is an opportunity to taste from 15 of East Atlanta's fine eateries. The Taste happens throughout our village at the Restaurants situated near the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Flat Shoals Avenue. Tickets are $1 each and tastes range between 1 and 3 tickets. Proceeds go to the East Atlanta Business Association for building a stronger and more diverse business community. Who can resist food?
3) Sweet Auburn Heritage Festival - this is always one of my favorite things to do. So many vendors with great food, clothing, natural soaps, jewelry, music....did I say food, lol? Love love love this festival. The Sweet Auburn Heritage Festival attracts over 30,000 people over a two -day weekend. It is fun, food and entertainment for the whole family. In addition this year Electoral Candidates for the APS Board District 1 Brenda Muhammad and ATL Council Post 3- At Large to speak on the importance of voting.
There are so many things going on in Atlanta that I can't even begin to name them all. Get up and get out! Enjoy this great weather while you can. Go to a farmers Market, go pick fruit, or just talk a walk in the park.
