We just received this announcement…

Angie Macon, executive director of the Decatur Arts Alliance, announces that the wine list / program is now posted on the Decatur Wine Festival website so you can plan your tastings this Saturday at the event (http://decaturwinefestival.org). And, if you still have not bought your tickets, hurry! There are still some for sale online at TicketAlternative.com (http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/19991.aspx). She adds, “We look forward to seeing our fellow wine lovers and supporters of the arts for a beautiful Saturday afternoon on the square in downtown Decatur. If you need any more incentive, remember that the Decatur Wine Festival is a fund-raising event that helps bring arts events to the community.”

2011 Oakhurst Arts and Music Festival — Join the Parade!

Local residents and groups are invited to be part of this year’s Oakhurst Arts and Music Festival Parade. It’s fun and it’s free! All entries are welcome (except gasoline vehicles, sorry). Parade Marshalls this year are Louise Jackson and Mary Whitehead—long time Oakhurst residents. The new parade route is only one third of a mile and winds directly through the heart of the festival. So get creative and have fun. Your club, your team, your co-workers, fellow dog owners, skateboarders or your kids’ decorated bicycles would all be great additions. To enter yourself or your group in the Parade, contact Jackie Lee at [email protected] or 404-371-9583.
