he newest buzzword in real estate isn’t downsizing or upsizing but “rightsizing,” says Kay McInroe, 2019 President of the Fayette County Board of REALTORS. “It’s called rightsizing because many people are not technically downsizing,” she explains.

•Making Movies & TV Shows• THREE MOVIE STUDIOS FEED THE AREA’S FILM AND TV INDUSTRY

Y

ellow sign. Black lettering. Directional arrow. Orange post. What are they? They are movie location signs, pointing cast and crew to a specific shooting location or base camp. These small signs are popping up more and more around Metro Atlanta—including Fayette and Coweta counties—due to the number of movie studios in the area.

Fifteen years ago, movie making was memorable but sporadic in the state of Georgia. Who can forget films like Deliverance (1972), Smokey and the Bandit (1970), Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), or Sweet Home Alabama (2002)? Classic movies made in Georgia—but they were few and far between.

Today, the movie and television industry has brought billions into the state’s economy. In 2018, Georgia ranked #1 in the nation in film and television production—beating out both California and New York for the first time.

Fayette and Coweta counties have both fared extremely well in this boon in film production. With three movie studios in the area—Pinewood Atlanta in Fayetteville, Riverwood in Senoia, and Atlanta Metro Studios in nearby Union City—there’s a lot of movie making going on around here. n Pinewood Atlanta Studios Inside the gates of Pinewood Atlanta sprawls a bonafide Hollywood movie studio.

Opened in 2014, Pinewood Atlanta is the second largest purpose-built studio in North America. On the 700-acre site there are 18 sound stages, ranging in size from 15,000 to 40,000 square feet. Adjacent to the stages are workshop facilities designed for construction, carpentry, plastering, special effects, wardrobe, props, fiber glassing and spraying—everything needed to build spectacular movie sets. One office building on the lot features a brownstone façade that resembles a New York City street. There are also parks and cafes, a 26-seat screening

theater, a coffee shop located at Stage 10, and an exact replica of the green on the 18th hole at Augusta National Golf Course—all available for filming use. Beyond that, Pinewood’s backlot spans 400-acres and includes fields, forests, and a 2-acre poured concrete visual effects pad where movie magic happens.

Pinewood Atlanta Studios has been a hotbed of movie making since opening its doors to its first production, Ant-Man with Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas. Since then, Pinewood Atlanta has been home to numerous Marvel/Disney blockbuster superhero films, including Captain America: Civil Wars; Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2; Spider-Man: Homecoming; Ant-Man andIndigo the Bunting Wasp; Avengers: Infinity War; and Avengers: Endgame. Overall, Marvel movies filmed at Pinewood Atlanta have totaled more than $10 billion in box office sales worldwide. In 2018, the Georgia Department of Economic Development reported that the movie Avengers: Infinity War alone added $182 million to Georgia’s economy.

This past year, non-Marvel productions filmed at Pinewood Atlanta include Zombieland: Double Tap; Moon and Me, a children’s pre-school series aired on Universal; and The Suicide Squad as well as Marvel’s WandaVision, streaming on Disney+.

August 2019 saw a change in studio ownership, which was initially built as a joint venture between UK-based Pinewood Studios Group and River’s Rock, an independently managed trust set up by Fayette County resident Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A. Pinewood Studios UK sold its equity in Pinewood Atlanta to River’s Rock, acknowledging that the Fayette studios group had refocused its business strategy on investment in content creation companies, while

the UK group wanted to continue focusing on studio infrastructure.

During the 18-month transition, the studio remains branded and operated as a Pinewood facility. Both groups say there will be no impact on productions shooting at the studios, which will continue to be led by Frank Patterson, president of Pinewood Atlanta.

Because of the proprietary nature of movie production, the public is seldom allowed to visit Pinewood Atlanta Studios, but if you get the chance and you love movies, don’t miss it! n Riverwood In the late 1980s, two Hollywood physical special effects pioneers, Joe Lombardi and his son Paul, decided they wanted to build a studio on the East coast. They opened Riverwood Studios in 1989 on 120 acres off an isolated road about two miles from downtown Senoia in Coweta County. The studio immediately became the home production base to a classic Georgia-made movie, Fried Green Tomatoes with Jessica Tandy and Kathy Bates.

Although the studio has a long history of TV and movie making, it is particularly prominent today because since 2011 it has been the home base for The Walking Dead (TWD), one of cable television’s highest rated series. The show takes up most of Riverwood’s studio facilities as well as the woods, fields, lakes, and abandoned railroad tracks that make up its back lot—all perfect locations for a Zombie Apocalypse television show. Some of the iconic TWD sets that have been built at the studio include, the Prison, home to Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his band of survivors in Season 3 and 4; the Sanctuary, once home to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the

Saviors; the Heaps, the junkyard once led

by Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh); the seaside motor court of Oceanside; and Hilltop, the farming colony previously commanded by Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and featuring a grand antebellum mansion facade.

The nearby town of Senoia, which became a practical location for the town of the fictional Woodbury in Seasons 3 and 4 of TWD, also is the location of the set of Alexandria from the show. This residential neighborhood at the south end of Main Street surrounded by a 15-foot high wall has been used by TWD for the last several seasons and is still a live set for the show.

In 2017, AMC network, which airs The Walking Dead, purchased Riverwood Studios from the Lombardis for $8.25 million.

This purchase more or less assures The Walking Dead a home for years ahead as well as a future for more film and television production at Riverwood.

Since AMC owns the show and no other shows are produced at Riverwood for now, Riverwood offers studio tours to the 8

public during the weeks the show is not in production. n Atlanta Metro Studios Located in South Fulton County very close to its border with Fayette, Atlanta Metro Studios has been home to a number of films and television shows. Its founders and managing partners, Atlantans Ed Richardson and Brian Livesay, constructed the complex after demolishing the 1980s-built Shannon Mall, which stood along I-85 at the Union City Exit and once was a major shopping destination for residents of Coweta and Fayette. Although the mall stood empty several years before the partners demolished it, few dreamed it would one day be the site of a six-sound stage movie studio.

Opened in 2016, Atlanta Metro Studios (AMS) can boast a number of major productions: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle; The Gifted; Pitch Perfect 3; The House with a Clock in Its Walls; 24: Legacy; Insatiable on Netflix; and HBO’s Watchmen.

Presently in production is another Dwayne

Johnson (The Rock) movie, Red Notice, which is scheduled to be released late this year.

Many productions based at AMS use sites in Coweta and Fayette counties as practical locations. One in particular, a historic Victorian house on Greenville Street in Newnan that had its exterior painted black for the movie, played a lead role in The House with a Clock in Its Walls with Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. Newnan’s downtown streets and especially its historic courthouse clocktower were also prominent.

Atlanta Metro Studios consists of 135,000 square feet of sound stages; 50,000 square feet of offices; and 60,000 square feet of mill space and full production support.

AMS’s six sound stages can be combined to make what AMS boasts to be the largest and second largest purpose-built sound stages in North America.

So, watch for those yellow signs!

Coweta and Fayette are definitely in the movies these days. i

Between Two Rivers

Chattahooche Bend photo by Chris Doane.

Inset photo courtesy of gastateparks.org.

THE HOOCH Coweta and Fayette counties lie side by side and between two rivers—the Chattahoochee and the Flint. The Chattahoochee River flows 436 miles through west Georgia with a small portion of those miles meandering along the jagged northwestern border of Coweta County. To the east of Coweta, sits Fayette and the Flint—a 350-mile river that touches Fayette’s western border beginning near Fayetteville and traveling southward past Brooks. Much further south, the two rivers merge at Lake Seminole near Bainbridge, Georgia, to form the Apalachicola River, winding its way through Florida to the Gulf of Mexico. These two very different rivers offer beauty, peacefulness and plenty of recreation to Coweta and Fayette residents.

THE HOOCH: Within the miles of Chattahoochee River that border Coweta County, you will find several recreation areas for camping, hiking, fishing, or putting in a kayak or canoe. n Chattahoochee Bend State Park Georgia’s fifth largest state park, Chattahoochee Bend spans 2,910 acres in northwest Coweta and extends along the banks of the Chattahoochee River for 5 miles.

Most of the park has been left in its natural state, but there are still plenty of activities to enjoy—camping, kayaking, a playground, picnic tables, geocaching, fishing, and an 10

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

observation tower for views of the river and forest. The park has six miles of hiking trails, some of which run along the river, while others meander ‘inland.’ A boat ramp provides easy access to the river for fishing and paddling. You can rent canoes and kayaks from the park, but there is no shuttle service. Check out the park’s Hike and Paddle trips—a guided trip that frequently sells out.

The park offers tent campers a choice of riverfront platform sites, walk-in sites, and traditional developed campsites. Also available are screened Adirondack-style shelters for families and groups.

The park is open daily, 7am to 10pm.

The parking fee is $5; annual passes are available. 770-657-7271; gastateparks.org/ ChattahoocheeBend; 425 Bobwhite Way, Newnan. n McIntosh Reserve This 527 acres of land adjacent to the Chattahoochee River is a historic site and recreational area. It lies on the Carroll County side of the river, but between Chattahoochee Bend State Park and Coweta County Riverside Park on the Coweta side.

The park land was once part of Creek Indian Chief William McIntosh’s plantation, known as Lochau G Talofau, orGAcorn Bluff.

Chief McIntosh was the son of William McIntosh, a Scottish Captain in the British Army, and Senoi, a full-blooded Creek Indian woman belonging to the influential Wind Clan. McIntosh was instrumental in negotiating the 2nd Treaty of Indian Springs in 1825, where all Creek lands west of the Flint River were ceded to Georgia for white settlement—an act for which McIntosh was brutally dragged from his home and killed by Creek warriors in retaliation. He is buried at the Reserve, near where he died. His plantation home was burned to the ground.

Today, the property is owned by the Carroll County Recreation Department. You will find about 14 miles of trails, picnic pavilions, a boat ramp, and great views of the river. Primitive camping, fishing, rafting, and canoeing are permitted. McIntosh Reserve is a good canoe/kayak take-out place for a paddle from Coweta County Riverside Park upstream or a good put-in to paddle downstream to Chattahoochee Bend State Park. Park Office hours are 8am to 5pm daily. Park hours are 8am to 8pm (summer) and 8am to 7pm (winter). 770-830-5879; 1046 McIntosh Circle, Whitesburg.

n Coweta County Riverside Park Located at the Highway 16 Bridge over the Chattahoochee River, this is a small park that is especially convenient for putting in a kayak or canoe to play around the shoals or begin a trip downriver. There are picnic tables, geocaches, a concrete boat ramp, and paved parking for leaving a car when taking a paddling trip. An easyto-moderate, 2-hour or so paddle requires a put-in at this park with either a take-out at McIntosh Reserve (7 miles downstream) or the choice of two different take-outs at Chattahoochee Bend State Park (another 1 to 4 miles downstream). The riverside park is open 6am to 8pm. 4013 Hwy 16 W, Newnan. n Columbus Whitewater Rapids

In 2013, the dams that once impounded a 2.5-mile stretch of Chattahoochee River flowing between Columbus, Georgia, and Phenix City, Alabama, were blasted away. What remains is a free-flowing river tumbling over rocky Fall Line shoals and producing what is said to be the longest urban whitewater run in the world—and it’s only about a 1-2 hour drive for Coweta and Fayette countians. The rapids range in

difficulty from Class II to IV, depending on the river’s flow rate, which is controlled by Georgia Power Company. It is said to be one of the most challenging whitewater runs in the country, and it travels right past the downtown areas of these two cities.

For more information about guided rafting trips, kayaking, and canoeing, and other outdoor recreational opportunities, visit whitewaterexpress.com or visitcolumbusga. com. n Historic Banning Mills Just a few miles north of the Chattahoochee River and Coweta County is a private recreational area worth visiting— Historic Banning Mills, where you can zip line over a canopy of forest, sky bridges, and towers. With miles of lines and five levels of tours, Banning Mills is recognized as an ultimate zip destination. There also are over 80 miles of hiking trails, paddle boats, catch and release lake fishing, horseback riding, and guided kayaking trips on the Chattahoochee. 770-834-9149; historicbanningmills.com; 205 Horseshoe Dam Road, Whitesburg. i www.guidecowetafayette.com

THE FLINT

The Flint River is one of only 40 rivers in the United States that flows unimpeded for more than 200 miles—some of which run past Fayette. It is narrow, rocky, and strewn with trees as it drifts south from the Atlanta airport area through congested urban areas. You can catch a glimpse of it from various bridges in Fayette, but there is no easy access. Travel a few miles south, though, and the river widens and the surrounding landscape becomes more rural. You will find kayak/canoe access at both Sprewell Bluff Park and the Flint River Outdoor Center as well as smaller put-in/take outs along the way through Pike, Meriwether, and Upson counties. n Sprewell Bluff Park

Sprewell Bluff Park, 80 miles from the river’s headwaters, is the first large area as you travel downstream that is designed for public river recreation. Now operated by Upson County, the park opened in 1994 as a state park, sitting on the east bank at one of the river’s most beautiful natural areas—Sprewell Bluff. Here, rocky shoals stretch the river’s width, and bluffs tower on both banks. Canoeists and kayakers paddling through this section can experience the Class II rapids, but the shoals directly off the pebble beach in the park’s day-use area are gentle enough for wading and tubing. Amenities at the park include campgrounds, cabins, a trading post, picnic table, a boat ramp into the river, and about 10 miles of hiking trails. 706-6016711; sprewellbluffpark.com; 700 Sprewell Bluff Rd., Thomaston.

n Flint River Outdoor Center Relaxed and unpretentious, this family-owned business is the only outfitter directly on the Flint. Strategically located, the outfitter sits below some of the river’s most scenic Class II stretches and less than a mile above the only Class III and IV whitewater section on the entire Flint. The Flint River Outdoor Center rents canoes, and offers fishing, hiking, camping, lodging and shuttle service. During the summer, the Outdoor Center offers 5-, 10-, and 20-mile canoe trips, as well as 1-mile float trips for tubers. 706-647-2633; 4429 Woodland Rd.,Thomaston. i

T

he Southern Conservation Trust (SCT) is a Fayette County-based community land trust that protects greenspace, conserves forests, safeguards rivers, shelters wildlife, and provides environmental education.

Founded in 1993 by Fayette County residents, SCT owns, manages, and protects thousands of acres throughout the Southeast. SCT not only protects land, but it believes people should have access to enjoy it. Fortunately for residents of this area, SCT owns and operates eight nature areas that are free and open from dawn to dusk.

Outdoor Recreation • Area Lakes

Recreating Recreating ON THE Lake n Lake Peachtree – Peachtree City A focal point of Peachtree City, the 240-acre lake sits just below the Highway 54 Bridge in the heart of town. The multiuse path around the lake’s perimeter is just short of four miles and a favorite of walkers and runners. On the lake’s east side, the path runs along its contour never far from its shore, providing excellent views. On the western side, the path— more like a sidewalk—is further from the lake, running west of Peachtree City’s first neighborhoods. Lake Peachtree is reserved for the use of Peachtree City residents and their accompanied guests. Only non-gasoline powered boats—canoes, kayaks, pontoons, and electric driven boats—are allowed (any power boats you see are grandfathered in for lakeside homeowners). Swimmers and fishermen (with state required fishing licenses) are welcome. There are several public access areas into the lake, including Battery Way Park on the east side and Drake Field and 14

the Picnic Park on the north side adjacent to the City Hall Complex.

Amenities around the lake include Lake Peachtree Dam with its lake-viewing bridge and paths; Spyglass Island, a 7.4-acre island on the lake with picnic tables and paths; Picnic Park and AllChildren’s Playground; and Drake Field with its gazebo, paths, wide-open spaces, benches, and beautiful lake views. 151 Willowbend Rd., Peachtree City. n Lake McIntosh The largest of Peachtree City’s three lakes, this 650-acre reservoir on Line Creek is home to the Peachtree City Rowing Club. Lake McIntosh, operated

by Fayette County, has a park with multiuse paths, a picnic pavilion, playground, gazebo, restrooms, boat ramps and docks, and substantial parking for golf carts and automobiles. The park provides the only public access to the lake. Boats with electric motors, canoes, paddle boats and

Something for Everyone!

THREE OUTDOOR VENUES

n Frederick Brown, Jr. Amphitheater 2019 was a banner year for the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater. Voted “Best Outdoor Music Venue” by Insite Atlanta Magazine for the second consecutive year, Peachtree City’s premier entertainment venue continued to make strides.

A Peachtree City landmark, the amphitheater, known by locals as “The Fred,” boasts great acoustics and a wooded, intimate setting that makes it a favorite venue for both audience and performers.

Two years ago, Peachtree City hired PTR, a joint venture of Atlanta-based companies Premier Events, RCS Productions, and Ticket Alternative, to take over management of the amphitheater. The team’s major initiative was to add more shows to the lineup, bringing more talent to the community and extending the venue’s use longer throughout the year. Last year, The Fred hosted 14 shows, the most in one season in its history.

20

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

“Each year has seen an increase in crowds and bigger name national acts,” says Chris Adamson, marketing manager for Premier Events. “2019 was a banner season with a great mix of shows, including Air Supply, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Kool & The Gang and Chris Botti!”

Along with an extended season, the new management also is making renovations with the intention of giving patrons the best experience possible. Updates are also planned in the food and beverage options The Fred provides.

The Fred will offer a mix of artists this coming season, with some artists returning to the venue’s stage and others excited to perform at The Fred for the first time.

“When performers come here for the first time, they are amazed at the atmosphere and the state-of-the-art facility,” says Adamson. “The word spreads fast about what a great venue it is.”

Some of the performers who have

taken to its stage during The Fred’s 29-yearold Summer Concert Series include Lindsey Buckingham, Pat Benatar, Dionne Warwick, The Commodores, Melissa Etheridge, Hall and Oates, Phillip Phillips, Styx, Smash Mouth, Peter Frampton, Michael McDonald, Gladys Knight, Blake Shelton, and the Beach Boys. This year’s lineup includes classic rock artists and tribute bands as well as one country show.

The Fred has seen a lot of changes since it was first built in 1976 by the McIntosh Trail Arts Council as a 1,600-seat outdoor facility to show “The McIntosh Trail,” a play that told the story of the death of Chief William McIntosh. Named the McIntosh Amphitheater when it was purchased by the City of Peachtree City in 1977, it hosted a weekly McIntosh Opry, showcasing local and regional country and bluegrass music and clogging. In 1986, the programming expanded to include oldies and performances by the AtlantaG Pops Orchestra.G In 1989, a fire

damaged the facility, closing it temporarily. In 1991, the amphitheater reopened after renovations and was then renamed after former mayor Frederick Brown, Jr. Since then, it has been used as a concert venue for national and international touring acts.

Today, the 2,500-seat amphitheater includes lawn seating, a picnic table area, and a Gold Section of tables at the foot of the stage. Patrons can bring a picnic basket and cooler or purchase food and drink from The Fred’s restaurant vendor.

“With so many great venues in the Atlanta area,” says Adamson, “it’s an honor for The Fred to be voted Best Outdoor Venue for two years in a row. We intend to keep making improvements in the venue itself and giving patrons an entertaining and fun experience throughout the season and for years to come.”

770-631-0630; amphitheater.org; 201 McIntosh Trail, Peachtree City.

n Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Amphitheater With a name like Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Amphitheater, you might expect this outdoor concert venue in Fayetteville to focus on country music acts—but at Southern Ground, you will find music for everyone!

“We try to offer a wide variety of programing each season,” says Brian Wismer, director of the Main Street Tourism Association, which manages the amphitheater for the City of Fayetteville. “Our community is diverse—in age and in ethnicity. We want to offer a concert season filled with different types of music and artists—a season where everyone will find some shows to enjoy.”

Each year, venue management ask patrons for suggestions as to what type of music and what artists they would like to see at the Southern Ground Concert Series. The city opens an online survey where participants can note which genres of music they like,

plus choose up to 10 preferred acts from a list ranging from ABBA to The Zombies. Respondents can also write in favorite artists for consideration, although the city notes: “we only hold 1,500 guests so stadium acts are pretty much out.”

The 2020 season should see about 8-10 shows, where season ticket holders can pick a set of five. Most seasons include one country act, one to two tribute bands and the rest rock or classic rock.

Spotlight shows outside the Summer Concert Series may include other niche music genres, such as oldies, jazz and blues.

Grammy Award-winning musician Zac Brown has lent his name to this music venue located in the heart of Fayetteville’s historic Main Street District. His Zac Brown Band performs a huge concert every other year at the venue to benefit Brown’s Fayette Countybased Camp Southern Ground for kids.

Other musicians who have performed on the Southern Ground stage include Foghat, Boz Scaggs, Don McLean, Little River Band, the Pointer Sisters, Grand Funk Railroad, Wynonna, Blood Sweat and Tears, the Temptations, and Clint Black. The amphitheater also offers free local concerts and free family film nights, all under the stars.

The amphitheater—which has a 50-foot stage and naturalgrass, tiered seating—is now 18 years old. In the near future, Wismer is looking forward to making some renovations, particularly

n Serenbe Playhouse How do you land an actual vintage Vietnam War helicopter in the fields for Miss Saigon? How do you sink the Titanic in the local lake? How do you seat an audience in 1950s autos for a “drive-in” production of Grease or in a grandstand surrounded by a live carnival for a production of Carousel?

Recently named one of the Top 20 Theaters in the nation by Playbill, Serenbe Playhouse is a regional theatre that has made a name for itself by asking and answering all of these questions and more. This playhouse has a direction that is all its own—very different in a very wonderful, innovative and exciting way. One of the most cutting edge theaters in the country, Serenbe Playhouse stages its musical and dramatic productions in the varied landscapes of the Serenbe community. At Serenbe Playhouse, there is no permanent outdoor stage—only the great outdoors.

Serenbe Playhouse founder and artistic director Brian Clowdus says that he would love to say he had Serenbe’s “outdoor vision” from Day One; but initially, he did his productions outdoors out of necessity because there was no money and no facilities. By the end

22

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

of Serenbe’s first season, however, the outdoor setting “became the element generating all the buzz.”

That was eleven years ago. Today, Serenbe Playhouse’s set design approach is anchored in the natural settings of the Serenbe community. Based on the strength of story and its adaptiveness to an outdoor location, Clowdus chooses one show as a season anchor.

He then considers the show’s themes and chooses other shows that relate to it. In the past, he’s produced a Season of Rebellion with shows like Grease and Cabaret and a Season of Voyages with titles like The Little Mermaid, Titanic, and Peter Pan. Next, Serenbe creates the staging for each show, and that is where the real fun begins. Each show is unique: Shenandoah emerged out of a Civil War re-enactment. Ragtime took place under a vaudeville tent along a Serenbe lake, which stood-in for the shores of Atlantic City. Hair was a re-creation of Woodstock in a wildflower meadow.

In the 2020 “Season of Blooms,” Serenbe Playhouse will explore stories where characters experience significant growth. How will this season’s shows—Spring Awakening (March 18-April 12), Steel Magnolias (May 20-June 14), Alice in Wonderland (June 4-August 30) and Kinky Boots (July 8-August 9)—“bloom” from the Serenbe landscape? It remains to be seen, but somewhere in the community’s vast acreage, there is a perfect plot of land just waiting to be a stage.

Air Show Time Again!

FALCON FIELD May 16–17, 2020 F-35 DemoTeam. Photo by Senior Airman Alexander Cook.

O

nce again, jet engines will roar and contrails will crisscross the skies of Peachtree City when the Atlanta Air Show comes to Atlanta Regional Airport – Falcon Field on May 16-17.

The Atlanta Air Show, which has been held at Atlanta Motor Speedway the past three years, is making Falcon Field its home—a joy to folks who have missed having an air show in town since 2015 when the Great Georgia Air Show made its last appearance here. Officials for the Atlanta Air Show say the move to Falcon Field allows for a more traditional event site with static aircraft on display and spectators able to view all the flight activities, such as takeoffs and landings.

“We’re really excited about the move to Falcon Field in Peachtree City,” said Bryan Lilley, chairman of the Atlanta Air Show. “It is a fantastic venue that will be very spectator friendly and allow us to have as many cool aircraft on display on the ground as we do flying in the air.”

The US Air Force F-35 Lightning II Demo Team will be headlining the show. The F-35 Lightning II, also known as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, is a single-seat, single-engine, all28

weather stealth fighter that has just been declared operational by three branches of the US Department of Defense. Other air demonstrations will include the F4-U Corsair and the L-39 Cold War Era Jet. More than 30 aircraft will be on static ground display, including the P-51 Mustang, the P-63 King Cobra, the SPD Dauntless, the T-34 Mentor, the PT-19, and the T-6 Texan. There will be simulators, interactive exhibits, a kids zone, and more.

The display and viewing area encompasses over 20 acres of the airfield. Gates will open at 9am so it’s suggested visitors come early in order to see “all the cool stuff on the ground before the flying starts!”

If you plan to spend the day, a special VIP ticket package includes elevated box seating, catered lunch, and VIP parking.

There are also Photo Pit tickets that allow guests to enter a restricted area outside the crowd line that provides an unobstructed view of the aircraft in the air.

Heritage Days Celebrates • 75th Anniversary of WWII Victory •

1945

marked the end of the Second World War—first in Europe on May 8 and second in Japan on August 14. Crowds gathered. Flags waved.

People cheered the parades of soldiers and sailors who came home from six long years of war. This global war, where over 70 million people fought in the armed forces of the Allied and Axis nations, involved about 70 countries around the world. There were several million military deaths worldwide— including over 400,000 Americans—and approximately 6 million Jewish people died in gas chambers in Nazi concentration camps.

That was 75 years ago, and the number of people who were present and veterans who fought are fewer and fewer.

This year’s annual WWII Heritage Days will celebrate the end of that Great War and commemorate those who fought—“the 30

Greatest Generation.”

The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Dixie Wing will salute the 75th Anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II on May 2-3 at its annual WWII Heritage Days at Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field in Peachtree City. Now in its 17th year, WWII Heritage Days will celebrate the anniversary with new events, such as a Heroes Parade and a commemorative wall, where families can highlight heroes of the Greatest Generation.

“This will be a rare opportunity to honor and thank our living WWII veterans, as well as remember those who have passed,” says Jim Buckley, leader of the all-volunteer Dixie Wing. “Their numbers are dwindling rapidly, and WWII Heritage Days is a great opportunity to show them our gratitude.”

WWII Heritage Days is the largest World War II-themed event in Georgia,

bringing together historic aircraft, dozens of vintage military vehicles, antique cars, educational displays, and demonstrations.

More than 500 volunteers from a dozen states help create the event’s 1940s atmosphere.

On Saturday evening, the romance and glamor of the Big Band Era will return during “Keep ’em Flying,” a 1940s-themed hangar dance, featuring a live 20-piece swing band. The evening is set in the Dixie Wing Warbird Museum, decorated to recreate the ambiance of the period. The dance has become a regional tradition, selling out for the last six years.

“WWII Heritage Days is an immersion experience,” says Buckley. “The sights and sounds will inspire people of all ages in the community to connect with the legacy of the Greatest Generation.” i

Historic Sites Starr’s Mill. Aerial photo by Michael Head.

n Starr’s Mill

Starr’s Mill is one of the most historic, picturesque, and photographed sites in Georgia. Located in Fayette County just a mile south of Peachtree City on White Water Creek, the mill sits along what was once a portion of the old McIntosh Trail—a well-known Indian trail that ran from the Ocmulgee River on the eastern border of Butts County in Georgia onward to Alabama and beyond.

The first mill at this site was built in the mid-1820s, not long after the Creek Indians ceded this land to the United States government and it was opened to white settlement. Over the years, that mill and a subsequent one burned down. In 1907, William T. Glower constructed the mill that stands today, but oddly, the name Starr’s Mill is attributed to Hilliard Starr, who owned the mill in the 1870s.

Starr’s Mill operated until 1959, using a water-powered turbine, instead of a wheel, to grind corn and operate a sawmill. The mill

site also included a cotton gin and a dynamo that produced electricity for nearby Senoia.

Today, the Fayette County Water Department owns the mill and about 16 surrounding acres. It is open to the public for fishing and picnicking. Starr’s Mill has been a location for two movies, Sweet Home Alabama and Fried Green Tomatoes, and more recently, Marvel’s WandaVision, streaming on Disney+. Starr’s Mill park is open 6:30am to 6pm EST; 6:30am to 8:30pm DST. The mill building itself is seldom open to the public. 115 Waterfall Way, Fayetteville. n Brown’s Mill Battlefield On July 30, 1864, during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War, the Battle of Brown’s Mill was fought near Newnan. Confederate forces under Joseph Wheeler defeated Edward M. McCook’s Union cavalry, which was on a daring raid to sever communications and supply lines in south-central Georgia. The battle changed the course of the Atlanta Campaign,

forcing Sherman to abandon his efforts to use cavalry to cut Atlanta’s railroads and compelling him to begin a lengthy siege of Atlanta.

The 100-acre historic site where the battle was fought was open to the public on July 27, 2013. Owned by Coweta County, the Brown’s Mill Battlefield is largely undeveloped but features two walking/ running trails (2 miles and 1.3 miles) and an outdoor pavilion. Numerous historical markers provide background on the 5-hour battle that ended with 150 men dead and wounded and over 1,000 more captured and imprisoned in the brutally overcrowded Andersonville prison.

The Brown’s Mill Battlefield Association organizes battle reenactments and guided tours throughout the year. The park is open daily and admission is free. 770-254-2627; friendsofbrownsmillbattlefield.com; 155 Millard Farmer Rd., Newnan. i www.guidecowetafayette.com

Shopping n Antiquing Coweta and Fayette counties are a growing destination for antique shopping.

Unique and authentic, there is something for everyone in the charming antique stores along Senoia Road through the heart of Tyrone, including the 12,000-squarefoot Circa Antiques, a vintage market with numerous vendors. Opened in 2019,

Heirloom Market Company and Bakeshop in Sharpsburg houses more than 50 local artisans. The Farmhouse, on the outskirts of Senoia, carries antiques and farmhouse decor. Brown’s Crossing Antique Market on the East side of Peachtree City offers antiques and collectibles dating from the late 1800s to today.

n Bargain Shopping The area also includes an abundance of thrift and consignment shops of all kinds.

A few are Clothes Less Traveled, Encore Interior Consignment, and Wellspring—all in Peachtree City; Goodwill of North Georgia and Red Door Consignment in Tyrone; Graceland Thrift Store in Union City; and Plato’s Closet Newnan.

Reviving the Outdoor Market Tradition

O

utdoor markets have sprung up all across Coweta and Fayette counties, reviving a shopping tradition that is as old as civilization.

Archaeological evidence shows Pompeii had a provisions market in the heart of the city, where locals would barter for meats, produce, and breads. Open air, public markets were known in ancient Babylonia, Greece, and Egypt. Closer to home, the first farmers market in the United States opened in 1634 in Boston, with other openair markets quickly following in towns like New York and Philadelphia.

More than a place to buy and sell food and wares, public markets have always been civic spaces, where the community can come together and celebrate life and the out-of-doors. Occurring weekly or monthly, here are some of the prominent outdoor markets in our area. n Night Market

Inspired by European and Asian outdoor markets, Night Market is a public market featuring music, entertainment, food and artists.

On any given market night, you might find up to 100 of the finest local, regional and national juried artists—displaying everything from pottery to watercolors—and six to eight food trucks. Craft beer, mixed drinks and wine are available. Local bands and performance groups perform from the Gazebo Stage throughout the night. Night Market is sponsored by Peachtree City and the Peachtree City Convention and Visitors Bureau. The market is held March through December on the second Saturday night of the month, beginning at 5pm at Drake Field overlooking Lake Peachtree. nightmarketptc.com. n Peachtree City Market

Community, local farmers, and artisans all come together at the Peachtree City Market. Originally founded as an organic market, it has expanded to be more diverse. About 50 vendors set up their displays of fresh, in-season, locally grown fruits and vegetables, grass-fed meats, homemade breads, goat cheese, jams, honey, pottery, soaps and more. There’s live music and food trucks. The Market is held every Wednesday and Saturday morning in the parking lot at Aberdeen

Shopping Village—9am to 1pm for the regular market season and 10am to 1pm during the winter season. peachtreecitymarket.com n Coweta County Farmer’s Market

Locally grown fruits, vegetable, honey, and fresh cut flowers— you will find that and more at the Coweta County Farmer’s Market.

This seasonal market opens about mid-June to about mid-October.

It is open weekly through the summer months at two different local sites: around the courthouse square in downtown on Wednesdays and at the Asa M. Powell Sr. Expo on Saturday mornings. n Main Street Newnan Market Day

This market showcases a variety of handmade, homemade, and homegrown products created by local artisans, artists, and farmers.

Market favorites include: locally grown produce, honey, jams and jellies, pottery, art, hand-woven baskets, leather products, fresh baked goods, handcrafted furniture, and much more! Hosted by Main Street Newnan, Market Day takes place on the first Saturday of every month from April to December, around the courthouse square in downtown Newnan, from 10am to 2pm. mainstreetnewnan.com i

his area has grown up with Smith and Davis, a family owned Fayette County clothing store located between Fayetteville and Peachtree City. Opened in 1965 by Fred Smith and Ronald Davis, the store provided work gear, shoes, and clothing for what was then the mostly rural communities of Fayette, Coweta, Clayton, and Fulton counties.

Today, Smith and Davis is still owned and operated by the Ronald Davis family. Ronald Davis is there on a daly basis, along with his wife, sons, daughter, and their families.

All have a hand in taking care of the store and its loyal clientele.

From big tent sales to everyday shopping, Smith and Davis sells today’s fashions in lifestyle, athletic, work, and outdoor apparel, shoes, and accessories—all with an emphasis on classic Southern brands.

Smith and Davis promises customers will get top quality products at a fair price—and that “there will always be a Davis in the building to take care of you.”

the food truck phenomenon

H

WALK UP AND ORDER!

ot dog carts, barbecue, taco wagons, ethnic and fusion cuisine, cupcakes, ice cream, and everything in between— what are we talking about? Food trucks, of course! The popularity of food trucks the last few years cannot be overstated, and the exponential growth of food trucks taking advantage of this trending situation is explosive.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, more than 2.5 billion people eat street food every day! A lot of that is sold from a cart, but more and more of that food is cooked to order from a food truck.

A New York Times article traced the entire food truck industry back to

Cakes, Cupcakes, Donuts, Pies, Pakes, Macarons, Variety of Sandwiches, Casseroles-To-Go Tuesday-Friday 9-6 Saturday 9-3; Sun/Mon Closed 12 Greenville St, Newnan, GA 30263 678-673-6707 404-597-3941 48

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

1872 when vendor Walter Scott parked his covered wagon in front of a local newspaper office in Providence, Rhode Island, and sat inside selling sandwiches, pies, and coffee to the newspaper’s pressmen and journalists. A few years later, Thomas H. Buckley opened a nighttime lunch wagon in Massachusetts.

Within 10 years, Buckley’s wagons were in 275 towns across America. At some point, the Texas chuck wagon cropped up, feeding cattlemen as they herded cattle across the West, and in the 1950s, the US Army sent out mobile canteens.

The beginning of today’s food truck phenomenon is pinpointed to Los Angeles, 2008, when entrepreneurs, Mark Manguera, Caroline Shin, and Chef Roy Choi received national attention with their food truck—Kogi BBQ Taco Truck.

Dining The following economic downturn and recession helped spur on the success of food trucks across the country.

Today, in Coweta and Fayette, food trucks specializing in all ethnic cuisines have a presence at most community events. The Peachtree City Market has a long history of food trucks. Food trucks line the grounds of Peachtree City’s Night Market as well as the annual Dragon Boat Races. In Newnan, there are food trucks at Summer NewnaNights and Main Street events. The Food Truck Frenzy sponsored by Fayette County Parks and Recreation is a reoccurring monthly event where food trucks are the main draw. Line Creek Brewery in Peachtree City as well as Abide Brewing Company in Newnan do not serve food but frequently bring in food trucks for the appetites of customers.

You will find food trucks in our area that originated from out of state, like SinCityWings from Las Vegas.

Island Chef Cafe, Habanero Grill, A Little Nauti, and The Mad Greek are popular food trucks from the Atlanta area that travel to Coweta and Fayette counties regularly. Local restaurants, like Grazing Here and Pita, own their own food trucks. But the largest number of food trucks are locally owned, much like a mom and pop restaurant—like Dirty Beard BBQ and Me Lumpia Long Time out of Newnan and Mommie’s Empanadas out of Tyrone.

So, the next time you see a food truck, stop and get in line. Food trucks are fun—a chance to try the street food of different cultures, convenient—just walk up and order, and sociable—like the friendly 1950s lunch counter. i

ucked away on a pocket of land off Petrol Point in east Peachtree City is a nine-acre tract of woods that is about to become the talk of the town.

A perfect storm of builder, designer, and a city’s need for redevelopment, the planned Laurel Brooke neighborhood emulates the picturesque North Cove neighborhood off North Peachtree Parkway. With narrow streets, brick sidewalks, lush landscaping, and charming Savannah-style homes and squares, this small, mixed-use neighborhood is also designed with a sprinkling of work/ live options, condos, townhomes, a club house, Bed & Breakfast guest houses, and a corporate building with a bakery and coffee shop.

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

Laurel Brooke developer and builder Douglas Feller, came to Peachtree City from Nashville eight years ago to live and raise his children. Feller, who grew up on a farm, started a construction and real estate development company soon after graduating from high school. Over the years, his Nashville-based Feller Holdings, Inc. expanded from residential to commercial construction and development.

Feller quickly became acquainted and enamored with the architecture of longtime Peachtree City resident Jim Strickland.

Feller looked for a home in North Cove—a neighborhood Strickland’s Historical Concepts architectural firm had designed in the 1990s—and eventually, purchased one

in St. Andrews Square, one of Strickland’s first ventures into designing a small parcel of land into an aesthetically pleasing collection of homes.

Feller, who had never planned to work in Peachtree City, soon realized that there were opportunities for renovating business and retail areas in the 60-year-old town as well as numerous small parcels of land throughout that were available and ripe for neighborhood and commercial development.

In his mind, there would be no better partner for this type of development and redevelopment than Jim Strickland and Historical Concepts.

“Once I decided I wanted to build in Peachtree City,” said Feller, “it was Jim

Strickland’s designs that inspired me.”

For Jim Strickland, the designing of Laurel Brooke is a coming home of sorts. Strickland, who has lived in Peachtree City since 1976, began his career building homes in some of the town’s first neighborhoods. In 1982, he founded Historical Concepts with a “commitment to produce original works of architecture and planning.” His St. Andrews Square neighborhood began to form his vision of neighborhood design and his stunning North Cove began to determine his legacy.

In the 1990s, Strickland decided to focus all of Historical Concepts’ efforts on architecture. Today, the company’s designs can be found in prestigious communities in 25 states—including the New York Hamptons; the South Carolina Low Country; Sun Valley, Idaho; and Celebration and Watercolor in Florida—and in faraway places like the Caribbean and Patagonia.

Laurel Brooke is a welcome opportunity for Strickland and his Historical Concepts team to work in his hometown of Peachtree City once again.

“I owe Peachtree City a lot,” says Strickland. “If it hadn’t been for Peachtree City, I would not have been able to do what I’ve done in my career. Doug gives us a chance to come in and do something 56

really good again here. With Laurel Brooke, Doug takes the vision we had in North Cove and expands it, bringing a different touch to our designs.”

“Laurel Brooke is about evolving the North Cove vision—to make it even better,” says Feller. “Jim’s involvement and inspiration to this project cements his legacy in Peachtree City.”

As the foundations are poured and the framing goes up, Feller and Strickland see Laurel Brooke as a stepping stone to future redevelopment in Peachtree City.

“Most developers are looking for large tracts of land,” says Feller, “but in Peachtree City, there is an opportunity to build on small parcels, in tight confines where you can design quaint, little neighborhoods or commercial areas. This is what Peachtree City needs, and I think this is a direction that the City might be interested in working towards.“ “Laurel Brooke is the beginning of a perfect marriage of the town and what Doug wants to do,” says Strickland. “The town is great—always has been. Peachtree City did a lot of things right to attract Doug here in the first place. Doug now has the opportunity to make Peachtree City even better for people to come.” i

Peachtree City’s Cresswind Community Wins National Award O

On behalf of Cresswind Peachtree City, Lifestyle Director, Nicole Jurovics, receives national honors as silver award winner for “Lifestyle Program” by the National Association of Homebuilders.

CRESSWIND PEACHTREE CITY 58

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

n Jan 21, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada, the National Association of Homebuilders awarded Cresswind Peachtree City national honors as the silver award winner in the 2020 55+ NAHB Housing Awards for “Lifestyle Program.” Nicole Jurovics, the Lifestyle Director, accepted the award on behalf of Cresswind Peachtree City.

The approximately 600 residents all agree that Cresswind is a very special community that they bought into when they purchased their new home from Kolter Homes. From the very beginning, Kolter Homes planned a true community, as opposed to simply building great homes. The Cresswind lifestyle is unique in that it is centered around the pillars of Fitness, Nutrition and Relationships. This award-winning lifestyle can be found in every Cresswind community.

Kolter defined the demographics of the community as “Active Seniors.” Then they provided the residents with an 18,000 square foot Clubhouse with an indoor and outdoor pool, a gym, exercise room, art room, full

kitchen, yoga room, ballroom, salon, and plentiful seating areas. Outside, they placed tennis courts and the hugely popular pickleball courts. They also provided a grill area and a large outdoor concert pavilion with a dance area.

Amenities such as those can be found in many new developments, so why did Cresswind Peachtree City capture such a coveted award? The answer is that they didn’t just build houses and buildings. From the very beginning, Kolter provided professional fulltime leadership to help the residents become a real community.

Hired as Lifestyle Director in mid-2017, Nicole Jurovics took charge of meeting every new resident and helping them meet other residents by providing a growing base of clubs and interest groups. She supported the residents as they launched weekly TGIF get-togethers, community luncheons, indoor parties, an exciting schedule of weekly fitness classes, and outdoor concerts featuring tremendously successful tribute performers.

New construction continues to have a positive influence in the market in both counties. i

Real Estate TOP 5 REASONS YOU NEED A REAL ESTATE AGENT

F

or most people, the purchase of a house is the single largest business transaction that they will make in their lives. Their house will become the single largest asset that they will own. It stands to reason that buyers need to be as informed as possible before purchasing a new home.

With today’s tech-savvy, internet users living in a “do-it-yourself” world, it looks like buying a house should be simple. No doubt that some of this “For Sale By Owner” group will save a few dollars on buying a house.

However, the purchase of a house does not always go smoothly.

• EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE – To get the privilege of representing a major real estate organization, your realtor must study and pass multiple tests, including those required by the state and by the company itself. Clients benefit from this wealth of knowledge.

• LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWLEDGE – Unless you already live in the area where you intend to buy a house, there are probably a lot of unknowns concerning the area. You are sure to find many photos online of the house, but what about the neighborhood and subdivisions surrounding the house?

What about the quality of schools in the area and the availability of churches and social organizations? A real estate agent can help you obtain all of this information.

• LEGAL AND FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE – Seldom does a buyer purchase a house with a check for the full amount. Generally, the realtor can be helpful in locating attorneys that specialize in real estate and mortgage lenders that play an important part in the buying equation. Realtors also can advise on special language in a contract that needs to be addressed or avoided.

• PRICE & MARKET GUIDANCE – Prices for houses are always moving up or down.

Real estate agents are in the local market all

year long and have the experience to give a buyer or seller valuable advice on what price will be able to “move” a sale, or “close” a deal. Either way they can help both the seller and the buyer.

• NEGOTIATION ABILITY – Most people are not experienced in negotiating the sale or purchase of a house. Sellers love their homes and want to get the most out of the sale—which could cause them to overprice and lose a sale. Buyers might make an offer too low, leaving room for another buyer to come in and offer a higher price. Real estate agents for both sellers and buyers know how to negotiate based on fact, rather than emotion.

These are just a few of the reasons why people need to hire a competent, professional, licensed, real estate agent to guide them through the important decisions that are all part of buying a house i.

Drone Photography is the Latest Marketing Tool

S

ales of homes are soaring with the use of professionally produced aerial videos. In fact, homes marketed with aerial photography and video sell 68% faster, as reported by Multiple Listing Service, and the National Association of Realtors report that 73% of homeowners prefer to list with an agent who uses videos.

Initially, drone aerial photography was only considered as an option for multimillion dollar listings, but real estate agents are discovering that the benefits reach beyond luxury listings. Today, aerial photography offers affordable aerial perspectives of homes and neighborhoods to enhance the indoor tour experience. Tom Black, owner of Overview 3sixty Aerials, said, “over the past 2 years, approximately 20% of the listings that were filmed have been million dollar listings, 50% have been between $500,000 to $900,00 and 30% have been under $500,000. The sky is the limit with aerial photography.”

Drone photography fills a void between traditional ground photography and aerial photographs taken from a plane or other aircraft. Drones can film from 2 ft. off the ground and soar up to 400 ft. This dynamic range showcases all angles of a home, it’s layout, features, and property lines. Riverfront properties and properties that have amenities, lakes, and golf courses lend themselves to scenic aerials that tell a story and engage the viewer Take your brand to new heights with the latest marketing tool 62

in real estate. High quality aerial photography and video produces impressive marketing campaigns that differentiate and set apart property listings. An experienced professional drone pilot can capture aerial images that help you to sell listings and will go beyond that to also help you sell lifestyles.

Drones help the homebuyer to see the overall lifestyle of an area, as well as the home, and convey a story with all the benefits and value. Today drones and aerial photography are giving both the buyer and the seller a modern tool when making an important real estate decision.

2020 TRENDS IN INTERIOR DESIGN

By Mary Quinn Teagle

T

rends in interior design are not like trends in clothing where next season can bring a complete reversal. Trends in interior design tend to stick around for a while and can feel unique and fashionable for years to come. As we enter a new decade, the trends for 2020 are mostly somewhat tweaked trends from the last few years. A few things are fading, while others are becoming even more popular.

Mary Quinn Teagle is the owner of Lasting Impressions Design. She has been bringing beautiful interior and exterior design to homes in Peachtree City for more than 30 years.

Currently, Mary Quinn is creating for the new Laurel Brooke neighborhood. You can follow her on Instagram at Lasting Impressions.

n Kitchens Interesting and comfortable, the kitchen is a place where everyone gathers.

New kitchens are certainly different from those of our mothers, and kitchen remodels are probably one of the most popular of all remodeling projects.

In kitchens, open cabinets for dinner and glassware are a long running trend.

Functional and beautiful, open cabinets are a wonderful place to store and display dinnerware sets as well as copper pots and vintage glasses.

Black is back in kitchen appliances. Not a glossy black, though. Instead, flat or mat.

Mixing metals is also trending. Brushed gold,

copper and bronze. Mix them all. Try a copper hood with brush gold handles.

Will granite countertops ever go out of style? Definitely not, but quartz is trending right now. Browse through one of many countertop showrooms in the area, to see a mind boggling display of different colors, grains and designs. Another countertop trend is cement. The process for creating cement countertops is lengthy and expensive, but many new builds and remodels are witnessing this trend in the kitchen. Also, how about a slab backsplash? It adds drama and interest in the same pattern as your countertop.

White walls in a kitchen will probably always be in style. Add a pop of color in unexpected places, like appliances, hoods, seating, and tiled backsplashes. n Walls When it comes to wall paint, warmer toned palettes are very much in style; cooler tones have waned for now. Whether it’s in paint colors, natural materials, or textile choices, cool tones are out in favor of warmth and saturatedGcolor. Use warm G white, all

shades of blues and grey, and charcoal—the lighter the better. When you have lots of millwork, coating the walls, ceiling, and trim all in the same shade makes the room feel chic and enveloping. Then, add touches of rich accent colors, particularly pink, orange, and grassy greens. The current trend is to keep your walls and furniture neutral and put your color in accessories, window treatments, rugs, pillows, and art. Also, painting an interior door in a rich color adds warmth and character to the space.

Wallpaper is trending up! But wallpaper can be expensive— especially in textures and screen prints. Use them in smaller spaces, such as the powder room or foyer. Textured wallpapers are great accents and add strength to a room. In larger rooms, use them on accent walls. Accent walls are big for 2020. Besides wallpaper, you can use wood, paint, or organic fabrics.

And don’t forget that fifth wall—the ceiling! Popcorn ceilings are being scraped from homes built in the 1980s as you read this!

Wood, wallpaper, and paint cover today’s ceilings.

In home exteriors, light, warm colors are also trending. Warm

whites, grey, and beige are especially popular. Painted brick and lime-washed brick (which lets the brick texture come through) are very popular. n Furniture

Contemporary farmhouse style is still a trend. For now, it is all about mixing textures. You can use anything from shaker to craftsmen to farmhouse in tables. Cane chairs are very popular. Rattan, jute and sisal are still trending.

Built-ins are very popular. Carpentry work is essential here.

Built-in bookshelves, closets, cabinetry, and seating are trending up. n Galleries Gallery walls are still in vogue. Gallery walls are interesting and tell a story. They can tell the story of your family, your travels, and your very favorite things. Mix old with new—pictures, artwork, clocks, baskets, masks, architectural pieces—anything you love! i

Light Up Your Home–Inside and Out!

W

hether your desire is to add drama to a piece of artwork or merely see better in a particular room, lighting is a quick way to update and change a total space in your home. Something as inexpensive as a dimmer can alter the atmosphere and appearance of a room—or the entire house—just by adjusting a switch. Another lighting trick to change the look of a room that is also energy efficient is to replace incandescent bulbs with fluorescent bulbs or LED.

When remodeling your home’s lighting, survey its ambient (overall illumination), task, and accent lighting sources.

Ambient lighting provides an area’s overall illumination and is accomplished with chandeliers, ceiling or wall-mounted fixtures, recessed or track lights, and lanterns. Task and accent lighting includes sconces, smaller pendants, desk, and table lamps.

You will find all these types of lighting fixtures in many finishes, ranging from traditional to contemporary collections, as well as new baffles and trims for remodeling recessed 68

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

lighting. Energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs, LED technology, and Energy Star certified lighting products are all available.

Thanks to a mild climate, homeowners in this area can enjoy a lot of time in their outdoor living spaces. Thanks, as well, to modernized exterior lighting that is both functional and attractive, outdoor enjoyment no longer has to end when the sun sets.

Simple, low-voltage lighting at entry points and specimen trees and in seating areas add nighttime illumination to your home. Simply adding a decorative street lamp or a light fixture to a front door porch can warm up the look of your home and step up your curb appeal.

As with interior lighting, modern exterior lighting fixtures come in a variety of architectural styles and finishes and are energy efficient. So, when you update your home’s lighting, you are not only adding flair, but you are helping to save the planet—one light bulb at a time.

Do You Have Curb Appeal?

hat is curb appeal? Real estate experts say it is the not so easily defined sum of landscaping, architecture, decorative elements, color, and other features that make a home attractive at first glance—or from the curb. Many times homeowners only think of curb appeal when they are trying to sell their house; but curb appeal is something all homeowners can find joy in achieving. To get a handle on curb appeal, walk down to the end of your driveway or across the street to a neighbor’s to get a good view of your house and its surroundings—and take some notes.

Once you have the big picture, here are some ways to boost your home’s curb appeal.

70

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

n Spruce Up the Grounds It may sound too simple, but the first thing you should do to increase curb appeal is clean up. This might take a weekend or two, or you may want to hire a landscaping professional. Either way, cleaning up has an immediate effect on curb appeal.

Clear the gutters. Pressure spray to kill mold and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof, and driveway. Remove dead or dying plants. Weed beds and freshen or replace pine straw or other mulch material. Prune tree branches and shrubs, trimming those that are around the house so that doors and windows are not hidden.

Sometimes adding elements to landscaping can improve curb appeal, but

many times removing something is even more effective. If a shrub has grown so large that it hides columns or windows or is taller than the roofline, it may be better to remove the plant altogether. Large azaleas and other shrubs can swallow smaller homes. Replace these with smaller shrubs, and the house will look taller.

Diseased or overgrown trees must go. Also, think about thinning tall, gangly pines that block light, stunting the growth of surrounding grass, shrubs, and flowers. Trees and tree limbs that have grown too close to a house can be dangerous. It can also be a dangerous job to remove them on your own.

It is always smart to hire a professional tree service to remove trees.

n Love Your Lawn

Everyone loves a green lawn. Excessive heat and lack of rain can take a toll, but there are things you can do to make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood. First, keep it mowed and weeded. Edge the walkways and flowerbeds to create smooth, sweeping lines. If your lawn needs some help, lay sod. Do a soil analysis to see what type of fertilizer care your lawn needs. n Plant Annuals for Color Annuals are the best plants possible for adding color to a landscape. Walk around your yard and decide where to plant flowerbeds. Think about color combinations you like. Nursery professionals can help you select the best plants for sunny or shady locations. You can also get expertise on how to prepare beds and what type of fertilizer and mulch to use.

n Add Some Character Besides increasing curb appeal, you can add a little character to your front porch by painting the door red or the ceiling blue, hanging a porch swing, or putting up some new house numbers. Add some flowering pots, hanging baskets, or lanterns. Put a springtime wreathe on the door or add some window flower boxes. Character-adding ideas are fun and are only limited by your imagination.

Now, it is time to walk across the street to get a good view of your home’s new curb appeal. Enjoy it, but you cannot rest on your laurels—curb appeal, like everything else worthwhile, requires regular attention.

COMMUNITY FOR CREATIVITY Building the Future in a Creative Economy

H

ow do you keep young people from moving away from a community? One way is to develop curriculums and classes that reflect the industry of the community. Fayette County Public Schools is doing just that with their Community for Creativity initiative, which prepares students for working in and becoming leaders of the area’s “creative economy.”

This unique, first-of-its-kind curriculum integrates the state’s booming film, television, and digital media industry with classroom learning across a range of disciplines.

A core tenet of the initiative is developing and supporting a student’s ability to create original ideas, concepts, and content. Generally, the aim of the program is to change the way students engage in the classroom, regardless of subject area, and is based on the belief that every student can create, developing new ideas to better themselves and the world around them.

74

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

Rising Starr Middle School (RSMS) piloted the first school-wide model in 2018, while Flat Rock Middle School (FRMS) came on board in fall 2019. Students from across Fayette County are invited to apply for the program with final selections currently made on a lottery basis.

Each Community for Creativity has a different focus area that is combined with the general curriculum; at RSMS, it is creative industries, and at FRMS, it is innovative sustainable communities. Students participating in Community for Creativity experience opportunities to create through arts integration and/or STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) activities. RSMS students explore creative industries with class offerings in music and recording, film and television, and art and design. FRMS students use design thinking principles to study renewable energy and power generation, transportation and mobility, urban and ecological

frameworks, and alternative gardening and food sourcing.

One critical component of the program is active engagement with industry professionals. Pinewood Atlanta Studios, the Woodruff Arts Center, MaltMaker Media, and the Stage Academy of Music have been partners at RSMS, while FRMS developed partnerships with Georgia Tech Research Institute, the American Council of Engineering Companies of Georgia, and local engineering and manufacturing firms.

For its effort in providing innovative learning opportunities for students, Fayette County Public Schools was one of the first recipients of the inaugural 2019 Leading Edge Award given by the Georgia School Boards Association. i

HIGHER EDUCATION Growing Opportunities

M

ore and more Coweta and Fayette students are recognizing the growing number of higher education opportunities available to them here at home.

The University of West Georgia’s Newnan campus offers undergraduate courses in fundamental core curriculum, two full undergraduate degree programs— Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and Bachelor of Science in Nursing—and select undergraduate business courses. Graduate programs include the MBA, Master’s Degrees in Early Childhood Education, and Specialist Degrees in Educational Leadership.

There is also Continuing Education/ Workforce Development programs and a Dual Enrollment program for high school students.

Clayton State University, a public university and part of the University System of Georgia, has a Fayette Campus

in Peachtree City that is home to the university’s Dual Enrollment (Move On When Ready) program, which offers high school students an opportunity to take college-level courses for credit. Students enrolled on this campus can complete their general education core curriculum courses as well as five degree programs: the BS in Psychology and Human Services; the BS in Integrative Studies; the BAS in Administrative Management; the RN to BSN online program; and the MBA degree program.

Georgia Film Academy (GFA) trains students for a career in Georgia’s growing film industry. GFA offers an 18-credit hour certification program specifically designed to provide students with a basic level of on-set film production skills and knowledge and experience with film-industry standard organizational structure, professional equipment, and on-set procedures. GFA courses are being

taught at Clayton State University and at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayetteville as well as a number of universities and technical colleges around the state.

Georgia Military College (GMC) has two campuses convenient to Fayette and Coweta students. The school’s 25,000-square-foot Fayetteville campus, located adjacent to Pinewood Atlanta Studios, offers the same coursework available at the other GMC campuses, but also is developing courses to educate the area workforce for the many positions available in Georgia’s film industry.

GMC’s second area campus, located in Fairburn, just 20 minutes from Newnan and Peachtree City, is the college’s largest campus in the Metro Atlanta area.

For a complete listing of higher education opportunities in Coweta and Fayette counties, see page 78. i

PUDDLE JUMPERS G

etting a good foundation is important to a life-long interest in learning. The Puddle Jumper program, a “mommy and me” program available to two and three year olds and offered through the Coweta County School System, intends to do just that. The goal of the Puddle Jumper program is to teach moms and dads skills that will help them learn to interact more effectively with their preschoolers, in turn, helping their preschoolers be better prepared for the early years of learning.

Each week the toddlers explore with large manipulative toys, especially created for preschoolers, and participate in a large group activity with songs and stories. They spend time in the Motor Skills Room where there are activities that the children do to build their large muscles, using various types of play equipment. The moms and dads interact with the children as they go from activity to activity. In 76

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

the Messy Play Room, the children work on their small muscles with activities, such as painting, and playing with sand or play dough.

Each week the parents and toddlers end with parachute activities and receive a take home bag that includes a book and an item that reinforces the learning focus of the day.

There are two series of classes for the toddlers. The first series is six weeks long and focuses on colors. The second series is four weeks long and focuses on basic shapes.

The Puddle Jumper program is a partnership between the Stepping Stones Early Intervention project and the Coweta County School System Title I program. The 1.5-hour classes are held at the Coweta County Parent Resource Center. Class sizes are limited.

Classes are held from August to May, and there is no charge. Call 770-254-1985 to enroll.

Receiving the award were several school board members and community partners including, left to right, front row, Mark Whitlock (CEO, Central Educational Center), Justin Haight (Manager, Skills Initiative, GermanAmerican Chamber of Commerce of Southern US), Beth barnett (Vice-Chair, Coweta County Board of Education), Sue Brown (Coweta County Board of Education); second row, Larry Alford (Area Manager Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute, Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership), Steve Cromer (Senior Director, Advanced Manufacturing, West Georgia Technical College), Winston Dowdell (Coweta County Board of Education), Amy Dees (Chairman, Coweta County Board of Education), Frank Farmer (Coweta County Board of Education) and Steve Barker (Coweta County Superintendent).

I

n Innovation is something for which Coweta and Fayette schools are k Innovation is something for which Coweta and Fayette schools are known. Recently, the Coweta County Board of Education was recognized for its innovation with a “Leading Edge” award from the Georgia School Board Association for the development of the German Apprenticeship Program in Coweta County.

Established in 2019, the Leading Edge Award recognizes school boards for local innovative school board leadership and “out of the box” practices by school districts.

According to GSBA, the Leading Edge Award is intended “to highlight school districts who are leading the way in ensuring students are competitive in an ever-changing global market.” The award recognizes innovative programs and practices begun by local boards of education.

Coweta County’s German Apprenticeship Program formally began in 2016, when several Coweta County manufacturers signed agreements with 10 high school sophomores to launch the first German-style apprenticeship program cohort. The program allows students to begin their apprenticeships in 10th grade with a combination of traditional high school G

classes, college-level manufacturing courses, and apprenticeship modules that pay them an hourly wage and earn them credit toward high school graduation, technical college graduation, and international certification.

By the 12th grade, students in the program spend the majority of their time learning at the manufacturing site while earning a higher hourly wage. The program saw its first Coweta graduates in 2019. The current 3-year cohort of local apprentices working under the model includes 23 students working with 7 local manufacturers.

Local partners for the program include the Coweta County School System and Board of Education, the Central Educational Center and its Board, West Georgia Technical College, the German American Chamber of Commerce and its Georgia Consortium for Advanced Technical Training (GA CATT), Georgia Tech’s Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership, local manufacturers (including German, American, Canadian, and Japanese businesses) and other state and local educational and business partners.

The Coweta/Georgia GA CATT was recently named as one of the 11 best practices in the world by the organization that oversees German apprenticeship worldwide.

CHAMBER NEWS

Newnan-Coweta Chamber

It’s Time to Dream Big

Nearly 20 years ago, a group of community leaders coordinated Vision 2020, a strategic initiative for Coweta County’s economic and community development. The plan launched in 1999 in hopes of creating a “preferred Coweta” by the year 2020. Now that the target is upon us, the Chamber endeavors to initiate a new conversation to drill down and refocus, while analyzing community impact and identifying touchpoints for benchmarking progress.

In 2019, a steering committee comprised of local business

leaders and Chamber executive staff initiated the first biannual Intercommunity Leadership visit, designed to glean valuable information from municipalities similar to those in Coweta County.

The November visit brought over 35 community stakeholders, business and industry representatives, and county/municipal leaders to Greenville, SC, a 40-year rejuvenation resulting in a vibrant community that embraces nature, celebrates art and provides solid foundations for education and business while encouraging fellowship as a livable and walkable community.

One key takeaway is evident. We’re ahead of the game.

Coweta County brims with thriving businesses, as well as local gems and innovations, such as the Central Educational Center, the Carnegie Library, ample healthcare assets, and thriving Main Street communities.

But, if you’re not moving forward, you’re standing still or, worse yet, you’re regressing. And it’s time to DREAM BIG.

“The universal arc of an organization or community is defined by transformation. The way to prevent any organization or community’s arc from falling is simple—through constant innovation,” explains Candace Boothby, President and CEO of the Newnan-Coweta Chamber.

Coweta’s next phase promises to be multi-layered and efficient.

“We must continuously prepare the groundwork for the environment we seek,” says Boothby. “Our relationships and partnerships with elected officials and municipal leaders must be meaningful because community development succeeds best through collaborations. It works better if we are many…together.”

The State of Fayette Chamber Looking back at 2019, the Fayette Chamber had a successful year. I was grateful to complete my first full year in this role and I was deeply humbled by the support I received from our members our Board of Directors, and the community at large.

We kicked off the year with the second half of the #100MembersIn100Days social media campaign. As part of my efforts to get to know our members and learn about the business needs of the community, I visited 100 members of the Chamber and posted about the visit on social media. That was a great deal of fun.

We focused on advocacy and government relations throughout the year. In February, we took a group to Atlanta for Fayette Day at the Capitol, where we got to meet and hear from state officials

Business whose decisions impact our county. In April, Gov. Kemp was the guest speaker at the Pancakes & Policy. We also had opportunities to hear from Congressman Drew Ferguson, our State Legislative Delegation, and local elected officials at various events throughout the year.

We also hosted the first Diversity & Inclusion Summit, with the theme of “Business Beyond Race.” We hear from a wide variety of speakers on how the practice of doing business together can bridge gaps and create prosperity for all of us.

Perhaps the most important work we did was through our Talent Attraction & Retention Task Force. A group of volunteers worked throughout the summer and fall to find ways to address the most pressing issue facing Fayette County: how to help current and future businesses have an adequate quality and quantity of employees.

We are excited about our plans for 2020. Here is just an overview of what we will do: •Four summits – substantive topics to address the issues facing Fayette County •Civic Leadership Summit •Regional Economic Outlook •Diversity & Inclusion •Future Workforce Summit •Five signature events: •Annual celebration •Business on the Green •Bray Elected Officials Appreciation Dinner •Community & Business Expo We are also excited to announce that we will hold a monthly meeting of the Fayette Chamber at our B2B Breakfasts. At these breakfasts, we will hear from regional leaders, successful businesspeople, elected officials, and other influencers who will help our members succeed.

Our daily focus is to make Fayette County a great place to live, work, play, gather, and shop. We have a great foundation to build from and, working together, we will continue to be the premier community to Create Your Story. i

REEL Growth in Business

ctors, directors, crew members—the film and television industry puts a lot of people to work in Georgia. According to the Motion Picture Association of America, by 2019, the Georgia film and TV industry had created more than 92,000 jobs, paying close to $4.6 billion in wages.

But it does not stop there. The film industry depends on specialized support from a number of businesses. Since 2010, hundreds of businesses supporting the industry have started up or relocated to Georgia. Numerous other businesses already here have seen exponential growth, resulting from the rise of the film industry. In

the 2018 fiscal year ending June 30, Georgia hosted a record 455 projects that had a $9.5 billion economic impact on the state according to state economic studies.

With three major studios in the area, Coweta and Fayette county businesses have reaped a portion of that growth. Pinewood Atlanta Studios Production Centre, across the road from the studio itself, houses about 50 businesses working directly with the film and television community. For instance, the locally owned C & S Film Concierge offers “southern hospitality” to stars, crew, and productions. Hanna Brothers Catering does production catering and operates The Studio

Cafe, which is open to the public. Movie Cars Unlimited specializes in finding all kinds of vehicles for local productions.

Around the two counties, there are specialized service businesses, such as production equipment rental, casting, props and design, construction, video production, and crewing, as well as a host of new businesses or businesses that have expanded in order to serve the day-today needs of area productions, including healthcare, postal and delivery, on-set catering and craft services, and travel.

Surely, the number of new hotels, restaurants, and retail stores that have opened in the area reflect the amount of new people coming to live or to work temporarily on productions. Some restaurants in the area welcome the film and television industry by hanging posters and other paraphernalia from locally made shows.

Go over to Senoia in Coweta County and you will find a Main Street thriving with tourism. Shopping, dining, and touring businesses have opened mainly due to the growth of tourism in the town thanks to The Walking Dead and other movie and television productions that film in the area.

Yes, the film industry is bringing its brand of growth to the area—how much and for how long remains to be seen. i

THEY RUN THIS TOWN!

n a town with over 100 miles of multi-use path, you would expect a strong and active running club. The Peachtree City Running Club does not disappoint. Founded in 1981, PTCRC has grown to be the second largest running club in the Metro Atlanta area with members from all over metropolitan Atlanta, including Fayette, Coweta, Henry, Fulton, and Spalding counties as well as the neighboring states of Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

Runners, walkers, plodders, shufflers, and joggers of all paces—all are welcome to participate in the club. Weekly runs organized by the club are open to the public. The Saturday Morning Fun Run is a 10K/5K run and walk. The Sunday Morning Distance Run is for marathoners and distance runners (8 miles up to 20+). The Sunday Morning Boat Docks Run is a shorter distance option (a 5-mile loop) that starts at the Battery Way Boat Dock.

One of the club’s most anticipated events is the annual Peachtree City Classic Road Race. This year’s event on October 84

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

17 will be its 40th Anniversary. Club organizers are working on special features for the celebration and expect 1,500-2,000 participants between the three races: a women’s 5K, a men’s 5K, and an open 15K. Since 2005, the running club has been partnering with the Peachtree City Rotary Club to sponsor the Grand Prix Series—a series of running events that take place each school year at Fayette County elementary schools. These 5K races and 1-mile runs/walks are huge fundraisers for the schools as well as a fun way for families to get out and exercise together.

The running club also partners with American Legion Post 50 in May for the annual All-American 5K run/walk and 10K run. Proceeds support Post 50’s Veteran and Youth programs.

The PTCRC offers members a mile award incentive program; a summer track series with weekly meets and a championship series; and social activities throughout the year.

For more information about becoming a member of the PTCRC, visit ptcrc.com.

Fitness & Health A NETWORK OF SUPPORT FOR WOMEN AND THEIR HEARTS

ighty percent of all cardiac events can be prevented by lifestyle changes and education. The goal of Piedmont Healthcare’s Women’s Heart Support Network, which is offered at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital, Piedmont Fayette, and Piedmont Newnan, is to help women connect with health professionals and make the changes in their lives to prevent heart disease.

“According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the number one killer of women, causing one in three women’s deaths each year,” said Bukola Olubi, a cardiologist with Piedmont Heart Institute. “When you realize that 90 percent of all women have one or more risk factors for heart disease, you see the scope of the problem and know that something has to be done.”

Risk factors for heart disease include family history, high cholesterol and blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, weight and physical inactivity.

The Dottie Fuqua Women’s Heart Support Network launched first at Piedmont Atlanta. Fayetteville resident Vicki Turner made a generous donation to the Piedmont Healthcare Foundation to bring the Women’s Heart Support Network to Fayette County in 2018 and now, thanks to a grant from Cigna, the program will expand in Fayette and Coweta counties with classes and programs offered at Piedmont Newnan as well.

The Women’s Heart Support Network focuses on prevention, clinical care, and

support to reduce heart disease among women and promote long-term heart health and wellness. The program is focused on three key concepts: proper nutrition and diet, mind and body wellness, and movement.

These concepts form the basis of programs and classes each month. Topics of recent classes included aromatherapy, cooking workshops, and developing strategies to reduce clutter and live a simpler life. Yoga and meditation classes are both offered regularly.

Avril James is the program coordinator for The Women’s Heart Support Network in Fayette and Coweta which aims to unite women and build a strong and supportive community.

“A study published in the American Journal of Cardiology stated that 25 percent of women are embarrassed to seek treatment for cardiovascular disease because they feel they will be chided for behavior-related risk factors,” said James. “Our goal is to get women of all ages thinking about what they can do to positively impact their heart health and to start taking action immediately.”

One way to take action is to have a screening at one of the Piedmont Heart Institute locations. The $100 screening includes a physical exam, lab work and complete health history. Participants also receive a comprehensive heart health report they can take home with detailed recommendations and next steps.

“Women must begin to take care of themselves as well as they take care of others. That includes making time for exercise, getting regular medical checkups and eating right,” said Dr. Olubi. “My hope is that The Women’s Heart Support Network continues to act as a catalyst for women to adopt healthier lifestyles and prevent heart disease before it is diagnosed.”

THE RISE OF PICKLEBALL P

ickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in America— especially with seniors. A combination of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, pickleball can be played in singles or doubles with a paddle and a whiffle ball on a badminton-sized (20’ x 44’) court.

The game was invented in the summer of 1965 by three dads with bored kids. One dad had a badminton court on his property. With some cheap wooden paddles and a whiffle ball they borrowed from a neighbor, the men created the game. As the summer continued, they modified the rules and equipment coming up with a more polished version. Today, about three million people play pickleball in the United States. There are more than 4,000 locations to play in the country as well as competitions all over the nation.

The last several years has seen the rise of pickleball in Fayette and Coweta counties. Numerous recreational facilities in the area began to create pickleball courts and promote play on a scheduled basis. In 2015, what is now the Peachtree City-Fayette Pickleball Association, Inc. was first established.

So why is pickleball so popular among seniors? First of all, it is easy to play. Courts are smaller than tennis courts—so less ground to cover. Paddles have a large, sweet spot which makes the ball fairly easy to hit. Pickleball can help improve all aspects of a senior’s life, including cognitive functioning, physical strength, and 90

the coweta-fayette guide 2020

social interaction. Pickleball is relatively inexpensive to play. You can buy a good paddle for less than $20 and a six-pack of balls for $8.

Pickleball is a fun game that all ages can play; so if you are a senior, you can play right along with your grandchildren.

For seniors living in Fayette and Coweta counties, there are numerous public and private facilities where you can play pickleball.

In Peachtree City, there are pickleball courts at Braelinn Golf Club, Cresswind Community, Flat Creek Country Club, Glenloch Recreation Area, Kedron Fieldhouse, Pebblepocket Park, and The Bridge Community Center. There are courts at Kiwanis Park in Fayetteville. In Newan, Coweta County Recreation Center, White Oak Golf Club, and Summit Family YMCA have courts. You will find under-used tennis courts being converted into pickleball courts and local governments considering large pickleball court facilities. Yes, pickleball is on the rise.

Most importantly, however—how did pickleball get its name?

Well, there are two official but very different stories repeated over the years by the founders of pickleball—one is about a dog and the other is about a boat—but that’s a topic for a whole other story. Find out more at ptcpickleballclub.com. i

SENIOR LIVING IS ACTIVE, CARING LIVING S

eniors in Coweta and Fayette counties have a full calendar of things to do. Our local area has numerous golf courses, gyms, parks, concert venues, and events for seniors to enjoy, but there also are a number of facilities dedicated to the entertainment and enjoyment of senior citizens.

Four senior centers in Coweta County—the East Coweta Senior Center in Senoia, the Panther Creek Senior Center in Sargent, the Tommy Thompson Senior Center, and the Welcome Community Senior Center in Newnan—offer a variety of recreational activities

and services to all senior citizens aged 50 and older. Members meet monthly for music, games, arts and crafts, and classes. Birthdays and holidays are celebrated with parties and covered dish luncheons.

Members organize to make cards for troops overseas and knit baby hats for Piedmont Hospital in Newnan. There is often musical entertainment and informational speakers. The centers even make blood pressure checks available to seniors. Homebound seniors can take advantage of the organization’s Meals on Wheels program, which works out of the Tommy Thompson Senior Center in Newnan.

Senior Living Coweta County also sponsors a Spring Cookout and Christmas luncheon every year at the Coweta County Fairgrounds and Conference Center for Coweta senior citizens. Programs are funded by the Coweta County Commission.

Founded in 1978, the Fayette Senior Services (FSS) offers a broad scope of life-enhancing services to Fayette County residents aged 50 and up at three different activity centers—The Gathering Place and McIntosh Place in Peachtree City and the largest center, the Life Enrichment Center in Fayetteville. The Life Enrichment Center houses a fitness center, complete with equipment and classes and the Ultimate Cafe, which serves breakfasts and lunches. Membership in FSS provides many benefits, like a calendar filled with events and activities. There are scheduled club meetings, workshops, trivia games, movies, fitness classes, support groups, a travel group that takes day and overnight trips, and so much more.

The organization also provides social services that help older adults maintain their independence and improve their quality of life, including Meals on Wheels, in-home personal care and homemaker services, non-emergency transportation, home repair, adult day care referral service, information and assistance service, and care management. These specific services are funded in part by federal, state, and local government and the United Way.

In both counties, there are numerous gyms, like World Gym in Peachtree City, that offer Silver Sneakers classes for seniors. Summit Family YMCA in Newnan has Active Older Adults (AOA) programs for Seniors. Through group exercise classes and aquatic programs that concentrate on mobility and flexibility, dance classes, social events, and volunteer activities, the YMCA brings Seniors together for camaraderie, fellowship, and fun. i

A Better Way

Learning a Trade for a Better Life

Better Way founder John Barrow likes to say, “Give a man a fish, you feed him for the day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” With those words in mind, Barrow and his organization recently launched a trade school for men in A Better Way ministry to learn skills in tile, terrazzo, and masonry.

A Better Way Ministries is a place of refuge for men, ages 17 - 55, struggling with life controlling issues, such as drug and alcohol addictions. Barrow says that A Better Way Ministries is not simply a rehab facility, but a discipleship program that is “passionate about guiding students

to become fully transformed men of God, leaving destructive life patterns behind.”

Men live, work, and study alongside others for a period of 18 months to complete the life changing program.

When the men in the ministry reach around 90 days in the program, they go into the workforce. A Better Way employs the men in its program in numerous services that support the ministry’s efforts and are beneficial to the community. This could be working with A Better Way’s moving company, table company, thrift store, or on the organization’s campus. Barrow, who has a background in masonry, understands

how important it is to have a trade in this economy. Self-employed tile and terrazzo craftsman Eddie Hayes has been guiding and coaching the men to create a professional finish on all their projects, which include showers and counter tops. Daltile Sales Service Center - Atlanta South has donated thousands of tiles to help with the process.

Landmark Christian School Students Volunteer at Christian City

Photos by Larry Regier.

high school students along with their advisory leaders from Landmark Christian School came out to Christian City to serve as volunteers during the school’s second annual Serve Day, a day set aside for Landmark students and faculty to put their faith in action by serving in and around the local community. The 2019 theme was “Go, Serve, Love” and Christian City was one of several volunteer service locations for Landmark students.

“We greatly appreciate the volunteer service provided by the Landmark students,” said Janetta Knighton, Christian City’s volunteer coordinator. “As a non-profit serving children in crisis and senior adults, we depend on the community for support,”

she said. The Landmark students formed small groups and spread across the 500acre Christian City campus to serve during the 2019 Landmark Serve Day. Some of the volunteers served at Graceland Thrift Store by sorting donated items and helping with customer service inside the store. A cleaning crew headed over to the Children’s Village Residential Program. While some of the students set up a car wash to clean the house parents’ vans, others cleaned the covered pavilion and gym used by children living at Christian City. Some of the Landmark students helped decorate the recreation center for a special event while other volunteers led a praise and worship service for senior residents in the auditorium.

“Whether they are serving individually or within a group, all volunteers are vital to our ministries. We welcome all to help us help our children and seniors,” said Knighton.
