Creativity flows at Old Vinings Inn on Saturday, July 26 when the restaurant features the works of artist Victoria Disalvo. From 6-8 p.m., guests can enjoy light appetizers and a specialty cocktail feature while viewing Disalvo's paintings. Disalvo won her first blue ribbon in an art show when she was just five years old and went on to show and sell her work in Atlanta, Memphis (where she currently resides) and other destinations in the mid-South.

Come 5 p.m. on July 27, the band starts strumming at Milton's Cuisine & Cocktails, marking the transition from a lazy summer afternoon to a rockin'BBQ & Blues Sundays evening in historic Crabapple. Pile in the car and cruise over for a night of cornhole, craft brews and cocktails, chicken, ribs and oh-so-Southern sides by chef Derek Dollar. There'll be no highfalutin airs here as you say howdy to new friends who also are wearing 'cue sauce on their chins. Milton's plans one of these big gatherings each month during the warm weather season -- two more follow on August 24 and September 28. Please let them know you're coming: 770-817-0161.
