Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.   I get to see my Mama and my Grandmother on Sunday and I'm so excited!!!   Don't forget that a big portion of Chamblee-Dunwoody Road will be closed this weekend for the Dunwoody Arts Festival so you'll want to keep that in mind and think of alternate routes to get around town.   Don't forget today is the last day for Atlanta Colt Football early registration (cheaper fee).  Finally, we didn't agree with the American Idol decision.   The Aha! Connection would have sent Kree home and kept Angie.  Oh well....they are all so talented and I'm sure we'll see Angie again!

Please keep the submissions for community news, and events coming. We'll have more to share next week!  Stay dry!

Dunwoody Arts Festival

DunwoodyStreetFestivalFIN 

A Mother's Day tradition in the City of Dunwoody, the crowd-pleasing Dunwoody Art Festival will celebrate its fourth dazzling show on May 11 and 12, 2013.

Saturday:  10-6
Sunday:  12:30-5

In its second season, Dunwoody Art Festival drew a remarkable crowd of more than 70,000 happy grandmothers, moms, children, and of course, lots of dads too! The picturesque stretch of Chamblee Dunwoody Road across from Dunwoody Village transforms into a whimsical artist market, and the normally traffic-lined street becomes a shoppers' paradise. Bestowed the trophy for the "Best New Event of 2010" by the Southeast Festivals and Events Association, Dunwoody Art Festival continues to attract the top artisans from across the country. Along with the partnership of the Dunwoody Crier, incredible community volunteers and the Dunwoody Rotary Club, Dunwoody Art Festival is a must-see!

Along with the creative artist market, a fun-filled Kidz Zone awaits youngsters with great rides, sand art, imaginative crafts and games with the help from local favorite, the Purple Hippo Art Studio. A relaxing stage with continuous live music also offers festivalgoers a chance to unwind and relax before setting out again in search for that "gotta have it" piece of art. Dunwoody Art Festival also boasts a yummy food court with great eats from neighborhood restaurants, to that tasty funnel cake maker. There truly is something for everyone at Dunwoody Art Festival!
