Alpharetta Business Expo 8/29/13

Last Thursday I attended the first annual Alpharetta Business Expo at the Alpharetta Marriott on Windward Parkway.  As you can see by the pictures, it was a great event.   Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle gave an overview on where Alpharetta is going from city renovations to attracting more business to Alpharetta.

Johns Creek Farmer's Market & Veteran's Memorial Walk

If you are looking for something to do on a Saturday morning, look no further.   Visit the Johns Creek Farmer's Market at Newtown Park in Johns Creek, Georgia between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM.   Local farmers bring organic produce to the market each Saturday.   Wonderful vendors attend with sustainable food for you to purchase and enjoy.    

 

The Farmer's Market had wonderful music, food and produce.   My husband and I took in a leisurely walk and found some good buys.  Newtown Park was alive with dog walkers, tennis players, ball games and more.

Happy Fourth of July

I hope you are  all having a wonderful Fourth of July.   It is raining in Atlanta, but we managed to have the neighborhood bike parade, the Atlanta Peachtree Race went off smoothly, next we get to grill and go to fireworks.   Hopefully, we can work all this out between the rain drops.  

Here's a link to the blog about my neighborhood bike parade:

U.S.A. Flag Day - June 14th

Did you know that June 14th is Flag Day?  June 14, 1777 was the day the United States of America adopted the stars and stripes as its flag.   Do you know who Bernard J. Cigrand is?   On June 14th, 1885, Bernard J. Cigrand, a teacher at Stony Hill School, placed a 10 inch, 38- star flag in a bottle on his desk then assigned essays on the flag and its significance. Bernard's love and respect of the flag brought about what we as Americans celebrate as  Flag Day.  To learn more, click on this link:  http://www.nationalflagday.com/default.asp
