Main Street News: May 9th

May is a month full of celebrations: Cinque de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Syttende Mai, graduations, class field trips and parties and Memorial Day. Throw in a wedding or birthday and the calendar is full! Then your few free evenings are filled with the usual community or work meetings and tasks at home. Maybe you can try to squeeze in a little time for basketball games in the driveway, throwing the baseball around or an evening walk.  Spring has always been my favorite time of year and being out in the sunshine is just a part of why that is. Many of you in Barnesville have shown evidence of the same. Gardening is on the list of springtime favorites for a number of you and seeing folks outside working in their yards gets us excited for our upcoming Yard of the Week recognition to start in June! With so much going on, a variety of gatherings and food, it is no wonder why this month always seems to fly by!



Just as Spring is upon us, we all know that the month will go quickly and before you know it we are into Summer! While you are planning that calendar of events don’t forget two fun-filled opportunities to gather with your friends and neighbors right here in Barnesville.  The Main Street Program will be hosting the 16th Annual Golf Tournament on June 14th at Willow Creek Golf Course.  It is a time for golfers and non-golfers alike to connect on the links and enjoy a little well-deserved R&R too.  A month later, the Evening at Blue Eagle Community Picnic will be held on July 28th.  This brings together everyone in town for a good, old-fashioned picnic gathering.  We will also be crowing our 78th Miss Barnesville as well! Plan to help us celebrate good food, good friends and a good community in Barnesville! Committees are hard at work preparing for these two events for you to enjoy.  If you are interested in golfing or would like to help at the picnic, give our office a call.  Be watching for more specific information coming soon.  I invite you to take advantage of attending these events and be proud of your community.
