With fall (and even wintry!) weather this week comes a flurry of seasonal and Halloween-related events in East Cobb over the weekend.
One event that’s a very important exception is coming up Saturday morning. The Credit Union of Georgia (an East Cobb News sponsor) is holding a Community Shred Event from 9:30 a.m. to noon at its East Cobb branch (1020 Johnson Ferry Road). The objective is to reduce identity fraud, and members of the public can bring up to one carload of documents to be safely shredded.
Two local churches are inviting the public to their free fall festivals on Saturday. From 11-3, it’s the Unity North Church Fall Festival (4255 Sandy Plains Road), with games, inflatables, a bake sale, pumpkin carving and more.
Later on, Mt. Zion UMC (1770 Johnson Ferry Road) will be holding its annual Party in the Patch festival from 4:30-6:30. You can buy a pumpkin at their ongoing sale (which concludes on Halloween) and enjoy games, food, bouncy houses and more.
On Saturday night, what promises to be a new East Cobb Halloween tradition makes its debut. It’s the Mabry Middle Foundation’s Haunted House immersive Halloween experience featuring a professor being driven mad by his students, and promises payback. It takes place from 7-10 p.m. at Mabry Middle School (2700 Jims Road), and it’s a ticketed event to benefit the foundation’s work supporting the school’s academic programs and facilities improvements.
Other features include a pumpkin boutique where guests can purchase professionally decorated pumpkins, and a kids area designed specifically for younger guests.
On Sunday, Cobb Commissioner Jerica Richardson is holding another Family Fun Health Fair from 12-5 p.m. at the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road).
