East Cobb Park Garden Club
The East Cobb Park Garden Club is meeting Saturday morning.

What was initially planned as another in a series of Hyde Farm Walking Tours has been expanded into a full-fledged outing for the whole family.

Cobb Commissioner Jerica Richardson has organized what’s called Cobb Family Day from 9-12:30 p.m. Saturday at Hyde Farm (721 Hyde Road) that includes a Cobb PARKS fishing rodeo.

The walking tours will take place at 10 and 11, and other activities include “Touch a Truck” with the Cobb Fire Department, cooking demonstrations from the UGA Extension Office, a “Story Walk” with Cobb Libraries and a  scavenger hunt.

Everything but the fishing rodeo is free, which has a $5 charge, and you’ll need to sign up. The event is for youths 3-16, and trophies will be awarded for the biggest fish caught.

Also on Saturday morning, the newly formed East Cobb Park Garden Club is getting together for another outing from 10-11:30 a.m. as they tackle beautification efforts.

They’ll start out at the gazebo overlooking the back quad of the park, and are accepting new volunteers and donations.

The group was started by the Friends for the East Cobb Park volunteers organization.
