We’re revamping our calendar format, so please bear with us. The listings you’re used to seeing are undergoing some changes, but we wanted to let you know about a few events going on in East Cobb this weekend, especially as another school year is underway.
If you want to unload some clutter to help a good cause, Saturday’s the day to drop off items at the Pope Band Recycling Day. It’s from 9-4 at the school (3001 Hembree Road) and the basic donation is $10 per vehicle. Recyclable metals, electronics, paper and other goods are accepted; there’s a detailed listing of what you can bring and what’s not allowed at the link, and additional fees apply for some items.
From 10-2 on Saturday, you can swing by Honest-1 Auto Care (1391 East Cobb Drive) for food, games and more at its Family Fun Day that helps out United Military Care’s work with veterans. The non-profit has a Buddy Partner program that sends out volunteers to stay connected to isolated veterans, and those needing other assistance.
High school football is only a few weeks away, and two of East Cobb’s top teams are squaring off at 10 a.m. in a scrimmage. Walton visits Kell (4770 Lee Waters Road), and they’re both getting an early start to the season in other ways too, as participants once again in the Corky Kell Classic on Aug. 24 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
A late summer production of Center Stage North begins Friday and continues this weekend and through next weekend at The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road). In “Sylvia,” an empty nest couple moves to Manhattan from the suburbs, and their marriage is on the rocks after the adoption a Lab-poodle mix found on the streets. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, as well as 8 p.m. next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Ticket info and ordering is here; they’re not sold at The Art Place.
