From our calendar listings are some weekend events that will bring the month of April (and some predicted last-dash showers) to a close:
Saturday is expected to be warm and sunny all day, perfect for disposing of unwanted items at the Pope Band Recycling Day. Come by the Northeast Cobb YMCA (3010 Johnson Ferry Road) between 9-2 with your items (list of what’s accepted and not); cost is $10 per vehicle and extra disposal fees may apply for some items.
More plant sales are continuing, this Saturday near the Marietta Square. The Root House Plant Sale offers vintage and native Georgia plants for sale from 9-1 at the William Root House Museum and Garden (80 N. Marietta Parkway).
Bring your appetites and wear some good walking shoes all day Sunday at the Marietta Square, the venue once again for the 28th Taste of Marietta. It bills itself as the largest food festival in metro Atlanta, and from 11-7 you can nosh and enjoy live music, entertainment, kids’ fun and more.
The East Cobb restaurants on hand will be Alumni Cookie Dough, Jacobs Java Cafe, Smokehouse Q and The Freakin’ Incan. (Some of them will also be at The Taste of East Cobb next Saturday, and which East Cobb News is thrilled be involved in as a gold sponsor.)
There’s rain in the forecast on Sunday, when Music in the Park returns to East Cobb Park (3322 Roswell Road) from 4-6 p.m. If the weather cooperates, you’ll hear the cover tunes of the Loose Shoes Band, with a playlist ranging from classic rock, blues, pop and Motown to country music. Bring some food and blankets/chairs to the concert stage and dance away the rain.
