EAST COBB WEEKEND EVENTS: Walton Raider Chase; Lassiter Band fundraiser; library events and more

It’s supposed to be a bit soggy, but not enough to dampen a spirited weekend of events in East Cobb:

  • Tonight and Saturday are the final showings of “The Savannah Disputation” at The Art Place-Mountain View (3330 Sandy Plains Road), presented by CenterStage North and the Mountain View Arts Alliance. It’s a Southern theological comedy (there is such a thing!) involving two elderly sisters and a door-to-door evangelist caught up in a crisis of faith. Tickets are $16 and the curtains lift at 8 p.m. both nights;
  • Also tonight, at the nearby Mountain View Regional Library (3320 Sandy Plains Road) historical novelists Lauren Willig and Deanna Raybourn will be discussing their books from 6:30-8 p.m. The event is free, and copies of their books will be sold and available for signing;
  • The 38th annual Walton Raider Chase 5K gets underway at 8 a.m. Saturday at Raider Valley (1590 Bill Murdock Road). The event is a fundraiser for the Walton track and cross country teams. A 1-mile fun run starts at 9:30 a.m., and walk-up registration is available for both races;
  • From 10-5 on Saturday, the Lassiter High School Band is holding a mattress sale fundraiser for its 2019 trip to the Tournament of Roses Parade in the band room (2601 Shallowford Road). Name-brand items will be sold at a discount, and you can arrange for delivery;
  • The enticing aromas of Essential Oils will discussed and diffused during a special presentation from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the East Cobb Library (4880 Lower Roswell Road). The guide is Heather Seeley of Young Living, who will demonstrate the health and cosmetic benefits of such substances. Registration is required by calling 770-509-2730;
  • Also on Saturday, a Local Lens film screening will take place from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road). Local filmmaker Bill Pacer will show “Meatfactory,” a music video, and take questions after.
