On Friday morning, bring your questions about crime and public safety to Sterling Estates East Cobb (4220 Lower Roswell Road) and ask officers from Cobb Police Precinct 4. It’s the latest Coffee With a Cop, from 10 a.m. to noon, led by the department’s community affairs unit;

Kick off the weekend in relaxing, jazzy style Friday night at the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road) for the continuation of the Sewell Mill Summer Concert Series in the amphitheater. From 7-9:30 p.m. treat yourself to the sounds of Will Scruggs and the KSU Jazz Combo (above), in this free event sponsored by the Cobb Library Foundation;

The weekend is the finale for CenterStage North’s presentation of “On Golden Pond,” which has shows at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road). Tickets are $16 and must be purchased at the CSN box office, not by going to the facility;

Another Family Movie Night is on tap from 6:30-9 p.m. Friday at the Northeast Cobb YMCA (3010 Johnson Ferry Road), with “Coco” showing on the big screen. Admission is free for Y members and $5 for guests;

The high school sports season is already underway, and it shifts into full gear on Friday with the start of football season.

Also on Friday is a special sporting event at Pope High School, whose football season starts next week. Ex-Greyhound softball star Kelly Barnhill, a college standout at the University of Florida and member of the USA team that just qualified for the Olympics, will return to throw out the first pitch against Sequoyah and sign autographs. The game starts at 6 at the Pope softball complex (3001 Hembree Road), and admission is free;

More sporting fun on Saturday, for kids 3-16: The Cobb Parks Fishing Rodeo takes place from 9-12 at Hyde Farm (726 Hyde Road), with prizes in various age groups. It’s free to cast your line in the water, but you’ll need to bring your own poles and gear.

On Sunday afternoon, hear the inspiring story of a family’s service dog from Roswell author Donnie Winokur. She’s the author of “Chancer,” the Golden retriever who served as a companion to her adopted son, who’s afflicted by fetal alcohol syndrome. She’ll be discussing the story, doing a demonstration and signing books from 3-5 at Georgia Veterinary Rehabilitation & Pain Management (230 Johnson Ferry Place).
