We’ve just started the last full week before the start of another school year in Cobb County, but it’s going to feel like the hot summer it still is.
On Tuesday voters go to the polls in runoff elections to determine nominees for governor, lieutenant governor, 6th District Congress and more. The polls are open from 7-7.
From 5-7 Tuesday, the Road Runner Sports store at Merchants Walk (1311 Johnson Ferry Road) is holding a Strut Your Mutt event to benefit the East Cobb-based Good Mews Animal Foundation, with refreshments, a raffle, discounts and vendor giveaways.
On Wednesday, a pain relief meditation session takes place at the East Cobb Library (4880 Lower Roswell Road), and patrons (ages 18+ only) will learn how to tap into the mind/body connection and how to use it in pain management. You’ll need to register first by calling the library information desk at 770-509-2730.
On Wednesday night, after many town hall meetings and public hearings, the Cobb Board of Commissioners is set to adopt the 2018 millage rate and FY 2019 budget. Here’s a roundup of our coverage; the meeting starts at 7 in the 2nd floor board room of the Cobb government building, 100 Cherokee St., in downtown Marietta.
A couple of other big-screen events to round out our early-midweek lineup: The Classic Movie Thursdays screening from 2-4 at the Sewell Mill Library (2051 Lower Roswell Road) is “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” directed by Stephen Spielberg, and you can bring your own food and drink.
From 8-10 Thursday is a showing of the Disney/Pixar hit “Coco” at The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road), as part of its Summer Concert Series. Pre-movie festivities begin at 7 p.m., with games, music, and arts and crafts. Food will be available for purchase, and you can also your own food.
