There’s a bit more fall in the air as a variety of seasonal events take place in East Cobb and beyond, and the weather should be perfect for the outdoor activities that are on tap:
Early on Saturday is the fall Powers Ferry Corridor Alliance Adopt-A-Mile Cleanup. It gets underway at 8:30 a.m. at the Kroger Fuel parking lot, 1310 Powers Ferry Road, and volunteers will be working in that area in conjunction with Keep Cobb Beautiful.
All supplies and safety equipment will be provided; all you need to do is click here to sign up.
The monthly gathering of the East Cobb Park Garden Club takes place from 10-12 as work continues on Sunny’s Butterfly Garden (our previous story here). They’re looking for volunteers and all you have to do is show up if you’re interested.
Get your oompa on all day Saturday at the 13th rendition of Oktoberfest at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church (2922 Sandy Plains Road), from 10-6.
It’s the church’s annual festival of German heritage and culture, featuring German food, a live polka band, craft fair, horseshoe tournament, and a kid’s area with bounce houses, face painting and more.
Bring canned food for MUST Ministries food pantry in place of an entrance fee: $7 or seven cans for each adult, $3 or three cans for each child or $20 for twenty cans for a family.
You can park at the U.S. Post Office after 1 p.m.
A bit off-calendar and just outside our coverage area: the Cobb Truck-A-Palooza Saturday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Town Center at Cobb (400 Ernest W Barrett Parkway).
There will be fire engines to police motorcycles for kids and adults, and all proceeds from Truck-A-Palooza will benefit the Cobb County Safety Village.
