Sandy Plains Baseball Association

The rain is gone and we’ll be splashed with plenty of sunshine (albeit with cooler temperatures) during the first weekend in March. Fittingly enough, it’s also the official start of the season for two local youth baseball organizations. More below about those, and other East Cobb weekend events:

  • Run With a Longhorn 5K: The first-ever race is a fundraiser for the Kell High School band, and it gets underway at 8 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot of the school (4770 Lee Waters Road). After you stretch your legs, enjoy food, vendors and fellow members of Longhorn Nation. Walk-up registration is $35;
  • East Side Baseball Opening Day: Saturday morning should also be great weather for a parade, starting at 8:50 a.m., followed by food, raffle prizes (including a golf cart) and the first games of the season at Fullers Park (3499 Robinson Road);
  • Sandy Plains Baseball is also swinging into action Saturday, with festivities starting at noon at Sweat Mountain Park (4346 Steinhauer Road);
  • The Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road) continues its Murderino Movie series from 11-1 Saturday with “Reversal of Fortune,” about the notorious Sunny von Bülow case. Bring your own food and drink if you like to the black box theater, and get a pre-film presentation. Rated R, for adults only;
  • East Cobb Library (4880 Lower Roswell Road) is holding a Teen Tech Expo from 1-4 Saturday to kick off Teen Tech Week. The link contains other related events during the week at the East Cobb, Sewell Mill, Gritters and Mountain View branches if you can’t make the expo;
  • On Sunday, St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church (571 Holt Road) continues its free musical series with the Feiner Musicke Concert from 4-6. The husband and wife duo of tenor Mel Foster and harpist Ellen Heinecke Foster will perform inspirational music from the Art Song traditions of Europe and America.
