East Cobb this weekend, Sope Creek Garden Club Plant Sale

The flowers outside Eastside Baptist Church aren’t officially part of Friday’s Sope Creek Garden Club Plant sale that kicks off a full slate of East Cobb Weekend Events, but it’s certainly an enticing invitation to get and stay outdoors.

The weather’s going to be splendid most of the weekend, with cloudy skies and a chance of rain showers on Saturday.

The plant sale mentioned above takes place from 11-6 Friday at Eastside Baptist (2450 Lower Roswell Road), and there’s free admission. In addition to the plants, they’ll be selling decorative garden items, containers, plant stands and related items as part of one of their primary fundraisers;

A first-time 5K race and fun run takes place early Saturday at Mt. Bethel UMC (4385 Lower Roswell Road). It’s the Project 82 Kenya 5K Race for Good, a ministry of the church that works to provide education and health care services for orphaned children in Kenya. The registration cost is now $40, and sign-in starts at 6 a.m. on race day. It’s also a USATF qualifier and age-group winners will receive beaded necklaces made in the East African nation and brought back for the race;

One of the community’s tastiest days is Saturday, with the 13th annual Taste of East Cobb from 11-5, rain or shine, at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church (955 Johnson Ferry Road). Admission is free for the Walton HS band fundraiser, and sample tickets vary from $1-$5, with nearly 30 local restaurants participating. There’s also live entertainment from the Walton Jazz Band, a Kids’ Zone, other vendors, a raffle and silent auction and a chance to vote on your favorite flavors;

Needle felting with a floral theme is the subject of a 2D Felted Spring Tulip Workshop from 2-4 Saturday at the Mountain View Regional Library (3330 Sandy Plains Road). The cost is $25 plus a $10 supply fee;

On Sunday morning, get up bright and early with the inspirations of Claude Monet’s gardens at an Art in the Park session at East Cobb Park (3322 Roswell Road). The session for all ages lasts from 8:30-11:30 a.m. (rain or shine) and is conducted by ABC Easel, which wants you to register beforehand by calling or texting 678-478-3002 or via email at abceasel@gmail.com.
