Community Picnic This Weekend

Food Lion and the City of Grantville will host the Georgia Cities Week Community Picnic in Colley Park at Noon on Saturday, April 25.

While the picnic is most specifically for residents of Grantville, anyone who considers themselves part of our western Georgia community is encouraged to come out and enjoy a spring day with neighbors and friends.

Colley Park is in downtown Grantville. Picnic tables will be provided...you are also encouraged to bring lawn chairs and picnic blankets! The freight depot will be open during the picnic to provided restrooms (and an indoor location in the event of rain.) The picnic will last until 2 pm or until all the hotdogs are gone, whichever comes first!

Thank you, Food Lion for donating the food and City of Grantville employees Ron Owen and Joe Jones for volunteering to man the grill!!

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
