Achasta

The 2010 Spirit of Achasta, “A Walk That Matters” benefitting the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation will be held on Saturday, September 25 in and around the Achasta community.  Last year’s inaugural event raised over $18,000 for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and our goal this year is to raise $25,000. 

The mission of this fundraiser walk is to not only to raise money for the foundation but to also raise awareness about the disease.

Rainbow Children’s Home has announced its Lobster Boil Dinner fundraiser for the fall.

The dinner will include cocktails, dinner, a silent auction, door prizes, and a brief program. The main course will consist of a one and half pound or more live Maine lobster. The meal also includes clam chowder, fresh Maine blueberry crisp, and all of the “Down-East” Maine extras. Included with each meal are two wine or beer tickets and a cash bar will also be available.

The North Georgia College & State University here in the North Georgia Mountains offers some unique programs that cater to the area’s diverse interests.

It’s that time of year again. The rodeo is coming to the North Georgia Mountains for the 20th Annual Mountain Top Rodeo at R-Ranch In The Mountains. Filled with all of the competitive action of the rodeo circuit, this isn’t just a festival; it’s a competition of world-class riders.

Year after year, the rodeo proves to be one of the most anticipated events in the area. Residents and area visitors alike gather every year for the fast paced action, great food, and fun activities that the rodeo provides.
