The West Georgian

Carrollton will be holding several Halloween-themed events this year for families to attend. As we approach the week of Halloween, look out for the spooky events in your area that all members of the family, even dogs, can enjoy. 

When the stress of midterms and assignments piling up becomes too much, Homecoming serves as the perfect break for UWG students to enjoy the week full of festivities. One of the events planned was the popular homecoming tradition of Greek Grind, which took place on Oct. 16 in The Coliseum.

Hurricane season for the United States runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 and many companies and organizations are working to provide relief after two of the largest hurricanes this season made landfall. Many nationwide organizations, including local businesses and nonprofits in Newnan, Ga., are stepping forward and offering support to victims and communities impacted by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

On the top of the hill behind West Commons there’s a path hidden off of a gravel road that leads into what appears to be the woods outside of campus. However, if you were to follow the path you’d find yourself not in an eerie part of the forest, but in one of the hidden gems of UWG’s campus, The Community Garden. The Community Garden is home to UWG’s Gardening Club, a student organization that has been active for years, but somehow always flies under the radar.
