The Georgia Renaissance Fair Returns for Fall Fling Festival

The 2024 Georgia Renaissance Fall Fling Festival will run every Saturday from Nov. 2, to Dec. 7. The Fall Fling Festival is a slightly smaller event than the main festival that runs in April, and offers a great introduction to those who have not been before. The Festival is located in Fairburn, Ga. and attempts to recreate the English renaissance while bringing entertainment to the guests. The renaissance theme means costumes, performances, romance and chivalry.

Bert’s Big Adventure Gives to Those in Need

Bert’s Big Adventure is a non-profit organization founded by Bert Weiss in 2002. The organization takes children with chronic and terminal illnesses between ages 5-12 to Walt Disney World for five days. The trip is an all expenses paid trip and includes the whole family. The trip began taking seven families, but now has grown to be able to take 12-15 due to community donations and partnerships. Throughout the trip the kids will have limos, chartered flights, princess makeovers and much more.
