Atlanta is THE place to be this Labor Day weekend! If you are on a tight budget, getting out of the house for a few hours to enjoy the beautiful pre-fall weather to get the last summer tan, re-connect with your husband or significant other by going on a date, than this is the perfect weekend for you to enjoy and see all the things that Atlanta really has to offer.
Here are a few events that I have read about and heard through friends, the radio and local e-newsletters that might entice you to go out of your neighborhood comfort zone:
- The Farmers Markets in Alpharetta, Woodstock, Lawrenceville, and Suwanee is a must see if you haven’t been to any of these yet. There are lots of seasonal vegetables, fruits, fresh flowers, plants & raw honey available from local . Get there early because the early bird gets the worm! 8:00 – 12:00 Noon. If you plan to go to Woodstock, stop in and say hello and tour our beautiful award winning model, The Briarcliff, at Lakestone, located off South Cherokee Drive and Highway 92 in Woodstock.
