Weekend Editor

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, a weekend to

remember and honor our veterans.

Memorial Day has also become synonymous with the term

"three-day weekend." It is often a family's first good chance to

enjoy nice weather and some time together. Whether you go to

Six Flags, Stone Mountain or simply as far as your own back

yard, there are plenty of options for things to do this weekend.

A parade, sponsored by the Peachtree City Kiwanis Club,

will start at The Gathering Place at 7 a.m.on Monday. The parade

route will end at Memorial Park at City Hall Plaza. The Kiwanis Club

will provide coffee and donuts and Mac Collins will be the

speaker. Also at the ceremony will be Mayor Bob Lenox giving

remarks and thee Marine Corps Color Guard. The V.F.W. will then

lay a wreath at the memorial.

The American Legion will hold a memorial service at the

Peachtree City cemetery at 10 a.m. on Monday.

Also taking place in Peachtree City this weekend is the

National Junior tennis tournament at the Peachtree City Tennis Center.

The Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers is

hosting its Spring Funfair and Expo starting Friday, May 28 and

running until Sunday, June 6. The Funfair offers rides, games, exhibits,

petting zoos, racing pigs, country music and wrestling events.

The Funfair opens at 4 p.m. Wednesdays and 11 a.m. weekends

and Memorial Day. Phone 888-434-FAIR for information.

Lake Lanier and Stone Mountain both have their share of

entertainment this weekend as well. Both parks have picnic and

recreation areas, water parks, exhibits and entertainers this

weekend. Stone Mountain will host the Beach Boys Family and

Friends Sunday and local favorites, Papparazzi, will open the show.

Papparazzi features Randy Watkins and Tim Greer, who

grew up in Fayetteville and currently live in Coweta County. The

rest of the band lives in and around Coweta County. Papparazzi

has played a number of Fox 97 events, including the Fox Family

Fun Night in Fayetteville last year. They mix oldies, rock and

country into a frenzy of toe-tapping fun music.

Callaway Gardens will host the 40th annual Masters Water

Ski Challenge this Saturday and Sunday. The finest water skiers

from around the world will compete in jump, slalom and trick

events. Tamara Comstock will perform Saturday night at Robin

lake Beach. To purchase advance tickets phone 1-888-806-2783.

If none of those options appealed to you, you can always

go see the Braves battle the Dodgers or you could go see Star

Wars. Enjoy the weather, and drive carefully.
