Lining the

streets of Main Street and Terrentine Road at the

intersection of Ga. highways 16 and 54 is Old Town

Sharpsburg.

This

Saturday and Sunday it will be the scene of the 15th

annual Fall Festival. Each year the festival displays

arts and crafts and antiques, showcases live music and

dancing, and has some of the tastiest festival food for

sale.

The

festival is supported by local churches, which provide

some of the entertainment, food and exhibits. The

Sharpsburg Baptist Church will have a raffle and sell

hamburgers, hotdogs and baked goods to raise money. The

raffle features goods that are donated by local

businesses and organizations. Cokes Chapel United

Methodist Church will provide the barbecue.

This year,

the Olive Branch Ladies, a group within the Sharpsburg

Baptist Church, will raffle off a five-piece wicker set

to raise money for their mission work. They also will

sell jellies and jams.

Among all

of the shops, which will be open all weekend during the

festival, and the antiques and arts and crafts there will

be a constant flow of live entertainment. The stage will

be filled with local musicians and singers, as well as

several clogging performances from Rachel Ferguson and

her dancers. Ferguson teaches a clogging course at the

Coweta County Recreation Department.

The

festival will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Friday and

Saturday. For information call 770-251-2000 or

770-253-4446.
