"The

Coke bottles are in," announced Brooks Town

Councilwoman Caroline Smith at last week's town

council meeting.

Commemorative

Coke bottles were planned, designed and ordered a

year ago as a means of obtaining additional

funding for the Recreation Department, and 2,000

bottles were ordered. The pre-purchase price was

$8 per bottle.

Due

to various conflicts within the Coca-Cola

Company, the four-month wait turned into 12

months.

If

you have not picked up your order yet, they can

be obtained the next two Saturday mornings at the

Brooks Recreation Department.

Those

who haven't ordered bottles may still be able to

get them through the Recreation Department, but

will have to wait until Nov. 1 to find out if any

are left. City officials report that some of the

bottles have arrived broken, and they won't know

how many are available for sale until they've

replaced all the broken ones.

After

Nov. 1, phone 770-461-2896 for information on

availability of additional bottles.

Smith

said a collectibles dealer has told her that the

bottles already have a collector's value of $50

per bottle.
