It will be

a busy weekend.

Easter weekend

always is. We start with Good Friday and hope for an even better Saturday.

There will be many local activities going on this weekend to help make

it that way. Whether you're someone who revels in nature or industry,

there is something going on this weekend to appeal to your tastes.

The weekend

begins with the Fayette County Recreation Department's Adult Leisure Club

meeting for its monthly potluck luncheon at the Kiwanis Center from 10

a.m. to 1 p.m. The fee is $5 and a covered dish.

The Metro Fayette

Kiwanis Club will sponsor a Rose Rodeo Saturday, April 14 from 9 a.m.

to noon. The Fayette County Rose Society will be on hand to give demonstrations

on planting, pruning and selection as well as information on care of roses.

The Rose Rodeo

will be at Andy's II Discount Nursery on Ga. Highway 85 in Fayetteville.

All proceeds will benefit the Metro Fayette Kiwanis Club and its community

projects. Phone Vicki Turner at 770-461-4860.

If roses aren't

your pace, check out Touch A Truck. The Peachtree City Recreation Department

is sponsoring this event for kids of all ages to come and see, touch and

generally be around big rigs of all kinds.

The event will

be Saturday, April 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Shakerag Knoll (off McIntosh

Trail at the amphitheater parking lot). All kinds of motor equipment will

be on hand for fans of heavy machinery to touch and learn more about.

There will be a semi-tractor trailer, a bucket truck, stump grinder, chipper

truck, luxury van, back hoe, compactor, front end loader, concrete truck,

police and fire vehicles and more.

"What

could be a better opportunity for pictures to be taken of your little

boys and girls (or big boys and girls) on or around these huge vehicles,"

said Susan Taylor, event coordinator. "We will have on hand hot dogs

and drinks sold by a local Boy Scout troop and an up-and-coming local

band will be on hand to keep things lively."

This event

has been offered by other recreation departments around the state and

has been very successful. For information phone 770-631-2542.

It wouldn't

be Easter weekend without an egg hunt. The Tyrone Recreation Department

will offer an Easter egg hunt Saturday, April 14 at 1 p.m. at Shamrock

Park. The hunt is free but participants are asked to preregister. Call

770-487-4694.

There are dozens

of other things to do this weekend, including a day trip to Callaway Gardens,

visiting Six Flags, watching the Braves take on the Phillies, visiting

Warm Springs or viewing some top notch soccer at the Adidas Challenge

Cup. Whatever you choose to do this weekend, be sure to have fun.
