Coweta County

will be a busy place over the next week as the county hosts its share

of festivals and entertaining performances.

Old Town Sharpsburg

will host its 17th annual Fall Festival Sept. 15-16 from 10 a.m. to 5

p.m. Entertainment, music, clogging, antiques, arts and crafts and barbecue

are planned. There will even be a 9 a.m. worship service available Sunday.

Phone 770-253-4446, 678-423-0101 or 770-252-9400.

For those more

interested in storytelling, the Manget-Brannon Alliance for the Arts,

off the square in downtown Newnan, will host "Dementia, Delirium

and Melancholy: Quotations, Observations and Lamentations" with Stuart

Perry and Edward Canada. Both Perry and Canada are well known around Newnan

for their forays into the arts. Perry has written several short stories

and Canada has performed with Newnan Community Theatre on several occasions.

The content

of the show is a mystery but an adults only policy is suggested. The show

will be one night only, Saturday, Sept. 15, with a brief reception before

the show at 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be $3 at the door. Proceeds will benefit

the Manget-Brannon Alliance for the Arts.

The annual

Coweta County Fair will also return soon. The fair, sponsored by the Coweta

County Kiwanis Club, has a new home. The new fairgrounds are off Pine

Road and the fair will run from Tuesday, Sept. 18-Saturday, Sept. 22.

There will be rides, games, entertainment, exhibits, festival foods and

more.
