In and Around Athens Today

The Hazardous Waste Drop Off is going strong at the Athens Community Center! Athens City residents have until 2 pm to take their hazardous waste to the drop off site. We encourage city residents to take advantage of this great opportunity! AmeriCorps*VISTA volunteers Duane Bogart, Emily Camm, and myself, Sherri Oliver, were there this morning to help with the collection. I was very happy with the amount of Athens community members who came to dispose of their hazardous materials, and it looks like today is going to be a great success!

Also, our friends at Stuart's Opera House, who are celebrating their 10th year of being re-opened, are having their annual fall fundraiser today. The rockin' Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks will be headlining the show, along the the Firecracker Jazz Band, who will be opening things up.


In addition to the show, there will also be a silent auction in the lobby of the Opera House which will be starting at 7:30 pm. There are lots of great items donated by area businesses, and it's definitely worth checking out! Please support our friends at Stuart's!
