Who is in need of more winter clothes? Or are you preparing for a new baby? Maybe you are trying to get in shape and want a treadmill or some other piece of workout equipment. Well, you are in luck because the semi-annual Heron Bay Golf & Country Club community-wide weekend garage sale is on Saturday! You never know what you may find, but you do know that whatever it is will be a fantastic deal. The garage sale is organized by the Heron Bay Social Committee and is one event in a series of ongoing events at Heron Bay designed to bring the community at Heron Bay together.  There are always a myriad of homeowners that participate, selling good-quality items that they no longer have any use for. Bear in mind this is an event that everyone in the Locust Grove area can benefit from. Usually Heron Bay events are for residents only, but for this occasion, any and everyone is invited to come shopping. (more…)

If you were ever curious if anything spooky or mysterious has ever happened in Henry County, well, now is your time to find out. Every Saturday from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. you can participate in a haunted history tour of the McDonough Square. Specific building will be highlighted, and I am sure that once you hear the stories associated with each, you won’t be able to pass the building without getting a shiver that runs down your spine. This is a perfect way to spend a Saturday evening in October, as it is the Halloween season and you are supposed to partake in creepy activities such as this. The tour will be hosted by a McDonough native that will be sharing the haunted memories of the historic buildings. Reservations are required because space is limited, so call 770-957-1880 to reserve your spot. Adults are $10 and children are $5. The group meets at Bell, Book & Candle used book store and ventures out from there. See you for a spooky-fun time around the McDonough Square.

Henry County is full of unique community events like these on the weekend. (more…)

As final opportunity incentives go, this one is fantastic! Brayson Homes is offering free basements for October closings in Pinehurst. Of course it is wise to see the on-site sales agent for specific details, but the bottom line is that a contract must close with BH financial before October 31st in order to take advantage of this incentive. This neighborhood at Heron Bay has only a few homes remaining, and this is your opportunity to add on extra living space to any of those four homes. When it comes to a new home in Locust Grove, the single-family homes in Pinehurst at Heron Bay are top notch. Located directly across from Heron Bay’s community lodge and aquatic center, Pinehurst is the perfect fit for young families, single professionals and empty nesters alike. Pinehurst features innovative ranch and traditional two story plans with up to five bedrooms and three and one-half baths from 2,000 to 2,600 square feet. (more…)

The Henry County Fair took place from September 29 - October 5 at Windy Hill Park in McDonough. The fair featured rides for children, a horse race and demonstration, as well as food vendors. Local residents and businesses displayed crafts, jewelry, food and arts. One of the biggest features of the fair was a 330 pound pumpkin that has grown over the past year!

The Kiwanis Club has sponsored the fair for the past 25 years. All money raised at the event remains in the county to assist local organizations. Other organizations involved in making this annual fair occur include the Henry County 4-H Club, the City of McDonough and the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Office in McDonough.

This was a fantastic way for Heron Bay residents to enjoy the early fall weather. Along with local events, the residents of this Atlanta master planned community are also able to enjoy events within their own community.
