Mark your calendars for the 8th Annual Mableton Community Day on Saturday, May 18th.

Festivities begin at 8am with a 5K race (sponsored by Wellstar), followed by a Kids’ Fun Run (sponsored by Cobb & Douglas Public Health/We Can!), jumpies, Kids’ Corner (sponsored by Primrose School at Providence Pavilion), entertainment, food, a classic car show, historic Mable House tours and the vendor area. This year, the Kids’ Corner will have a petting zoo. Health and wellness activities for folks of all ages are sponsored by the Atlanta Regional Commission, Cobb & Douglas Public Health and AARP. Parking, admission and historic Mable House tours are free. There will be a charge for race registration, jumpies, and food and refreshments.

The day concludes at 2pm except for historic Mable House tours, which will be available until 4pm. Come back that evening for the first Candlelite Concert of the 2013 season. Milkshake Mayfield returns to play smooth jazz and gospel music. General and lawn area seating will be free of charge and tables down in front will be available for a nominal charge. Gates open at 6:30pm and the concert will start at 8pm.

There are still volunteer opportunities to help run the event while showing support for your favorite non-profit or the community in general. Come to the next Public Rally April 15th, 7pm, at the Mable House Arts Center to find out how you can be an active part of this 8th annual community celebration.
