Just ten short years ago Senoia Georgia was one of those sleepy little hamlets where they rolled up the sidewalks at 6 P.M.

But now, nothing could be farther from the truth. A major revitalization effort in the downtown area has brought new nightlife to Coweta County’s southernmost city.

There are new restaurants, new shops, and a whole new attitude about living in Senoia. It is still a small town, but now it’s also up and coming!

If you haven’t been to Senoia for a while, I encourage you to plan a visit soon!

It’s worth the trip!

I have never been one to suffer from tunnel vision. When I am traveling from place to place, I take full notice the world that is around me.

Whether I am in a back alley or a National Park, I notice the all of the details that are around me.

And while some of the beauty of the world is obvious at first glance, at other times, the aesthetic value of a glimpse must be cognitively recognized to be fully appreciated.

Perhaps I have a touch of AADD. I am so easily distracted.

There is so much to see in the world around me and I want to experience all of it!

The 2010 Memorial Day activities in Senoia Georgia were deemed a rousing success by those that attended. The crowds were large, as Mother Nature allowed a break from the rain for just the right amount of time to complete the schedule of events.

The main event was the Memorial Day parade, which was a compilation of veterans from many wars, vintage and contemporary military equipment, local veteran’s organizations and even an Army band!

Also in the parade were local civic organizations and clubs, and the mood was festive with plenty of flag waving and applause.

Just after the parade, at exactly 3:00 P.M.,  the attendees participated in the national moment of remembrance, followed by the blasts of a military salute and the playing of “Taps” by a lone bugler.

Kudos to the citizens of Senoia for their participation in this fine tribute to both our fallen heroes., and to those currently serving.

It was indeed a day to remember!

The annual Light Up Senoia festival is scheduled for Saturday December 5. The program starts at 5 P.M. and will continue until 8 P.M. or until all of the planned activities have been concluded.

Included in the festivities are the lighting of the municipal Christmas tree, a food court, live music and entertainment, and Santa’s Secret Worship!

But the main event is always the Christmas Parade down Main Street. The parade typically includes marching bands, floats sponsored by local businesses and civic organizations, live animals, and the arrival of You-Know-Who direct from the North Pole.

Because a large crowd is expected, it is suggested that you plan to arrive early, especially if you are driving as it may take a few extra minutes to park.

If you enjoy small towns, good people, and Americana at its best, you won’t want to miss Light Up Senoia.

It’s a great holiday tradition!

The annual Christmas Light up Senoia event for 2008 will take place in the historic downtown area on Saturday, December 6.

The Christmas parade will begin at 5:00 P.M. The parade features floats, marching bands, and of course, the arrival of Santa Claus!

Other planned activities include the official lighting of the city Christmas tree, food by local vendors, and lots of live music and performances! Santa's Secret Workshop will be open for the kids to purchase gifts on their own.!

Parents may bring their own cameras to have their children's photos taken with Santa. Mrs. Claus will be there too!

This event draws a huge attendance, so arrive early to allow time to find a parking place. Walking in suggested for nearby residents!

It's a once a year tradition that's not to be missed, so mark your calendars now!
