This weekend

Be sure to check out a few things this weekend ...

Mercury Art Works is hosting a gallery opening at Hotel Indigo tonight at 8 p.m., and the event is free and open to the public. There's going to be some contemporary dance, local music and a performance by Canopy Studio. Mercury Art Works is run by Chris Wyreck and Sandi Turner, and they're both good folks, so check it out.

Tomorrow, head out to my neck of the woods and visit the Watkinsville Fall Festival in downtown Watkinsville. Lots of games, crafts and food on hand, so it should be a lot of fun. In addition, the Oconee Farmers Market will be going on as usual at Eagle Tavern, so visit that too.

And don't forget abou the pre-release listening party of R.E.M's 'Live At The Olympia' which will be held at Hotel Indigo on October 26. It benefits Community Connection of Northeast Georgia and Family Connection, and tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.
