It’s summertime in Acworth! The lakes are alive with fishing and water sports, the trails are being enjoyed daily, and the kids have one more month before school starts. We hope you and your family are having a wonderful season making memories and enjoying all our city has to offer. Your city team is working hard every day to ensure quality services and beautiful park spaces throughout Acworth to help keep your summer relaxation going smoothly.
This summer feeling ushers in July, a month of gratefulness and celebration. It’s a wonderful time to look back at what we value in our lives and how our country works through challenges to achieve a quality of life worth fighting for. We celebrate the Fourth of July each year at Cauble Park with fireworks and music, remembering the spirit and bravery of all who have been courageous on the front lines and in our government buildings in demanding freedom and equality for nearly 2½ centuries. It’s this spirit that reminds us of what our country does best — we work together. We come together with all our strengths and abilities to create a community worthy of protection. This month, we celebrate a nation built on the rights and freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and we celebrate the community that makes it happen.
Speaking of summer, don’t forget to stop by Logan Farm Park on July 29 from 3-8 p.m. for the Summer Downtown Classic Car Cruise, a collaboration between the city of Acworth and the Lake City Cruisers. It’s free to attend and a small fee to park your classic car. Proceeds from the event are donated to the Special-Needs Development Group, which supports the Horizon League and upkeep of the Horizon Field at the Acworth Sports Complex. We’re grateful to have this inclusive field that offers a variety of league and programming opportunities for our community’s young people with special needs. And we thank our partners, like the Lake City Cruisers, for their support in helping to provide these activities for our athletes.
As always, for the latest information on any of our events and projects, you can visit www.acworth.org, sign up for our e-news blasts on our home page, “like” the city of Acworth on Facebook or follow us on Instagram at @cityofacworthga.
May God bless you and your families.
