This year, the wine tasting and festival replaces the native plant sale usually held every spring to show respect for the limits of our water resources due to the drought. Help celebrate fine wine, music, and the written word!

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend this affordable fundraiser. For more information, visit the Georgia Forestwatch website.


The 8th annual Celebrate Clayton festival was a tremendous success! Sunshine showered down on the event, as 10,000 visitors enjoyed strolling along Main Street enjoying food and drink, live music, and making purchases from the close to 150 vendors whose booths lined both sides of the street, as well as from the local shops in town. Children had a chance to paint and be painted - face painting was one of many art activities.
