Newnan, GA

Eric Zeier, former University of Georgia and NFL starting quarterback, visited the ERA United Realty office in Newnan Georgia on Wednesday, October 8 2008. He delivered a motivational presentation to the agents and staff attending the regular weekly sales meeting.

Mr. Zeier spoke on the challenges of making it to the highest level in football, and demonstrated that the same principles of hard work, dedication and striving for improvement and excellence required for a successful career in sports, carried over into any business endeavor

Zeier went on to say that the businessperson that does not increase lead generation practices in today's market cannot expect to achieve the same results as in the past. Tougher times demand harder work and increased proactive effort! The message was well-received by all those in attendance.

While playing for Georgia, Zeier set 67 School records and 18 Southeastern conference records, including the conference record for most passing yards at 11,153, which has since been surpassed only by Peyton Manning and David Greene, another Georgia Bulldog.

Eric Zeier is now a regional vice president at Bank of America, and also does weekly broadcasts for the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team as a color commentator.

The 2008 fall Taste of Newnan was held on Thursday October 2, 2008. The downtown square was alive with food aficionados who were there to sample the fare of Newnan and Coweta County's finest eateries!

Hosted by MainStreet Newnan, the fundraising event is designed to let local restaurateurs purvey their culinary creations to a mass mob of sweet and savory sampling citizens.

This year's event did not disappoint, with menu items ranging from smoked duck sausage to barbecued ribs to pizza! Add to that every kind of sweet treat imaginable and you have a food fair that is second to none.

A Taste of Newnan is held every year in both the spring and fall, and has become one of the most popular regular events in the county. It is one of the many reasons that make Coweta County a great place to live and work.

We are having an exciting weekend in Newnan Georgia. The county fair is in town, and coincidentally, Friday night was homecoming at Newnan High School.

Both are still pretty big events here. On Thursday evening, the square in downtown Newnan was closed and set aside for a huge pep rally, with music and cheerleaders and hundreds of Cougar loyalists.

The scene could just as easily have taken place in 1958 as 2008, with the beautiful backdrop of historic downtown Newnan and the agenda of rituals the same as they have been for decades.

Meanwhile, just south of town, the County Fair opened at our wonderful fairground complex. Since Coweta County still has plenty of farms, ranches and agricultural areas, the county fair is another event that is very reminiscent of the past. There are 4-H competitions, livestock shows, blue ribbon contests of every kind and a deluxe midway.

It is akin to living on a movie set, with slice of life episodes being depicted before your eyes. Yet it is truly part of the fabric of life here, deeply ingrained and not likely to change any time soon.

It nice to live in a community that still adheres to the old traditions; it's a wonderful connection with the past! And it's something special to pass on to our children. It is Americana at its finest!
