On March 12, 2009, the Newnan Coweta Board of Realtors held their annual Professional Achievement Awards banquet at the Coweta Club in Arbor Springs Plantation.

This memorable evening honored Realtors who have met professional criteria and who have obtained high sales goals. Guests were serenaded by a string quartet from the Coweta Performing Arts Center. The dinner menu was a masterpiece created by Executive Chef, Lance Jeffers. Before the awards were given out, motivational speaker, Eric Zier, former University of Georgia quarterback, shared his positive thoughts on our current real estate market.

The Coweta Club, located in Arbor Springs Plantation, features an 18 hole golf course and a beautiful clubhouse for your family or professional events. Arbor Springs Plantation is a custom home community that is conveniently located near exit 51 at I-85, northeast of Newnan off Hwy 29.

The patrons of the arts in Coweta County support organizations and facilities that highlight drama, visual arts, music and dance. The Wadsworth Auditorium, located in Historic downtown Newnan, is Coweta County's only Art Deco building. This facility was named after Charles Wadsworth, the world renowned classical pianist and a native of Newnan. This building dates back to 1939 and features original mosaic floors. The auditorium has a restoration committee that is dedicated to enhance its original building elements but to also update the facility with the latest electronics and furnishings. The Centre for Performing and Visual Arts of Coweta County is located on Lower Fayetteville Road and easily recognized due the recent construction of a new entrance sign. This 48,000 square foot facility features an elegant lobby, art gallery, lecture halls and a state of the art theater. The center is available for use by all of the citizens of the surrounding communities with special priority given to school system events. Some regular performers on their event calendar are the Masterworks Chorale, local talent shows, summer workshops, group voice lessons and school performances. These state of the art facilities are an extension of the classroom and our community.
