Halloween at Stoney Point Fire Station #13

Each year, the firemen at Stoney Point Station 13 set up an elaborate and frightening Trail of Terror for those who are brave enough to partake. There are so many cars parked along the side of the road during the scheduled nights that you can hardly get past the station. There are kids and adults alike but I don't recommend the smaller children participate. These are some hard-working guys (as I hear their sirens several times per week) who stop to give even MORE to the community. I guess there is truth in the old saying...you work hard you play hard. Great job guys!!

Six Flags Over Georgia's Military Appreciation

US FlagIn an effort to honor our Armed Forces, Six Flags Over Georgia has taken time to allow those who serve to get complimentary admission at the gate for themselves and up to 3 dependents. You must be currently serving on active duty status in the Army or the Marines (I absolutely love their commercials). September 20 is the day for the Army and September 21 is the day for the Marines. If your loved one is deployed on their respective date, the spouse is able to take advantage of this opportunity. That spouse call also get up to 3 tickets. Keep in mind that you must have a valid military identification card.

Sept 20 - Army: Park opens @ 10:00a.m. to 8:00p.m.
Sept 21 - Marines: Park opens @ 11:00a.m. to 7:00p.m.
