It’s an article about the farmer in NZ who rented out his place for Hobbiton, and how the movies have given the community new wealth and prosperity. Its very funny. Anyway, there ya go, and thanks for all the great things you do! [More]

Tickets are $3.00 at the door and there is also an art display done by this year’s class. The address of the church is:

334 Lake Dow Road
Mcdonough, GA 30252

So if you’ve got tickets to attend: good, hope to see you there! If not: there is still a chance.
