Get Out: A Look at What to Do This Weekend

With Daylight Saving Time last weekend and lasting warm temperatures, there should be no excuse to get out and about this weekend. 

Who wants to stay in for the debut of good weather, anyway?  

When/Where: Saturday, March 19, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., City of Lilburn Overflow Parking Lot, Main Street, Lilburn.

Why Go: With nearly 50 parking spaces of vendors to prop their items for sale, it'll be practically impossibe to find an item or two that you can't not purchase. Mingle with others, peruse the tables and support the local community of Lilburn at their annual garage sale. Tip for all you garage and yard sale newbies: Bring a bag or two for your loot. You'll thank us later.

Also, stop by from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. (open early because of the yard sale) to meet and talk with the newest artist to exhibit her paintings of flowers, landscapes and portraits, Peggy Sullens.
