A CHRISTMAS CAROL PRESENTED BY THEATRE BUFORD

Though London awaits the joyful arrival of Christmas, miserly Ebenezer Scrooge thinks it’s all humbug, berating his faithful clerk and cheerful nephew for their view. Later, Scrooge encounters the ghost of his late business partner, who warns that three spirits will visit him this night. The ghosts take Scrooge on a journey through his past, present, and future in the hope of transforming his bitterness.

Join Flowery Branch High School at The Venue for a festive Holiday Sounds of the Season Concert featuring the FBHS Symphonic and Concert Band.

The 24 Hours of LeMons is a series of endurance races held on paved road race courses across the United States, Australia (since October 2015) and New Zealand (first event held September 2016). The series holds the Guinness World Record for the “Most participants in one race” (216 cars)

The title is a parody of the long-running annual 24 Hours of Le Mans race and lemon cars. Teams of 4 or more drivers compete for up to 24 hours in race-prepared cars that cost no more than US$500 for cars in the USA series, AUD$999 in Australia and NZD$999 in New Zealand; as with folk racing there is a price limit. These races set themselves apart from the typical road race by the unusual penalties and punishments meted out by judges, as well as a blatant disregard for traditional Motorsport politicking. The series is similar to the ChumpCar World Series (almost the same rulebook), but with a more carnival-like atmosphere.

Ladies and gentlemen! The moment you have all been waiting for has arrived! It is time to start the sign-ups for the 3rd Annual Christmas Light Competition! If you would like to enter your home into the competition, you will need to send your address via messenger to the Flowery Branch Police Department on Facebook. You will also need to monitor this event page so you know what is going on. There will be door prizes for first and second place! There is only one rule. In order to enter your home into the competition, your address must be in the city of Flowery Branch. You may nominate your own home at any time before the cut off date. The cut-off date for entering your home will be December 17, 2019, at midnight. Your patrol officers on the night shift will then have one week to drive around and judge your homes! The winner and runner up will be announced on December 27, 2019! We all know that no one will decorate before Thanksgiving….. oh wait…
Who am I kidding? Happy decorating and good luck. May the odds be ever in your favor.
