Around Towne
by Susan Kyle
What's New
Hurricane Bay, a new car wash, will soon
be built behind Brusters Ice Cream. This will be a drive through touchless
car wash as well as a coin operated self-serve unit for those of you who
like to wash your own cars.
The Welcome Center in downtown Woodstock
is open each day from 10 a.m. — 3 p.m. The Center is located in
the Dean Pharmacy Store on Main Street. You can find your favorite magazine
The TowneLaker, as well as other important information about the community.
Ms. Juanita Hughes, a retired librarian, is responsible for welcoming
visitors to Woodstock. She knows Woodstock's history like the back of
her hand.
Curves for Women, a 30 minute fitness
and weight loss center is opening at 2485A Towne Lake Parkway, next to
the shoe repair shop.
What's Happening
On April 2 at 7:30 p.m., there will be a
rezoning hearing for the annexation of The Shops at Towne Lake by the
City of Woodstock. This plaza is the home to Peking and Tokyo restaurant.
The Fourth Annual Earth Day and Recycle
Festival will be held on Saturday, April 20, at Woodstock City Park.
Hosted by Keep Cherokee Beautiful, this event is a fun filled day of games
and education for the entire family. Several environmental booths will
be opened to demonstrate recycling, gardening, smog and pollution to name
just a few. There will also be crafts made from recycled products for
sale, face painting, door prizes, food and music. The Festival is open
from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. and admission is free. So plan to make a day
of it and teach your children they can make a difference in this world
by recycling.
As we mentioned last month the Board of Education
owns 20 acres of land in Wyngate that has been deemed unsuitable
for development of a school. The Cherokee County Commissioners have the
funds from the state to purchase Cherokee greenspace. Please contact the
Commissioners today by email, fax or phone, to tell them that you want
them to put this parcel at the top of their list for purchase. (See contact
information on page 100.)
Nature Trails. If you are looking
for a place for walking, biking, running or just to enjoy nature in some
of the most pristine woods in Cherokee County, you will want to get involved.
Don't forget about the public meeting to discuss the possibility of creating
an extensive nature trail system for Towne Lake. This meeting will be
held Tuesday, April 23 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Rose Creek Library.
