Cherokee Scoop | September 19, 2024

Good Morning! ☀️ Alright, folks, fall break is officially wrapping up, but before you get too cozy with your to-do list (or that third pumpkin spice latte), we’ve got a weekend packed with excitement to squeeze every last drop of fun out of the season. First up, the Georgia State Fair starts TONIGHT! Get ready for wild rides, fried food creations you never thought possible, and more stuffed animals than your car can handle. 🎠✨But the fair's not the only show in town! 🎤 This weekend, we’ve got Taste of Canton and for the little ones (and our future tycoons), don’t miss the Children’s Entrepreneur Market—who knows, you might just meet the next big CEO of lemonade stands, jewelry shops, or slime empires! 🤑💼 So, put off that "back to reality" mindset just a little longer—there's still plenty of time to have a blast right here in our community. Let’s make the last days of fall break count! 🎉

Let’s get after it!
