For a tantalizing twist on &ldquo;trick-or-treating,&rdquo; Georgia&rsquo;s Lanier Islands Resort takes advantage of spooky season to play host to a Murder Mystery Weekend&trade; Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1. The three-day interactive experience &ndash; produced by Keith &amp; Margo's Murder Mystery Nationwide &ndash; will feature suspicious characters, unexpected twists, and hidden clues. It will also include plenty of reasons for would-be sleuths to question everyone around them while indulging in delicious cocktails, expertly prepared meals, and deluxe accommodations as the mystery unfolds nightly.
&ldquo;We love that our Murder Mystery Weekend aligns with Halloween, adding an undeniable air of whimsy to our who-dun-it,&rdquo; said Lanier Islands Resort President Matthew Bowling. &ldquo;In addition to enhancing our Fall event calendar in a frightfully fun way, this event provides a cool twist on your typical date weekend. Guests can take advantage of any downtime in between sleuthing sessions to relax in their room, get a couples massage at Tranquility Spa, explore our scenic lakeside trails, or review all the clues in the glow of one of our firepits poised throughout the resort.&rdquo; 
Reservations are required for the Murder Mystery Weekend at Lanier Islands Resort, priced at $599* per person based on double occupancy, plus applicable taxes and resort fees. The package includes two nights of accommodations, a three-day interactive experience, Friday's welcome reception with hors d'oeuvres, three meals and a cocktail party on Saturday, and Sunday brunch. All meals will be prepared by the resort&rsquo;s skilled culinary team, led by Director of Operations Nishant Chaudhary and Executive Chef Whitney Okula.
The manhunt for the Murder Mystery Weekend at Lanier Islands Resort includes:
Friday, October 30: 3 p.m. check-in, followed by a 7 p.m. cocktail party where hidden impostors, mysterious clues, and unexpected twists will transform this welcome reception into the start of a thrilling investigation.
Saturday, October 31: New evidence comes to light at breakfast, and the investigation takes a new turn by lunch. All clues lead to a cocktail party and dinner, where the investigation takes another shocking twist.
Sunday, November 1: After following the clues, interrogating the prime suspects, and narrowing the list to one culprit, it&rsquo;s time for guests to learn how close they came to cracking the case as the lead detective exposes the murderer over brunch.
Bowling warns anyone interested in taking part in the Murder Mystery Weekend not to make the grave mistake of booking their stay too late.

Boasting a presence in 19 markets throughout the U.S. that includes Metro Atlanta, award-winning homebuilder David Weekley Homes is about to add the Georgia city of McDonough to its portfolio. With the purchase of 156 acres in the heart of Henry County, development is underway for an amenity-rich, 318-home community targeted to 55+ homebuyers. Forecast to open to the public in late Fall 2026, Wade Farm will showcase innovatively designed, expertly crafted floor plans from the Encore by David Weekley Homes product line with starting prices in the mid-$300s. To further enhance the community&rsquo;s allure, planned amenities will include a clubhouse for social gatherings and a Lifestyle Director to plan events and activities. There will also be a pool, pickleball and bocce ball courts, dog parks, a walking trail system, and more that will prove a wonderful way for Wade Farm neighbors to connect. 

&ldquo;We love to make our debut in new cities while expanding our reach to homebuyers who might not be familiar with David Weekley Homes,&rdquo; said Atlanta Division President Adam Cornett. &ldquo;Steeped in history, McDonough is the quintessential Southern town. Our Land Team made an amazing find with this site. We are so excited to be here, and we have faith that our active adult homebuyers will feel the same way. McDonough and the surrounding Henry County are filled with wonderful parks and charming town centers. There&rsquo;s fun to be found during race days at EchoPark Speedway and a jam-packed calendar of events year-round in McDonough and the neighboring cities of Locust Grove, Stockbridge, and Hampton. And because of McDonough&rsquo;s convenience to I-75, future homeowners could be within 40 minutes of finding their seats for the latest Broadway in Atlanta performance at The Fox Theatre or exploring the galleries at The High Museum. Of course, with all the amenities we have planned for this community, you won&rsquo;t have to venture far to craft a great day or find ways to turn neighbors into friends.&rdquo;

Cornett added that the picturesque, gated community will offer beautifully crafted one-story homes &ndash; each infused with a blend of luxury and livability. Designed with active adults in mind, a focus on open concepts and outdoor living spaces creates ideal environments for future <a href="https://www.davidweekleyhomes.com/new-homes/ga/atlanta/mcdonough/wade-farm" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Wade Farm</a> Homeowners to entertain friends and family. Meanwhile, thoughtfully crafted Owner&rsquo;s Retreats offer tranquil spaces for them to begin and end each day. When the community opens for sales later this year, it will showcase two professionally merchandised model homes for prospective homebuyers to tour and gain design inspiration.

To learn more about Wade Farm, homebuyers interested in the McDonough-based 55+ community are invited to visit the community webpage at <a href="https://www.davidweekleyhomes.com/new-homes/ga/atlanta/mcdonough/wade-farm" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.davidweekleyhomes.com/new-homes/ga/atlanta/mcdonough/wade-farm</a>

While the proverbial curtain has closed on the 2026 Concerts for a Cause series at Lanier Islands Resort, the good vibes are still reverberating throughout North Georgia. Proceeds from ticket sales for the three-concert series totaled $28,000, of which half benefited Georgia Mountain Food Bank and the other half benefited the Lake Lanier Association. Those funds will further the missions of both nonprofits, which hold great meaning for the lakeside destination.&ldquo;We&rsquo;d like to thank everyone who attended our Concerts for a Cause, which were not only a lot of fun, but were also really impactful,&rdquo; said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands Resort. &ldquo;For 60 years, the Lake Lanier Association has proven critical to the future of the Northeast Georgia region, working diligently to keep Lake Lanier clean, full, and safe. The funds we raised will support cleanup events like the LLA&rsquo;s annual Shore Sweep, as well as monthly water quality testing, and ongoing safety efforts. For Georgia Mountain Food Bank, the funds raised will provide an estimated 70,000 meals for our neighbors in need. Both organizations are essential to the future of our region, and we are proud to support them.&rdquo;Based in Gainesville, the Georgia Mountain Food Bank serves five counties throughout North Georgia and, in 2025 alone, provided 8.8 million meals to 88,000 people suffering from food insecurity. Its mission is to address hunger, health, and quality of life by serving those in need. Also headquartered in Gainesville, the Lake Lanier Association is the premier advocate for Lake Lanier. Together with its 4,500 members, the LLA strives to preserve Lake Lanier's water quality and quantity for everyone who relies on the lake and its watershed to enhance their quality of life. Both have major events on the horizon, with the LLA&rsquo;s Shore Sweep on September 19 and the 60th Anniversary Gala on November 12, and Georgia Mountain Food Bank&rsquo;s Empty Bowl 2026 event on September 25.Phil Dennis, Development Director for Georgia Mountain Food Bank, shared, &ldquo;We are deeply grateful to Lanier Islands for their generosity and to everyone who has supported the concert series. Together, we are helping ensure that no family in our community goes hungry.&rdquo;Victoria Clevenger, Executive Director for the Lake Lanier Association, also stated, &ldquo;Lanier Islands is a leader in community engagement, and we&rsquo;re grateful for the platform to bring more individuals into the LLA mission &ndash; it&rsquo;s truly remarkable what we can accomplish together. Thank you, Lanier Islands, for helping raise awareness of our mission to keep Lake Lanier Clean, Full, and Safe.&rdquo;Hosted at the picturesque lakeside Peachtree Pointe Amphitheater, the Concerts for a Cause Series featured Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band, Lost in Paradise, in July; the Ultimate Eagles Experience, The Long Run, in August; and concluded with the Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band, Rumours ATL, on Labor Day Weekend in September. Bowling announced plans to bring the series back in Summer 2027 and encouraged music fans to take part in the upcoming Songwriters at the Lake Music Festival at the resort November 13-15, 2026. Featuring a collection of legendary songwriters, the songs that made them famous, and the stories behind them on eight stages throughout the resort, tickets for the three-day festival are just $129/person and can be purchased at <a href="https://www.lanierislands.com/special-events/songwriter-festival/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.lanierislands.com/special-events/songwriter-festival/</a>.

Liberty Mutual Insurance has awarded A&amp;A Insurance Agency, Inc. a 2026 Make More Happen&trade; Award for its dedication to helping young athletes participate and thrive through its partnership with The Uniform Funding Foundation (TUFF). The award includes a $5,000 donation, which can be doubled to $10,000 through online community support. 
The A&amp;A Insurance Agency&rsquo;s story is featured on the official Make More Happen microsite, <a href="https://www.agentgiving.com/aa-insurance-agency" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://www.agentgiving.com/aa-insurance-agency</a>, where supporters can vote to help unlock the full $10,000 donation. If the story receives at least 750 combined votes and comments, the $5,000 award will be doubled. The additional funding would help provide complete uniform packages for youth football and cheer programs and expand TUFF&rsquo;s reach to additional underserved communities. 
The Uniform Funding Foundation provides uniforms and equipment to underfunded youth athletic programs, helping boys and girls in soccer, basketball, football, track, and cheerleading participate and thrive regardless of their family&rsquo;s financial situation. TUFF&rsquo;s work helps make sports more inclusive, equitable, and meaningful for kids across the country. 
That mission has long resonated with A&amp;A Insurance Agency Principal Louie Abdou, whose agency has supported TUFF since 2019 through year-round fundraising and hands-on volunteer efforts. A&amp;A Insurance Agency participates in multiple uniform donation events each year, helping deliver brand-new uniforms to young athletes who might otherwise have to compete in mismatched or worn gear. 
&ldquo;A&amp;A Insurance Agency chose to support TUFF because we believe every child deserves the chance to play, compete, and belong,&rdquo; said Louie Abdou, Principal of A&amp;A Insurance Agency. &ldquo;Sports teach discipline, teamwork, and resilience, but too many youth athletes are sidelined simply because they can&rsquo;t afford a uniform. TUFF&rsquo;s mission aligns directly with our commitment to strengthening the communities we serve.&rdquo; 
That commitment has created memorable moments throughout the partnership, including surprise deliveries that allow children to receive new uniforms without advance notice. One especially meaningful event came when the team helped deliver uniforms to a youth football program that had been practicing in mismatched gear. Watching the kids light up as they received uniforms with their names on them reminded the agency why this work matters. 
For the A&amp;A Insurance Agency team, supporting TUFF means helping ensure that financial hardship does not prevent young athletes from experiencing the confidence, pride, teamwork, and sense of belonging that come from participating in sports. 
&ldquo;Recognizing independent agents&rsquo; dedication to their communities and nonprofit partners is what the Make More Happen Awards are all about,&rdquo; said Steven Mansfield, Senior Territory Manager, Liberty Mutual Insurance. &ldquo;A&amp;A Insurance Agency, Inc. commitment to The Uniform Funding Foundation demonstrates the meaningful difference local businesses can make in helping remove financial barriers and ensuring more young athletes have the opportunity to play, compete, and belong.&rdquo; 
Throughout 2026, Liberty Mutual Insurance will select up to 36 independent agencies nationwide for a Make More Happen Award, donating up to $360,000 to nonprofits they support. Agencies become eligible for the award by submitting applications that highlight their commitment to a specific cause.

All three of the new plans we&rsquo;ve added achieve something our original plans did not.

Lanier Islands Resort Unveils a Packed Fall Calendar of Lakeside Events

After the sale of its original haunting grounds and a two-year hiatus, the <a href="http://www.bufordtrailofterror.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Buford Trail of Terror</a> is back and more bloodcurdling than ever with a new address along the shores of Lake Lanier. First launched in 2017, as screams spread throughout metro Atlanta, the number of thrill-seekers rapidly grew from 50 to at-capacity crowds of well over 1000 people a night. From its new location at 7650 Lanier Islands Parkway, the haunted house SLASH open-air experience and its 50 restless spirits will be primed and ready to rattle the nerves of even larger crowds than the Trail could previously accommodate. The first night of frights for the 2026 season kicks off Saturday, September 26, and runs rampant on select nights through Saturday, November 7.
Created by Matthew Miller, owner of Matthew&rsquo;s &amp; Co. Salon in Flowery Branch, the Buford Trail of Terror was spawned from his love of Stephen King novels and his roots as a Junior Tucker Lion. In 1993, Miller had the chance to participate in Tucker Youth Football League&rsquo;s rendition of its own Trail of Terror, and it left an indelible mark. In the 24 years in between that fateful night and the debut of the <a href="http://www.bufordtrailofterror.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Buford Trail of Terror</a>, he conjured up a variety of ways to create one of the scariest haunted houses in the state of Georgia. Miller regularly participates in continuing education to help him craft a cavalcade of creatures, and he enlists the aid of his stylists, makeup artists, and local artisans to design the hair, makeup, and costumes for dozens of professional actors he hires each year. All those efforts have not gone unnoticed. The Buford Trail of Terror has been recognized with several Haunt Junkies&rsquo; Golden Ghost Awards.
Miller promises his previous guests haven&rsquo;t seen anything yet: &ldquo;Lake Lanier already has its own air of mystique and catalog of local legends. The setting helped inspire new concepts and creatures, like pirates, vikings, mermaids, sirens, and more. Our new location also provides excellent infrastructure with plenty of parking, great food and drinks, restrooms, and live entertainment for our guests &ndash; either while they wait in line or after they&rsquo;ve survived the Trail. There will be quality in every aspect, but &ndash; most importantly &ndash; it will still be scary.&rdquo;
Miller strongly recommends that visitors to the <a href="http://www.bufordtrailofterror.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Buford Trail of Terror</a> be 16 or older, unless accompanied by an adult. Guests should expect to trek through 13 spine-tingling scenes, some of which will involve walking on sand. Additional disclaimers for the Trail can be found on the website at <a href="https://bufordtrailofterror.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">BufordTrailofTerror.com</a>. He also suggests that guests <a href="https://bufordtrailofterror.com/tickets" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">purchase their tickets online</a>. By doing so, the Lanier Islands Resort gate fee will be included in the ticket price. Those who wait to purchase tickets at the door will be subject to the $20 gate fee/vehicle. Regular admission to the Buford Trail of Terror is $34.99 for individuals and $24.99/person for groups of 15 or more.

Join us for an immersive day-long experience offering multiple pathways to process grief through cultural, somatic &amp; integrative practices.
Grief is one of the most universal human experiences and one of the least supported.
In a culture that moves quickly and prizes resilience as the absence of pain, many of us have learned to carry our losses quietly, tucking them into the edges of daily life. Over time, unwitnessed grief doesn't simply fade. It settles into the body, shapes our nervous system, and influences how we relate to ourselves and to the people around us.
This retreat offers something different. A day to pause, to understand, to be gently held by practices that speak to your entire being-your body, your mind, your heart, and your spirit. SIGNUP:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/life-after-grief-retreata-sacred-day-of-clarity-understanding-tickets-1987098156076#location" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">eventbrite.com/e/life-after-grief-retreata-sacred-day-of-clarity-understanding-tickets-1987098156076#location</a>
Whether you are grieving a person, a relationship, a dream, a diagnosis, a pregnancy, or a version of yourself you once knew — you are welcome here, exactly as you are. Come seeking clarity about what you've been experiencing. Come for insight into how grief moves through us. Come simply to rest in a community that understands this terrain without needing you to explain it.
When grief is witnessed...... when it is gently moved through the body and tended within safe community — neuroscience shows us that the nervous system begins to shift. The chronic activation of stress responses softens. New neural pathways open. What felt frozen begins, slowly, to move....here our grief can begin to take shape and meaning.
Ancient healing traditions understood this long before modern research confirmed it. We do not heal in isolation. We heal in relationship with ourselves, with our bodies, witnessing one another, and with something larger than our individual stories.
This day weaves together somatic practice, sound medicine, creative expression, neuroscience, ancestral ritual wisdom, and the quiet power of compassionate community...offering multiple pathways so you can follow what feels most nourishing and true for you.
There is no right way to move through this day. There is no place you should be by now. There is only this moment, this space, and a warm invitation to receive what you need.
