1. Savoy Automobile Museum's 'The Connection' Car Show Returns September 12 With 350 Show Cars (motorious.com) — Cartersville's Savoy Automobile Museum is gearing up for its biggest annual fundraiser, The Connection Car Show, on September 12, with 350 show cars and full museum access included for spectators. A limited-space cruise through northwest Georgia kicks things off September 11, and there are still sponsorship options plus detailed ticket information available through the museum.
2. Pagan Community Notes: Week of September 3, 2026 (wildhunt.org) — Right in Cartersville, new research at the Etowah site has uncovered the first direct DNA evidence that Mississippian people here consumed cacao over 800 years ago. The finding suggests ancient residents participated in long-distance trade and used cacao in important communal ceremonies, reshaping what we know about Cartersville's deep Indigenous history.
3. Thursday's local high school softball action (daily-tribune.com) — Cartersville High's softball team stayed perfect in Region 7-5A with a 5-2 road win over Allatoona, powered by a five-run second inning and strong pitching. Local rivals Cass and Woodland also picked up key region victories, with several upcoming matchups in Cartersville giving fans chances next week to catch the teams at home.
4. Section 232 price floors on solar wafers set a $100-per-kilogram threshold the US barely produces (gcn.com) — New federal tariffs and price floors on solar materials could reshape how companies source wafers, cells, and modules, and they spotlight Qcells' expanding factory in Cartersville, which now makes solar cells on-site. The plant is currently the only U.S. facility producing everything from ingots to finished panels under one roof, potentially positioning Cartersville as a bigger player in the country's solar supply chain.
