Today in Decatur-Avondale Estates:

From my notebook:

Due to the surge in COVID cases, the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum needed to move their program with Dr. Jay Wellons with Dr. Hughes Evans, and the Decatur Library Auditorium was able to step in! This marks 18 years to the date that the Georgia Center for the Book and the Jimmy Carter Library jointly hosted the first of many author events. (Georgia Center for the Book at DCPL via Facebook)
Every Sunday is "fun-day" at the Avondale Estates Farmers Market! Stop by for your favorite fruits and vegetables from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at 22 N Avondale Road, Avondale Estates 30002 (in the parking lot of My Parents' Basement). Bring a friend! (Avondale Estates Farmer's Market via Facebook)
