Where There's a Wheel, There's a Way


We all live extremely busy lives with the pressures of everyday life all around us, yet I see examples charity and love from people all around me who are willing to do more for those who have extreme struggles or are less fortunate.   Eric Letbetter is one of those people willing to do more and this is his story therefore I thought it and the Atlanta based Kyle Pease Foundation stories needed to be told.

Dunwoody Butterfly Festival is Today - a don't miss children's event!



25th Annual Butterfly Festival
Saturday, August 11th
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
 
Address: 5343 Roberts Drive, Dunwoody, Georgia 30338
The Dunwoody Nature Center's annual Butterfly Festival is Saturday, August 11th from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. This year’s festival will take place on the 22-acre campus of the Nature Center and will again feature three butterfly tents that will enable guests to have a longer, less crowded experience surrounded by hundreds of live butterflies in each tent. In addition to the three butterfly tents, guests will be entertained all day with games, crafts, animal encounters and discovery stations throughout the park. Guests can participate in a nature scavenger hunt and find hidden treasures within Dunwoody Park; get their faces painted like a butterfly; and enjoy live music, a birds of prey show, and other entertainment all day long. On-site concessions will ensure guests stay well-fed, and the festival’s signature “larval lemonade,” along with other ice cold treats, will keep everyone happy and cool during the day.
Tickets the day of the festival are $10 for adults and $5 for children. Capacity for the butterfly tents is limited and once all of the entry times for the tents are allotted, admission will be for the festival grounds only.
Off-site shuttle service will be regularly available throughout the day to bring guests to the park; and staggered, timed entry to the butterfly tent will keep lines moving. As always, this year’s festival will also feature a special sneak preview and early admission for members only beginning at 9:00 a.m.
