Tuesday, December 14, the Noteworthy Show Band of the South will play Christmas music at the Holly. This 40′s – 50′s swing band will provide wonderful music with some vocals thrown in. Plan on a most entertaining evening!
Dr. Mills, DVM, Thompson Creek Animal Hospital, Dawsonville, plays in the band. He contacted PAWS President Dan Bowers with a very interesting proposition. A silent benefactor will make a contribution to PAWS based on the number of tickets sold for the show. With approximately 280 seats available, this will be a great opportunity.
PAWS funds and efforts are necessary for many shelter animals to have a future. Please, encourage your friends and family to purchase tickets:
Ticket price is $15.00.
Show time is 8 pm December 14.
The Holly basement box office is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm.
Tickets can also be purchased on line at www.hollytheater.com, or call 706-864-3759

Lumpkin County is losing out on all taxes from package sales of distilled spirits paid by our residents to other counties. In this economy, when any tax increase faces great opposition, it is unconscionable that Lumpkin County does not benefit from tax that is already being paid by our residents.
“Package sales of distilled spirits” is controlled by GA Code Section 3-4-41. A petition signed by 35% of the registered voters is the only way to have a referendum of the voters to approve package sales. Continue reading »
