The Dunaire International Fall Festival - Bringing Our Community Together!

Perfectly cool autumn weather, a very large turnout, and a lot of great organizing made this year's International Fall Festival a fantastic success! A monster-sized bouncy castle, games, face-painting, crafts, and pumpkin decorating kept littlest Dunaireans busy and smiling, while adults enjoyed the sunshine, browsed the yard sale tables, mingled with neighbors, and learned about the community garden. We were lucky enough to have Brian from Ewe-niversally Green set up a petting zoo with goats, chickens, and a bunny rabbit for everyone to to enjoy and interact with.  Our State Representative, Karla Drenner, stopped by to show her support for Dunaire, and to meet our neighbors, and we had some nice visitors from neighboring communities.  

 

This year's added twist was a multi-cultural pot luck, and Dunaireans from all over the world brought wonderful homemade dishes to share.  Dunaire is truly a global village right here in metro Atlanta! 

A most sincere THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered their time, energy, resources, money, and enthusiasm.   YOU ALL make Dunaire an exceptionally great place to call home.

We're already looking forward to next year!

The Dunaire International Fall Festival will take place Saturday, October 29th, from 2 'til 6pm in the Dunaire Community Garden on Cheviot Drive. It'll be a great time for everyone to come out and celebrate the arrival of autumn and some cooler weather.
