It has been six years since the Banks County class of 2003 graduated and for some, what was a hobby then has become much more now.

Other Side of Homer (O.S.H.), a local band that specializes in an acoustic southern rock style, started forming 10 years ago when Rusty Cheek and David McWhorter began playing music together.

Since that time and the start and dissolving of several bands and a stint in the Air Force by McWhorter, the addition of lead guitarist Zach Shirley brought about the creation of O.S.H. in Jan. 2009. [Full Story »]

For 7-year-old Jake Myler, the best part of his visit to Stone Mountain Park was playing in The Barn. He loved running and climbing and throwing the balls. His day at the park included several visits to The Barn. As for 8-year old Sarah Minish, she enjoyed taking the skyride to the top of the mountain and seeing the pretty view. She also had fun sitting on the mountain and having a snack with her friends. For me, the best part of the day was watching the joy and excitement Sarah and Jake had as we covered as much ground as possible during our day-long visit to Stone Mountain Park. There is so much to do that you could easily make stretch your visit over several days in order to experience everything. It’s easy to see why Stone Mountain Park is listed in Frommer’s “500 Places to Visit With Your Kids Before They Grow Up.”

Forget about New Orleans. For the best Mardi Gras experience to be found, head to Lake Charles, La. Where else can you attend a Royal Gala and see the elaborate costumes of more than 40 krewes? Where else can you participate in a parade and throw beads to the crowd? Where else can you find a family-friendly Mardi Gras that even offers an alcohol-free zone.
Lake Charles, Louisiana, is the place where you will find all of this and more during the wonderful Mardi Gras season each year. Lake Charles is actually a great place to visit any time of the year. The natural beauty of the area, year-round festivals and gaming are just a few of the things that bring visitors to this portion of Southwest Louisiana each year.
