Kicking off the weekend with something you won't find everywhere. Southern Roots continues to be Henry County's most consistent spot for live entertainment — and Dueling Pianos is one of their best nights. The Andrews Brothers know over 1,500 songs and the audience drives every set. Part concert, part comedy show, all party. If you've never been, this is the one to start with. Strong date night move.

This one needs no convincing. If you haven't been to the Geranium Festival, it's a Henry County rite of passage. If you have, you already know — you're going. This annual arts and crafts celebration has grown from 17 booths at its 1977 debut to over 325 exhibitors today, drawing roughly 25,000 visitors to the Square. Craft vendors offering unique, handmade goods, local food, community business booths, and giveaways. Go early, go hungry, and bring your wallet.

For 60 years, Carrie Mae Hambrick ran the Green Front Café on Second Street in Stockbridge — cooking, feeding neighbors, and holding a piece of this community together. The building sat in rough shape for years after she was gone. Floors buckled. Termites moved in. The roof was one storm away from collapse. Then Diane Miller walked through the door. She didn't buy it to make money. She bought it to protect a piece of Black history that was about to disappear. Her husband Tony Strachan led the renovation, uncovering beautiful wood beneath years of neglect and painting the little wood-frame house green again — just like it looked in the 1940s. Today Tony runs the kitchen, sending out plates of candied yams, greens, and fried fish. On Carrie Mae Hambrick Day, Diane and Tony open those doors wide. Their food joins the food trucks, vendors, and DJ at the block party on Second Street — feeding whoever shows up, no questions asked. All food is free. That was always the way Ms. Mae did it, and it still is.

330 acres, a barn full of activities, and the best homemade strawberry shortcake in Henry County. Southern Belle Farm opens Sunday at 1 PM with their full spring lineup: barnyard rides, pedal carts, jumping pillows, gem mining, the Country Market, and the Bakery. Strawberry picking may be available depending on what's on the vines — always check the banner at the top of their website before you head out. Either way, the farm is open and there's plenty to do. Activity tickets are $17.95 online, $20.95 at the gate. Kids 2 and under are free.
