Coweta and Fayette counties have always been home to high-caliber talent and entertainment. Premier amphitheaters draw internationally acclaimed acts and local venues feature the incredible talents of our own highly skilled dancers, singers and actors. Recently, theres been a new entertainment energy moving into the area, and the Guide to Coweta & Fayette County has been updating residents and visitors about it over the past five years. These exciting changes have not only enhanced our cultural and artistic scenery, they also continue to impact the landscapes of the local business, real estate and education communities. Just about everyone knows that Senoia and Coweta County is home to survivors of a zombie apocalypse, and, of course, zombies. Its all part of the town of Senoias alternate identity of Woodbury, home to AMCs The Walking Dead series. The horror drama has been airing since 2010, and was just renewed for a fifth season. The Walking Dead is more than just popularits the most watched drama in basic cable history and the number one show among the adult age group 18-49. The mid-season premiere on February 9, 2014 out-performed the Sochi Winter Olympics among 18-49 year olds. The Talking Dead aftershow, hosted by Chris Hardwick, aired right after the Walking Dead premiere and drew a record 5.9 million total viewers. For many of the millions of Walking Dead fans, a visit to Senoia is a must. People come from all across the country and all around the world to walk on the streets of Woodbury. Visitors can find Walking Dead memorabilia throughout Senoia, and official merchandise at the Woodbury Shoppe on Main Street. They can even book a zombie tour. In fact, there are two zombie tours offered

by Atlanta Movie Tours that guide visitors to sets of The Walking Dead and the zombie comedy Zombieland, as well as other film sites. The Walking Dead isnt the only TV show shot locally. The Lifetime hit Drop Dead Diva, starring Brooke Elliott, Margaret Cho and Jackson Hurst, films in Peachtree City. The show centers around a thin, self-centered model who dies prematurely. Her soul returns to Earth in the body of a plus-size, loving and hard-working lawyer. It debuted in 2009 and Season 6 is set to premiere this March. Two studio complexes bring film crews to the area. Raleigh StudiosAtlanta, formerly known as Riverwood Studios, has four sound stages and offers a full range of production services. Its location in Senoia also gives it easy access to the towns Main Street, which welcomes filmmakers, as well as the Gin Property, a community of residences built to be used as a back lot for the studio. Pinewood Atlanta Studios recent move into Fayette County adds five cutting-edge sound stages, in addition to the many support businesses that are springing up. All of this continues to make the area more and more attractive to the entertainment industry.

the state very appealing. The mild climate, variety of landscapes, and friendly business community also help. Georgias Camera Ready Communities program smooths the way for TV and film production companies by connecting them with skilled county liaisons who provide local expertise and support. Coweta County was one of the original 16 Georgia counties to achieve the Camera Ready designation and Fayette County was not far behind As Coweta Countys Camera Ready liaison, Im the point of contact for production companies interested in filming in the county, says Tray Baggarly, director of Event Services for Coweta County. I help with general information, finding

locations, permitting, pointing them in the right direction and getting them in touch with the people they need to talk to locally. My job is to make it easy for them and having one point of contact helps do just that. Fayette County is also a Camera Ready Community. Our goal is to position Fayette County as the epicenter for film in Georgia and being Camera Ready is just a basic step down that path, says Matt Forshee, President of the Fayette County Development Authority (FCDA). Forshee also serves as Fayette Countys Camera Ready Liaison and has recently created a marketing effort focused on film companies called FilmFayette. Being Camera Ready means your community is ready to assist

when productions come calling. Through FilmFayette, we intend to be proactive in showcasing that Fayette has all the assets necessary, from studios to film businesses and crew to locations and educational opportunities. The Peachtree City Convention and Visitors Bureau has the Southern Hollywood Film Tour that departs from the Convention and Visitors Bureau that visit sites where the scenes were shot in Peachtree City and Senoia. Even the Atlanta Regional Airport (formerly Falcon Field) rolls out the red carpet for the film makers and the actors corporate jets by providing transportation to local hotels, and other venues.

Nestled on nearly 500 acres in the farmlands of Fayetteville, Georgia, Camp Southern Ground, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, is the passion-project of GRAMMY Award winning artist Zac Brown. Its mission is to operate a camp to allow children to overcome academic, social and emotional difficulties so they may reach their full potential and to provide the tools necessary to achieve excellence in all facets of their lives.

Inspired by his own experience as a camp counselor, Zacs vision is to create a state-of-the-art facility that will serve children ages 7-17 with both typical and special needs. It will be a place for children and their families to learn healthy life skills through an advance program involving superior nutrition, physical exercise, and the latest practices in therapy-all administered by a knowl-edgeable staff. Zac has long recog-nized the necessity for every child to have access to the best resources to grow and succeed. Camp Southern Ground will have activities to challenge, educate and inspire children with diverse abilities, and from all socioeconomic backgrounds, races and religions.

Among the many traditional camp activities that will foster youth de-velopment and create teachable moments for campers, plans are in place to align certain elements of the facility with the latest innova-tive therapies and technology for those children affected by neurobe-havioral disorders. In particular, As-perger syndrome, Tourette syndrome and autism spectrum disorders, as well as learning differences such as ADD/ADHD and dyslexia. The target date for opening Camp Southern Ground, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, is 2016. Everyone is welcome to help get the camp up and running. Visit Camp-SouthernGround.org to learn more about becoming a supporter.

VISUAL ARTS TAKE CENTRE STAGE

On Lower Fayetteville Road in Newnan, the Centre for the Performing & Visual Arts brings a high level of culture from around the world right into our own backyard. Most residents and visitors come to the Centre to enjoy the outstanding plays, dance troupes, and concerts. Upcoming highlights include the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the national tour production of Driving Miss Daisy, and a selection of works by Andy Warhol. What many people may not know is that several internationally known painters and sculptors are represented at the Centre. After a major art show in 2006, world-renowned artist Bruno Zupan donated a watercolor, Venice: View from Guidecca, to start the Centres collection. Franoise Gilot, a noted French artist, displays her ground-breaking monotype at the Centre as well. Two of Gilots rare floating paintings hang in the lobby of the CentreThe Seed, which she gifted to the Centre, and Premonition which was purchased by Centre patrons. While all of the artists whose work graces the Centre are world-class talents, a surprising number of them live in the Coweta and Fayette county area. Anne Berry, nationally acclaimed fine art photographer, focuses on animals to get people to truly look at them, to hear their inner sound and to consider their value and their place in the world. The Centre will exhibit her work January 2015. David Boyd Jr specializes in Southern Impressionism, and uses his plein air work as ways to capture feelings. His subjects include cars, trucks and tractors, which incite a strong nostalgia in him. Marc Chatov, who lives in north Atlanta, was born

into a family of artists. He uses his love of color and a strong knowledge of drawing and anatomy to produce compelling portraits. Carol Harless is a nationally recognized sculptor who captures moments of excellence in bronze. Her sculpture Eight Measures Away, based on South Korean violinist Chee-Yun, is one of the Centres jewels. Georgie Dunn splits her time between teaching fine art at East Coweta High School and producing a range of highly imaginative art for the commercial market. Millie Gosch uses a limited palette of primary colors, and says she expresses her love of nature in her plein air oil paintings. My favorite subjects are big open fields, sunrises, sunsets, trees, the lowcountry, and the

southland. RL Hughey Jr and Deborah McNeil are the sculptors responsible for two large, metal pieces: Wheres My Hammer, which incorporates tool shapes into the form of a chair, and an enormous violin that invites visitors

to listen to the music it makes. Martin Pate, Newnan artist and long-time exhibitor at the Centre, is nationally recognized for his historical mural compositions, some of which were commissioned by the National Park Service.

Elsa Sibley painted children portraits in Atlanta throughout the 80s and 90s. In 2000, she returned to her love of landscape painting, and lately, shes enjoyed a renewed interest of contemporary art and working in watercolor.

GrnHaus studio

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Tyrone, all 4,000 square feet of GrnHaus Studio is alive with creativity and imagination. Two artists, Vikki Weigel and Helena Marette, fill the open spaces with beautiful contemporary artwork that is created on-site. Weigel is an intuitive painter and mixed media artist whose work is vibrant with color and whimsy. Her award-winning work is sold and collected throughout the US, Japan and Germany, and is licensed with Paragon, a national art distributor. In 2002, she was the first commissioned Featured Artist for the Stone Mountain Yellow Daisy Festival. Marette creates fine art jewelry as well as delightful felted creations.

She exhibits her work in galleries and juried shows in Georgia and has demonstrated her hand-felting techniques on the HGTV show Crafters Coast to Coast. Helenas artwork is published in Candie Coopers Felted Jewelry released by Lark Books. Weigel and Marette design and create art and decor for wholesale and retail markets as well as on site sales at the studio. The GrnHaus camps, workshops, and socials encourage creative development and handmade living for preteens, teens and adults. GrnHaus also offers creative art camps for children that include painting, felt making, paper making, natural weaving and mixed media.

Twice a year, in spring and fall, everyone is invited to amble along downtown Newnan and enjoy the beautiful scenery, and were not just talking about the landscaping and architectural delights. Local artists display their works at various downtown locations, and are on hand to discuss their techniques. Everything from oil painting and photography to jewelry-making and pottery is featured. Of course, visitors are encouraged to purchase whatever treasures they find. The 2014 Spring Art Walk will be held on Friday, March 21, from 5 to 9pm, and the Fall Art Walk on Friday, September 19, 5 to 9pm.

In November 2013, ten Fayette County artists invited the public into their studios in Fayetteville, Tyrone and Peachtree City for the first annual Art Studio Tour. The artists demonstrated their talents in a variety of art media that included wood, ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, acrylics and mixed media. The artists welcomed their guests with foodeverything from hot soup and cider to dips and desserts. The self-guided tour ran for the entire day, and only cost $5 for a wristband that gave access to all nine studios. Visitors not only got a rare chance to see what goes on behind the scenes in the studios, they

also were able to purchase some of the artists masterpieces, for gifts and for themselves. More than a few people were inspired and signed up for classes and workshops. Andrea Faye Boswell gathered a select group of her artist friends to participate in the first studio tour. This year, the 2014 Art Studio Tour is scheduled as a two-day eventSaturday, Nov 15 from 9am to 5pm, and Sunday, Nov 16 from12noon to 5pm. Boswell reported that, currently, all the art studios from the 2013 tour will be returning. She hopes to attract new artists with mediums such as painting, photography, mosaics, etc. Every artist had a very positive

experience and was surprised that so many people attended, Boswell stated. The artists and attending guests requested that the tour last for two days. Were happy to oblige.

This year, those names include Kansas, Jefferson Starship, Temptations, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap and the Charlie Daniels Band. According to Brian Wismer, Director of Community Development at Main Street Fayetteville and Southern Ground Amphitheater, Southern Ground has been receiving a lot of interest from other promoters,

so everyone should watch for some additional concerts outside of the series this year. Top-rated professional actors grace the stage of The Legacy Theatre in Tyrone. The 2014 season includes the popular classics Music Man and Chicago on the main stage, and The Adventures of Brer Rabbit in its Children Series.

Also in Newnan, the Centre for Performing & Visual Arts brings in some of the countrys premier dance troupes, theater productions and concerts. Since its affiliated with Coweta County schools, students can take advantage of master classes, actually taught by the masters, and also use the stage to present their own performances. And that brings us to the schools. Fayette and Coweta county schools have superb art, music and theater departments; they regularly put on shows that wow the community. Music and dance are all around us here! Tony Byrd and Neal Wauchope are regulars at the Georgia Shrimp Co. in Peachtree City, where smooth jazz is a main feature.

For starters, the department manages the citys 90+ miles of multi-use paths that invite residents and visitors to walk, run and cycle. There are also year-round pools, picnic areas, paths, boat ramps, a skateboard ramp and a BMX track. Throughout the year, the Recreation Department offers residents a full-range of classes, athletics, aquatics and special

events at the citys many recreational facilities. Summer camps for kids fill up fast, and with good reason. There are a lot to choose from, like basketball, swimming and volleyball sports camps and Spanish, Lego, theater and Color Guard creative camps. Theres a new level of cooperation in sports venues in Fayette County. Organized by the Peachtree City Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Peachtree-Fayette Sports Alliance (PFSA) brings together representatives from Peachtree City, Tyrone and unincorporated Fayette County. Their goal is to work together to maximize the use of the countys sports facilities and attract larger sporting events. In Coweta County, the Recreation Department manages parks, pools, community centers and sports fields throughout the county. The Hunter Complex in Sharpsburg and Temple

Avenue Complex in Newnan feature sports fields and tennis courts. Coweta County residents have a full roster of recreation opportunities, too.

Fitness & Health

There are a lot of reasons to get active. When you take steps and walk or run regularly, you strengthen your heart and bones, keep your weight down, tone your muscles, improve your mood, sharpen your mind and increase your energy. Thats a lot of benefits! If you have a competitive streak, check out the scheduled races in the area. Youll find out that, in many cases, walking and running do double duty. Youll reap the health rewards while worthwhile organizations collect donations from sponsors. Those charitable gifts help groups that provide health and support services, like the Alzheimers Association and March of Dimes. So you could say that walking and running improve the wellness of your

whole community! The mild climate, protected green space and path system attract active people to the area, and encourage others to become active. Groups have sprung up to help people keep going, stay fit and improve their skills. The Peachtree City Running Club (PTCRC) was started in 1981 and has grown to become the second largest running club in the metro Atlanta area. Members of all ages and from all walks of life meet to support each other as they run along the paths of Peachtree City. The club is involved with the annual Peachtree City Classic 5K/15K and Peachtree City Marathon Relay, monthly Club Grand Prix races, as well as the Peachtree City Rotary Club Elementary Grand Prix Race Series and Summer Track

Series. Intense runners who want to push their endurance levels and hone their skills have been known to cross over to the dark sideDarkside Running Club, that is. Since 2002, the Darkside Running Club has been finding new and creative ways to expand the running horizons of its membersways like the Running Dead Ultra 50/50 in Senoia, the annual Darkside 8-Hour Run in Moreland and the annual Peachtree City 50K and 25K. Darkside Club members include race founders and directors, running club presidents and founders, fast and slow veteran runners and ultramarathoners, as well as novice runners. The members encourage and push one another to their limits, and that keeps the sport fresh and exciting for everyone. Women looking for a free running club designed to support and motivate them find it in Moms RUN This Town (MRTT). The club is open to all women, not just mothers, who have a passion for staying fit and healthy. Local chapters meet throughout Fayette and Coweta counties. Athletes who like to add variety to their challenges are invited to join the triathlons in Peachtree City and Newnan. Racers run on land, swim in lakes and pedal on bicycles for a well-rounded workout and intense

competition. There are several levels, from a Triathlon (1500 meter swim, 25.4 mile bike ride and 10K run) to a SuperSprint (300 yard swim, 8 mile bike ride and 2 mile run). Fun is an important aspect of many of the races and events. While runners compete, families come together to cheer them on and enjoy the day. Some of the family-friendly events include the Walk to End Alzheimers, the Peachtree City Rotary Club Elementary Grand Prix Race Series, Sunrise on the Square and the Shamrock Run. The Elementary Grand Prix Race

Series was developed in partnership between PTCRC and the Peachtree City Rotary Club. The series not only addresses childhood obesity by introducing Peachtree City and Fayette County elementary school students and their families to the sport of running, it also raises money for their schools. Since the Elementary Grand Prix races began, in 2005, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised by the participants for the schools, but the greatest impact is on the individuals who participate and become life-long runners.

The Newnan Junior Service League sponsors an annual Shamrock Run, held in Downtown Newnan, to raise funds for a variety of charities with local ties, including the Newnan-Coweta Lions Club, American Red Cross and Ronald McDonald House. Not only is there a 10K course for competitive runners, but the entire family is encouraged to participate in the 5K. Little runners take a few laps around the Courthouse in the Leprechaun Dash, and dogs and strollers are welcome. Note: See pages 35 and 36 for Calendar of Running Events.

HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CAREResidents of Fayette and Coweta counties have the security of knowing theyre perfectly located to receive some of the best quality healthcare available in the nation.

Emory Healthcare Emory at Sharpsburg and Emory at Peachtree City are two of the 20 nearby locations in the Southern Crescent, but they connect to a network of six hospitals and 1,800 physicians. Emory Healthcare, the largest healthcare system in Georgia, brings together a full range of hospitals, clinics and local practices.

Physicians in the Emory network range from primary to specialty care providers. As part of its commitment to providing patients and families with better, more collaborative care for all of their medical needs, Emory Healthcare has a team of researchers discovering whats next in medicine. Their physicians and care teams put that research to use to improve the health of the community today.

Piedmont Healthcare Piedmont Healthcare has been serving patients in the Atlanta area for over 100 years. As its grown, the healthcare system has brought

its premier services to people in the Southern Crescent. Piedmont Fayette, a 172-bed community hospital, and Piedmont Newnan, a 136-bed state-of the art hospital, are each centrally located in their counties. Both hospitals have achieved accreditation as a Chest Pain Center from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, an international not-for-profit organization that focuses on transforming cardiovascular care by assisting facilities to create communities of excellence. In addition to the two hospitals, Piedmont also has 14 Primary Care physician locations throughout Coweta and Fayetteand Piedmont Immediate Care in Fayetteville. We treat patients who cant wait until the next day for treatment, but are not necessarily severe enough to be seen in the emergency room, says Dingan Baruti, MD, medical director of the Piedmont Immediate Care.

abrasions; allergic reactions; animal bites; bladder infections; cough, cold or sore throat; minor burns; and much more. Cancer Wellness at Piedmont is available in Coweta and Fayette, as well as Fulton and Henry counties, thanks to generous donors like former Equifax Chairman & CEO Thomas F. Chapman and his wife Karen. They recently funded the creation of a 3,400-square-foot facility for Cancer Wellness at Piedmont Newnan Hospital. Piedmonts interdisciplinary approach involves a team of cancer specialists including board-certified oncologists, a dedicated oncology nursing unit, surgeons, accredited technicians and nutritionists. The specialists collaborate to create a personal treatment plan based on each patients unique situation.

The Womens Specialists of Fayette While its not surprising that The Womens Specialists of Fayette focuses on the healthcare needs of women, it can be surprising to learn

about their wide range of obstetrical and gynecological services that includes annual exams, biopsies, genetic counseling and surgeries. Our physicians specialize in single site laparoscopic hysterectomies, states Michele Brandt, Practice Administrator at The Womens Specialists of Fayette. One small incision is created in the navel. She explains that some of the benefits of single site hysterectomies are that the outpatient procedure is less expensive, has a faster recovery time and leaves no scarring. Obstetrical services at The Womens Specialists of Fayette include care for high-risk pregnancies (including multiples), advanced maternal age and coexisting medical conditions. Patients can also take advantage of 3D/4D ultrasounds to determine babies genders and fetal photos. We have no mid-level providers, so our patients are guaranteed the services of our Board Certified or Board Eligible providers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Brandt says.

And Piedmont Fayettes Labor & Delivery and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit are only steps away from our office.

A New Dimension Baby Dimensions offers parents the first glimpse of their little ones with 3D ultrasounds, right in their comfortable Newnan office. Stacey Livingston, an ARDMS-registered ultrasonographer, has over 24 years of ultrasound experience and loves working with people. She says that at 15 weeks, its 100% possible to know the gender of the child. Clients get 3D images emailed to them, and also receive a discount to return and do a Bigger Baby imaging at 29 weeks or so. Baby Dimensions uses the GE Voluson 730 Expert in their state-of-the-art studio so expecting moms and dads can see their babies with crystal clear vision. Men and women with abdominal issues who need diagnostic exams are also invited to get their ultrasounds done in the offices warm, friendly atmosphere.

Education

Fayette and Coweta county schools are dedicated to the success of their students. With that in mind, new programs are being developed and present education systems are being improved to help students excel in the present and future economy. The film and television industries are booming in Fayette and Coweta counties, thanks to Pinewood Atlanta and Raleigh StudiosAtlanta. More and more jobs are becoming available, and the big question is whether there will be enough trained professionals to fill those jobs. Schools and universities in the Coweta and Fayette region are all ready with the answer.

CECS BROADCAST VIDEO PROGRAM Central Education Center (CEC) in Newnan has remained focused on its original and current missionto ensure a viable 21st century workforce. Among classes and programs that CEC continues to develop is its Broadcast Video program. The program is taught by an Emmy Silver Circle inductee and now produces weekly local cable TV programming for the community in its partnership with NuLink.

The Broadcast Video program produces high school students who are being hired as professionals in the industry. Last year, two CEC Broadcast Video students became the first high school students in the southeast to receive awards from the Emmy organization for community cable TV they had created, developed, produced, edited and aired, while high school students. Recently, CEC was re-affirmed as Georgias model Charter College and Career Academy when it was named as Lt. Governor Cagles inaugural College and Career Academy of the Year. There are now 30 such schools either developing or opened across Georgia, and CEC was the first. CEC is always working to develop even more robust internship and apprenticeship opportunities

for its students, including those in Broadcast Video. Last year, 380 students benefitted from intern and apprentice opportunities provided by 225 employers in the area.

OPPORTUNITIES ALSO ABOUND AT GMC GMC (Georgia Military College) is one of the forward-looking schools that offers joint enrollment to talented high school students. Rising juniors and seniors who are on track for graduation and meet the requirements can take college courses at GMC while continuing their high school studies. Just 20 minutes from Peachtree City and Newnan, GMC is a two-year liberal arts junior college that gives area residents the opportunity to

E


get a great higher education nearby. The learning based college offers daytime, evening and online courses. GMC is committed to making quality education affordable, with reasonably priced classes and book charges included in the tuition fees.

FAYETTE COLLEGE & CAREER ACADEMY Georgias College & Career Academies are unique learning environments that enable local communities to focus their educational resources on partnerships with public schools, local industry and technical colleges and universities. The planned Fayette College & Career Academy is currently gaining support, says Peachtree City Councilwoman Kim Learnard. She says that 29 counties in Georgia are already using the College and Career Academy model, including Coweta, Henry and Newton counties. The Central Education Center (CEC) in Newnan is a prime example.

College & Career Academy benefits reach all across the community. Students can get hands on experience for different careers, everything from construction and welding to healthcare and culinary artsand they graduate with a bright future. Local businesses and industries can find workers right in the area, so they, and the community, become more stable and self-sustaining.

CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITYS DIGITAL FILM TECHNICIAN PROGRAMClayton State University has begun preparing residents with its Digital Film Technician program. My vision is for Clayton State University to become the leader in providing training in digital content for the industry, says Janet Winkler, Executive Director of the Center for Continuing Education (CE) at Clayton State University.
