5K and Fun Run Races
Run through the beautiful and challenging Candler Park neighborhood as we kick off Fall Fest. Starting Saturday morning (9/29) at 9:00am (registration begins at 7:30) the 5K will kick off, followed by the 1 mile Fun Run at 10 a.m.
Tour of Homes
On Sept. 30 from 12 to 6 p.m. you’ll be able to view a wonderful collection of residences to view that will illustrate several of the values we share as a community.
One of the homes has been rebuilt incorporating several aspects of sustainable living. They recycled many items of the previous structure, installed pecan floors created from a tree which grew in their backyard and included various natural elements in the construction of stone walls, all resulting in a stylish, spacious, comfortable, contemporary living space.
Many of the homes will display their significant art collections, much created by local artists. Of course, we also consider our gardens part of the art world, so stay alert to the many forms of gardening that have been created. You may even notice that some of us have eliminated grass entirely from our landscapes.
Be alert! Rumor has it that there may be a culinary treat or two at some of your stops. What would a Tour of Homes be without a surprise or two?
Artists Market
Open 11:00 am to 7:00 pm Saturday and Sunday, the Fall Fest Artist Market is full of local artist and vendors that have been carefully curated just for you! With over 200+ booths, there is something for everyone!
