The 14th annual Bear on the Square Mountain Festival will be an incredible weekend of music and art held in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains on April 16-18, 2010. During that weekend, old time and bluegrass music will fill the Historic Public Square in Dahlonega. There will be on-stage performances by local, regional, and national musicians on Saturday and Sunday, and a juried artist's marketplace features traditional mountain art and crafts. Extensive music workshops, a Sunday morning Gospel Jam, a Saturday night street dance, a live country auction on Friday night, family activities, and food complete the offerings. For more info go to www.bearonthesquare.org.
This is the latest You Tube video to go viral--and with good reason. The dad who filmed it writes: "So my 3 year old. He apparently loves the song Single Ladies by Beyonce. Little did I know how much he loves that song. I was simply making a point that he, in fact, is not a single lady. I thought he would laugh and keep singing...Man was I wrong."

Play in the Dirt
Check out the Spring Plant Sale at the North Hall High School greenhouse. It's going on 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-April 16, April 19-21 and 26-30. There are flowering plants, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage and broccoli. Prices range from $1.50-$9.00. The school is located at 4885 Mount Vernon Road.
Chances are you’ve heard a lot about eating local, organic or farm-fresh food. There’s a reason for that: Sustainable produce is great for your health, community and sometimes even your wallet. Unlike food that's been shipped across the country, local food is at the peak of its freshness and flavor. Vegetables, fruit or meat shipped from far away lands also often come with transportation costs tacked to your bill.
The Gainesville Theatre Alliance Discovery Series presents "Little Women," featuring GTA senior Marissa Druzbanski.
Old-fashioned in the best possible way, Little Women makes a good complement to Wicked for those trying to entice a younger audience to the delights of the musical theatre. Louisa May Alcott's classic tale of family solidarity --especially the powerful bond between sisters-- evokes memories of curling up with Alcott's novel to read breathlessly of the adventures in love and destiny for Jo March and her three sisters.
Performances are 7:30 p.m. April 17-19 at the Hosch Theatre in the John S. Burd Center for the Performing Arts, 429 Academy St. Admission is free.
The cast includes long-time N2N friend, Sherry Franklin. Break a leg, Sherry!

Trivia learned while researching something else
What does it mean when a British friend says "Shall I be Mother?"
This would happen when the family sits down to a pot of tea or a slice of cake and someone needs to pour or cut for everyone. Whoever gets to do the honors (or, rather, honours) is being "Mother". Now, class, try to use this phrase in a sentence this week...
