UCIG annual Fall Festival

A Fall Festival of Community Services sponsored by the Union County Interagency Group (UCIG) will be held on Saturday, October 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the First Baptist Church in Blairsville. The Festival will be fun and informative for the whole family with exhibits, entertainment, prizes, giveaways, refreshments and more.

The Festival's sponsor, Union County Interagency Group, is comprised of various agencies, ministries, businesses, civic groups and individuals interested in making comprehensive service information and resources on health, education and well-being available to all Union County citizens.

In addition to the many vendors who will have information, exhibits, demonstrations, prizes and give-aways, there will be continuous entertainment. Among the most popular give-away provided by the UCIG each year are bicycle safety helmets. However, there are a limited number of these available, so come early to be sure to get one. The vendors give away candy, cookies, fruit, useful promotional items, and interesting trinkets.

It is not too late to be a vendor. If you interested in show-casing your service agency, business, organization or church or civic group at the Fall Festival, contact Kathy Adams at 706-745-5565 for an application.

UCIG has compiled a master resource list of community services that will be distributed at the festival. UCIG meets the second Wednesday of each month at 12:00 Noon at the Civic Center. For more information, call Anna Gladdin at United Community Bank, 706- 745-2155.
