This weekend will feature some great deals, a bit of drama and plenty of fresh produce as Troup County enjoys a few more warm days before the temperatures begin to cool.
The Junior Service League will get the weekend off to a strong start with its highly anticipated, 43rd annual Attic Sale. The event will fill West Georgia Technical College’s Callaway Auditorium with a wide array of interesting objects ranging from second hand items to crafty home décor.

The Friends of the Library will also host their First Saturday Book Shop at LaGrange Memorial Library from 2 to 5 p.m.
Drama to fill weekend
LaGrange College will host a performance of Little Women the Musical at Price Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.

For homeschoolers seeking something fun and a bit dramatic, LaGrange Piano will host a Drama Club kick-off at 1691 Vernon Road from 10 a.m. to noon. The group will focus on homeschool students, but students who are not homeschooled may join at the discretion of the club director.

Pure Life Studios will host an Atlanta based comedy group known as the Flying Giants at 7:30 p.m. The group plans to perform a standup, sketch comedy and improv show called Busting Out that is sure to entertain.
