Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 359
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
Each school morning, a very cute community “bike bus” rolls out from Cochran Drive to BIA Charter School. It began with the Finney family riding with their kids (just two bikes and a scooter). Before long, the Knab and Diehl families joined in, and now the bright line of yellow-vested riders is hard to miss. Other BIA families are welcome to be part of this growing tradition! Contact Charlene Finney at casfinney@gmail.com to join the fun.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
British Car Fayre Volunteers Needed
The 24th British Car Fayre is coming to downtown Norcross on Saturday, Sept. 6, and volunteers are needed to help the event run smoothly. The show takes place the Saturday after Labor Day, with help needed anytime between 7am-3pm. This popular annual event draws visitors from near and far to admire an impressive collection of British cars, and community support is key to its success. If you can lend a hand, please email Bill Aguilar at wcac04@yahoo.com with your name, email, and cell number.
Share Your Thoughts on a Local Coworking Space

Take this quick survey to share your needs, preferences, and ideas, and help shape what the space could become.

Norcross Art Splash Festival Adds Local Maker’s Market
The Norcross Art Splash Festival is moving to Thrasher Park this year and will debut a Local Maker’s Market at the Historic Norcross Library on Oct. 11–12. This new indoor venue offers artisans from Norcross, Peachtree Corners, and Berkeley Lake the chance to showcase and sell handmade goods without the challenges of an outdoor booth. Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications are due by Aug. 31.
