Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 393
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
The building at 33 College Street, currently home to the Norcross Garden Club, has been a gathering place in Norcross for more than a century! In the early 1900s, it was moved from Autry Street to its current spot by a pair of oxen, first serving as a doctor’s office before becoming the studio of Miss Ida Wooten, a musician and teacher who worked with hundreds of local students. By 1930, a new clubhouse was built on the site, and it has continued to serve as a place for community groups to meet ever since. More here!

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Easter Egg Hunt & Festivities
Saturday, April 4 is a full day of Easter fun in Norcross! Start at Rossie Brundage Park with the free Easter Egg Hunt at 10am, then stick around for photos with the Bunny and a Disney Princess. An Egg-stra Special Egg Hunt for kids with special needs follows at 1pm, with adaptive tools available to help make the experience fun and accessible for everyone! Then head to downtown Norcross for the Shop Hop Eggstravaganza from 2-5pm, with retail and dining specials, activities, face painting and more spring fun around town! Registration is only required for the special needs hunt.
Hispanic Business Outreach Event
The City of Norcross Economic Development Department is hosting a Hispanic Business Outreach Event on Wednesday, April 23 from 10:30am-12:30pm at the Norcross Cultural Arts & Community Center. You’ll have the chance to connect with groups like the Hispanic Business Center, UGA’s Small Business Development Center, Prospera and more, all there to share real guidance, resources and next steps. Registration is required and space is limited!
Blessing of the Animals
Norcross Presbyterian Church, 89 Jones Street, will hold its annual Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, April 26 with an outdoor service by the bell, followed by individual blessings for pets. It’s usually a very dog-friendly crowd, though past years have also included a lizard and even a snake, which definitely kept things interesting. Everyone is welcome if you’d like to bring a pet and be part of a worship service that’s a little more ‘ruff’ around the edges!
