I live in Newnan and if my work schedule permits I plan to attend the Newnan event as a spectator but I have no idea where it is held. Could someone give me directions or a physical address so I can use StreetAtlas?

Oh, and what time does the festivities begin?

Thanks

Location:

606 Glover Pond Rd, Newnan Ga

Coordinates W084*59'.881 E33*24'.159

Directions:

From I-85 South (south of the Atlanta airport) take exit 47. Turn right at the bottom of the ramp onto Ga 34, go .6 miles to the 3rd light and turn right onto Ga 34 bypass. (If northbound on I-85 turn left at the bottom of the ramp and go .7 miles and 4 lights.) Go 5.5 miles and turn left. Go .1 mile to stop sign and turn left onto Welcome road. Go 9.6 miles and turn right on Glover Pond Rd (dirt road). (Welcome changes to Handy at the 1st stop sign and then to Martin Girls at the 2nd stop sign.) Go 1.1 miles to the entrance, dirt road after the concrete driveway, and turn left. You're there.

Workday fun begins at 0930.

Event fun will start at 1000 on Sat. Look for the flyer to be posted soon.

Excellent, thanks! I'm very familiar with that area.

Another , perhaps easier for some, direction would be like you said, to take exit 47 and go west on hwy 34 (Bullsboro) to 34 bypass (Millard farmer Industrail Blvd). But then instead of getting on Welcome rd (easy to miss) stay straight on the bypass untill you come to the 4-way stop at the intersection of Hwy 34 (Franklin Hwy) and go right. You can then stay straight until you get to the Powers Crossroads area and turn right on Thomas Powers Rd. (BP station on corner). Stay straight on Thomas Powers untill you reach the stop sign, then take a left on Martin Girls and then right on Glover Pond Rd. This direction is a little less scenic but I believe it's a little more direct and quicker.

For those, like me, that use mapping applications requiring decimal degree coordinate format, I have included the converted numbers below.

33.40265
-84.99801667

Thanks again
