Promoting a Better Byron

What It Was Like Going To A Music Festival In 1970:

The Second Annual Atlanta Pop Festival took place over the Fourth of July weekend in 1970 at the Middle Georgia Raceway in Byron, Georgia about 90 miles south of Atlanta.

Promoting a Better Byron wants to hear from you!  How was your experience at Kid's Day?  Was there an activity you enjoyed?  Was there sufficient time for the fun?  Want to share a picture?

We want to know.  

Stop by the blog and list your fun times for Byron to see!

Thanks Byron!

Kid's Day at the Market will be at the Jailhouse Park in Downtown Byron, GA Saturday, the 18th of August.

Wow!!

You want to have their little hands clean to start, as fingerprinting will be made available to all who choose to participate.  These fingerprints can be used for identification should a catastrophic event occur or your child becomes lost.
A tour of one Byron's finest fire trucks and the gear our proud fireman wear will be on display.  Come on down and ask to sound the alarm!
