2006 Southwest GA Mini-Tour

First-Ever Overnight Tour!!

The Chancel Choir of First Presbyterian Church of Athens had its first-ever overnight tour Saturday-Sunday, March 18-19, 2006. With more than 30 choir members and about a half-dozen groupies, the entourage left Athens late Saturday morning and journeyed to southwest Georgia for meaningful performances in Buena Vista and Plains, Georgia. Everyone was excited about the 30-hour trip and it was certainly memorable for everyone involved.

Doris and Tom Granum played tour guide along the way and shared both meaningful and meaningless trivia about the area through which we traveled. Comments ranged from "Bill Arrington grew up two miles east of here (south Macon)" to "My favorite barbecue in the world is Fincher's BBQ -- just east of here. In fact, astronaut Sonny Carter took some Fincher's BBQ with him into space."
