Community Events for October 2012

Hinesville, and it’s surrounding cities, have a wide variety of activities and opportunities for both young, old, and everything in between. The community as a whole takes great pride in being close-knit and friendly; welcoming newcomers and visitors alike with a warmth much akin to coming home for a party. 

It is with this attitude that we come together throughout the summer to support our local economy at the Hinesville Farmer’s Market in downtown Hinesville. Local farmers and artisans sell their wares alongside local seafood, flowers, and baked goods every Thursday evening from 4pm to 8pm in Bradwell Park on Commerce Street. October 25th will be the last evening for the summer market, but the fall market starts on November 1st and runs every Thursday through the 15th.

Following the last evening of the summer market, Hinesville is playing host to the Scarecrow Stroll and Beggar’s Night on October 26th in Bradwell Park from 4-6pm. This family-friendly event allows kids to fill goodie bags with treats from a variety of downtown businesses including us at Keller Williams Realty! This fun and busy event draws large numbers, last year’s estimate was around 10,000 in attendance, and isn’t just an evening for the accumulation of treats! Booths will be set up in Bradwell Park for activities and vendors, so come ready for fun! We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

With the spirit of community so alive, Operation Homefront is conducting their annual coat drive which ends October 26th. They are accepting new and gently used coats to be distributed November 3rd by Operation Homefront. Donations can be made from 9am-4pm at 400 North Main Street Operation Homefront in Hinesville. Clean out your closet and help someone in need this winter.

Exemplifying their commitment to service, the Hinesville Fire Department is offering and CPR/First Aid class Saturday, October 20th. This 2-year certification through the American Heart Association costs $20 per person and the class runs from 8am to 5pm.  Visit the Hinesville Fire Department at 103 Liberty Street before October 17th to sign up and pay for your space in this valuable class.
