Enjoying the weather and more

The weather is beautiful this week! Take a scenic stroll along the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail in Macon. It's perfect for walking, jogging, or a leisurely bike ride. It winds along the Ocmulgee River and wanders through the Ocmulgee National Monument, Gateway Park, and Central City Park. It includes fountains, statues, and views of the rolling hills of Macon's historic cemeteries. There's a parking area for the trail on Spring Street, just off I-16, that's easily accessible.

NewTown Macon has a monthly happy-hour networking event at a different restaurant every third Thursday. It's a chance to grab a drink, maybe an appetizer, and get to know some of Macon's business and civic leaders as well as other professionals. This Thursday they are meeting at Dolce Vita from 5 to 7 pm with live music by local singer-songwriter Chelsea Hughes.

The 6th Annual Macon Film Festival is this weekend! The film festival is a chance to view independent films in a variety of genres on the big screen. Screenings will be held at Macon's two historic theaters--Douglass Theater and Cox Capitol Theater--as well as the Marriott Hotel. There will also be a few additional events, including free workshops for aspiring screenwriters and filmmakers. Tickets to the screenings range from a $100 all-access pass that lets you in the after parties to a $10 daytime pass good for admission to any and all daytime screenings. If you see more than one, it's much cheaper than the movie theater!

Live music comes to Warner Robins, too. Jubee and The Morning After, who recently released their first music video, is playing at Yesterdaze bar on Moody Road on Friday. The music will start at 9:30. The band's music is a blend of pop and funk, and they always bring a good time. If you want more good bands to show up in Warner Robins, head over to Yesterdaze this weekend and show your support. Check out the facebook event for more details.
