Fall is the best time to visit the North Georgia mountains. We have put together a list of the best Fall Activities to experience in Ellijay. From the Georgia Apple Festival to senic views, this list will give you great things to do in the Fall.

 We got a sneak peak at the Good Samaritan Catholic Church's Flea Market that is happening this Friday, September 14 from 8:30-4:00pm and Saturday, September 15 from 8:30-12pm at the Lions Club Fairgrounds. Debbie Slaughter, in charge of organizing the flea market, showed us around the event as volunteers were working hard to get everything set up. They have a lot of clothing for all ages and sizes!

 On Tuesday, March 27, 2018 a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting was held for Mona’s Formal Wear. Mona’s specializes in prom, pageant and special occasion dress sales. They have tuxedo rentals for any event.

 April has always been a fond month for me. Milder weather is always a plus for anglers and guides alike. Just all kinds of activity everywhere, and especially on and in the streams. The rainbow trout are beautifully colored up right now from their spawning activities.

 The March Network Luncheon was held on March 8, 2018 and was sponsored by Amicalola EMC.

Random Acts of Kindness Week was officially celebrated February 12-17, 2018. During that week the Gilmer Chamber wanted to say thank you to some very hard working, often unseen folks. The Ellijay city workers can often be seen around town in their bright yellow shirts doing whatever needs to be done to keep the city beautiful and safe.

On Tuesday, February 20, 2018 a ribbon cutting was held for the Speech & Language Lounge, Inc. Owner, Linda Everett is dedicated to providing speech language therapy services to people of all ages and a wide variety of diagnoses.

On February 13, 2018 the Gilmer Chamber hosted the first Business Connections of the year at Expedition: BIGFOOT. We had a wonderful turn out and the food and networking were fantastic.

Some people say that Ellijay is a "Small Drinkin' Town with an Antique Problem" and part of that might be true. We just like to think that we make shopping in Ellijay a lot of fun!

If you like to search for the perfect antique piece, or maybe an older piece of furniture to re-purpose into something new, Ellijay is by far the best destination to hunt for treasure.
