STORY 1: Heavy Rains And Potential High Winds Expected Across NWGA
The National Weather Service is monitoring a potential predecessor rain event ahead of Tropical Storm
Helene's remnants moving into Northwest Georgia. Heavy rains and winds up to 40 mph are expected
Thursday night or Friday morning, with Rome and surrounding areas possibly receiving 6-8 inches of rain.
The storm's path could lead to downed trees and power outages if the ground becomes saturated. Georgia
Power is preparing for potential outages, and Gov. Brian Kemp has declared a state of emergency,
deploying National Guard troops and suspending certain regulations. The weekend forecast looks drier with
sunny skies.
STORY 2: Hunny Pot Festival Returns Saturday to Cedartown
Big Spring Park in Cedartown will host the 2024 Holloway Hunny Pot Festival on Saturday, celebrating
Sterling Holloway, the voice of Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the event will feature arts
and crafts vendors, food trucks, and a variety of local products, including honey. The festival includes the
popular Pooh Stick Race at noon, with sticks available for a $1 donation. An exhibit on Sterling Holloway will
be displayed in the historic Women’s Building. For more details, contact Aimee Madden at
