We love how our local businesses get so involved in Decatur’s festivals. A number of local shops and restaurants are participating in the Decatur Book Festival as exhibitors on the square (see a complete list here), as locations on the interactive SCVNGR Hunt and many will have specials going on this weekend. Check out what’s going on at The Marlay and Mingei:
The Marlay House will be celebrating its 2nd Anniversary this weekend. Festivities include:
- Multiple Casks of ale from Bell’s Brewing and other special occasion beers.
- Friday, Sept. 3 at 8 p.m.: Live entertainment with Papuna and his Jazzy crew.
- Saturday, Sept. 4 at 9 p.m.: The Marlay’s singer server performs “The Christy Lee Experience”
- 10 percent off food for anyone who mentions attending the Decatur Book Festival and the related AJC blog post.
In honor of the Decatur Book Festival Mingei has a new shipment of its popular reading figures and is launching a new project. The shop has a limited selection of Georgia reading features which will help support the Libros Para Pueblos and The Georgia Center for the Book. Come see the wonderful Brer Rabbits, Brer Foxes, and peacocks reading Flannery that artisans in La Union have created.
