Thanks to everyone who participated in the Annual Decatur Beach Party, held this past Friday on the Square. It was the largest crowd ever, and I think everyone who was there had a good time. One of the ways we start off the day preparing for the Beach Party is meeting the dump trucks that drop off the sand at 7 am. Thanks to the Public Works Crew that meets us there and helps to push the sand into the parking spaces. They come back at 2 pm to spread out the sand and create “Decatur Beach”. Tony Kemp and his crew do a great job and seem to enjoy helping make this happen.
The sand is donated by Vulcan Materials, and this year they gave us an extra truck full.
Thanks again to everyone who volunteered or attended and made this another successful Decatur Event!

Barry at Home With His Guitar
“In 1972, a group of talented musicians came together to form the Southern Rock Band, Atlanta Rhythm Section. During the next 35 years the band would earn gold and platinum records, as well as a place in the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.”
One of the original members of that band is Decatur’s own Barry Bailey! Barry began playing the guitar at the age of 12 and while attending Decatur High School, joined a small garage band. The rest is history.
Barry will be returning to Decatur on Friday, June 19, for the annual Decatur Beach Party. Mayor Bill Floyd will be presenting Mr. Bailey a key to the City as well as reading a proclamation declaring June 19, 2009 as “Barry Bailey Day”. The presentation will be made at the Main Stage on the MARTA Plaza at 7:45pm, before the band begins to play.
For more information or to buy tickets for Beach Party, visit www.decaturdba.com. Tickets are $6.50 in advance, $10 at the gate. Children 12 and under are free, limit two with each paying adult.
See you on Decatur Beach!
