If a catfish rodeo or skeet shoot sounds like your child’s idea of a good time, be prepared to hop in the car and head over to JAKES Day at Chicopee Woods Agricultural Center this weekend. The free event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 26, at the center, which is located at 1855 Calvary Church Road in Gainesville. JAKES — Juniors Acquiring Knowledge Ethics and Sportsmanship — Day is sponsored by the Foothills Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation and Hall County Parks and Leisure Services.
