It’s Spring Break in Hall County, so there’s more than usual to keep you busy on this week’s calendar; including a couple week-long jigsaw puzzle events, a week full of activities to keep the kids busy at Elachee Nature Center, a bike night, a farmers market, a slew of concerts – ranging from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to a night of 007 songs with Jamie Paul – and UNG Gainesville’s production of Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein,” among others.
Hundreds gather Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2023, at Peach State Bank & Trust for the annual Jack McKibbon BLT Luncheon in the bank parking lot along E.E. Butler Parkway in Gainesville. The BLT Luncheon originated upwards of 25 years ago with its namesake Jack McKibbon and fellow locals Howard Whelchel, Lee Martin, Brent Danneman, Howard Page, Joe Wyant and George Seelke. The friends hosted the event at a warehouse near Browns Bridge Road in Gainesville until 2016, when McKibbon announced its retirement.
