Atlanta Weekend
Oct 3 to Oct 4
A past weekend. Written after the fact from what local sources listed and the weather that actually happened.
Rain fell both days in Atlanta: Saturday reached 84 with a light shower, and Sunday topped out at 78 with just over an inch. The weekend held zoo programs, a mutual aid fair, spooky movies at The Strand and a free craft afternoon at the Carlos Museum.
