LEADERSHIP GEORGIA COMES TO COLQUITT

The Leadership Georgia Class of 2010 visited Colquitt on Sept 23. Leadership Georgia is a project of the Fannin Leadership Institute at the University of Georgia. Each year a select group of young leaders under 40 and their spouses are selected to travel all over Georgia to learn about thier state. Being chosen is one of the highest honors a young adult can receive. One hundred and eighty participants came to Colquitt to have dinner at Tarrer and see a dress rehersal of Swmap Gravy. The staff of the Fannin Institute was also in attendance. They were one of the most enthusiastic audiences who have ever seen the show. Jennifer Trawick, Executive Director of Colquitt/Miller Arts Council, and I gave a short history of the 18 years of Swamp Gravy shows. This year's production is based on the stories of the Murals. It is full of music and the most adorable children who are having the time of their lives. Colquitt loves welcoming visitors to our town and most of all loves performing our stories.
