Local restaurant Ruby’s
Recipes is officially open at its
new location in downtown
Dawsonville, at 104 Highway 9
North.
The Italian deli and restaurant
first opened back in 2020 off of
Memory Lane, where it quickly
made a name for itself in the
community. Since then, owner
Allen Cerinetti and his wife
Julia have worked hard to help
grow their restaurant’s reputa
tion and become an integral part
of the community.
So when the restaurant space
in the old Aunt Dyann’s build
ing became available, the
Cerinettis jumped at the oppor
tunity to relocate their restaurant
to the larger area. After weeks of
hard work preparing the space,
Ruby’s Recipes officially
reopened this week in its new
location.
On Tuesday Sept. 6, as part of
the official reopening day for
Ruby’s, the Dawson County
Chamber of Commerce held a
ribbon cutting for the new loca
tion. Chamber leadership, busi
ness owners and community
members flocked to the restau
rant to celebrate with the
Cerinetti family and to enjoy
some of the restaurant’s signa
ture dishes.
“We have just really grown to
love you and your food; this is
going to be such a great, great
location,"’ Dawson County
Chamber of Commerce
President and CEO Mandy
Power said to Cerinetti during
the ribbon cutting ceremony.
City Council Member John
Walden was also present at the
ribbon cutting ceremony and
commended Cerinetti for his
hard work, encouraging the
community to come out and
support Ruby’s in its new loca
tion.
“I’m excited for Allen; let’s
encourage everybody to get the
word out about him being here
because this is a great opportu
nity,” Walden said. “He serves
great food and I’m very excited
for him.”
Cerinetti thanked everyone in
attendance at the ribbon cutting
ceremony and for the restau
rant’s first day open, expressing
his excitement at the new loca
tion and saying that in its new,
more visible location, he hopes
that Ruby’s can become a true
staple of downtown
Dawsonville.
“I would just love for this
place to be the anchor here, to
bring everybody business here
in downtown Dawsonville so we
can grow all together — cause I
think this could be an amazing
downtown; it’s already an amaz
ing community so the infrastruc
ture just needs to be there,”
Cerinetti said. “Thank you all so
much for coming.”
Ruby’s Recipes is now locat
ed at 104 Highway 9 North in
downtown Dawsonville. For

Examples of spinners included various types of caps ad
marbles.
The Dawson County Public
Fibrary hosted the first of four
scheduled September STEM
events for children on
Wednesday, Sept. 7.
Wednesday’s event gave ele
mentary-age children the chance
to learn about the scientific meth
od, types of energy, friction,
gravity and more.
Participants were able to get a
hands-on experience by crafting
their own “spinners” that were
made from a CD with a twisting
mechanism glued on top and a
marble glued to the bottom.
Each bag that included these
supplies had different shapes
and sizes of top and bottom
mechanisms, giving each child a
unique observational experi
ence.
“I’m hoping that the kids will
learn about thinking like a sci
ence, taking the time to observe
things and asking how and why,”
youth services specialist Mary
Beth Tanner said. “Almost all
these things that we’re doing in
the next month have to do with
simple machines.”
After making a colorful design
on the CD itself and gluing the
part on, each participant would
test the spinner on a variety of
surfaces, including a smooth
desk or rough sandpaper.
Another observation could be
made by adding weight to each
spinner by placing coins on top
of the CD.
The fun didn’t stop with the
kids participating, as parents also
enjoyed watching their children
learn and observe in real time.
One parent described how her
child learned about increasing
the spinner’s speed by testing out
various methods of lining up the
coins on the CD.
For Tanner, a former elementa
ry school teacher, she enjoys
hosting an interactive experience
for kids to learn from.
The STEM events also give
parents ideas on how to teach
children about science using
materials they may be able to
gather at home.
“It’s awesome, and I don’t
have to grade papers,” Tanner
said. “The [parents and children]
are having fun together while
learning.”
The next STEM event at the
library will be held Wednesday,
Sept. 14, and will involve observ
ing motion on a roller coaster.
Two more STEM events are
planned after that.
For any questions about the
STEM events or any other youth
activities, the library can be
reached at 706-344-3690.
