The 38 th annual Fair-on-the-
Square will take place 9 a.m.
until 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, at
the Jenkins County Elementary
School (JCES.) The arts and
crafts festival has always taken
place on the lawn of the Jenkins
County Courthouse in past
years but had to be moved to
JCES this year due to construc
tion that is taking place at the
courthouse. The event is spon
sored by Millen Better Home
town (MBH).
The charges for booths are as
follows: $35 entry fee for each
14’ x 14’ space; $60 for non
profit groups requiring two
spaces; and $5 charge, in addi
tion to entry fee, for those re
quiring electricity. Spaces are
reserved on a first come, first
served basis. Arts and crafts
vendors are invited to partici
pate. No used clothing, jewelry,
furniture or flea market type
items will be permitted. Vendors
should set up on Friday after
noon or Saturday before 9 a.m.
Spaces must be confirmed with
a MBH member before set up.
The deadline for booth entries
is Friday, Sept. 25, and an ap
plication for booths appears
elsewhere in this issue of The
Millen News.
There will be no parade this
year due to the change of loca
tion of the fair and construction
projects in progress.

the Fair-on-the-Square, contact
Art Johnson, MBH, or the

ber of Commerce at (478) 982-

“I had a fall. That’s when I realized
I needed Lifeline.”
We hear the same story over and over.
It takes a fall or a medical emergency
to make someone realize how
vulnerable they can be living alone.
And just how close they may be to
losing their independence.
But there is a way to help you to
maintain your independence. To safely
continue to do the things you love. In
the home you love. It’s called Lifeline.
