Dear Readers,
When we see the Cherokee Chamber of Commerce slogan, Where the metro meets
the mountains, we understand the message. It is to remind us that you can appreciate a
bustling level of commerce yet still enjoy a pleasant, hometown experience above the fray.
However, at the risk of getting our Chamber membership revoked, we are using this page
to expand on that, taking the liberty to (unocially) add the conjunction: Where the
metro meets the mountains, and...
When you read the articles in any issue of this magazine, you will nd there are unique
and innovative people living among us. ey are the ones who dont mind stepping up and
out with new and benecial ideas, sharing their stories with us. Where the metro meets
the mountains and people are more interesting. (Did you know that the most senior polo
player in the country lives in Cherokee County?)
How about Where the metro meets the mountains and people are more agreeable.
Look for it in shops, restaurants, banks and other local businesses. Compare the attention
and accommodation to other places youve experienced. People are just friendlier.
For more hints to help you join in our word play, pay attention to the opportunity
abounding in the classrooms of the exceptional educational institutions located here.
e local schools can boast, Where the metro meets the mountains and SAT scores are
Number One in the state. We are sending colleges the best of the best.
Dont forget to add the myriad of things to do on weekends. With rock star access to
quality festivals, shows and great concerts, the community has its arts calendar jam-packed
with super events to attend. Where the metro meets the mountains and the arts are alive
and well.
After considering your options, choose your own words to ll in the blank. We think
youll nd that location, access and personalities mix well in the people business of
Cherokee County.
Enjoy!

Jack Cashin, 87, likes to tell people that he was born in the North, but that his
soul was born in the South...and it was right about the time he discovered the rolling
hills of Cherokee County in the early 70s. He loved the bucolic countryside of East
Cherokee so much that he bought a picturesque farm here, moved three houses to
the farm and created an idyllic lifestyle that many dream of, but few actualize. I
wake up in the morning just thrilled to be hereits just so beautiful and peaceful,
Cashin arms.
Known as Chukkar Farm Polo Club and Event Facility, the 173-acre farm has
evolved into a family enterprise that includes several generations who live on the
property and help with the daily operations of the rambling estate. ere are about
65 acres of pastures to bush-hog, a stable of horses to groom and take care of, riding
and polo lessons to give, weddings and parties to throw and fundraisers, concerts
and events to plan.

ough the economics are changing and the technology and
pharmacology continue to evolve, caring for patients is still much the
same as it has been for decades. A patient comes in with a problem
that needs to be solved, and my job is to listen to my patient and nd
a solution to their problem, says Dr. William Porter, a physician at
WellStar Family Medicine in Bridgemill. Porter was a systems analyst
he received his bachelors degree in mathematics and computer science
from Oglethorpe University in Atlantawhen he realized that he
preferred and needed contact with people instead of machines. So
he decided to apply his problem-solving skills to medicine, went to
medical school and became a doctor.
Practicing Medicine...
One Patient at a Time
Dont ignore symptoms
and dont put o seeing
a doctor. No problem is
too small or too big.
Dr. William Porter
WellStar Family Medicine at Bridgemill
THE
DOCTOR
IS
IN
Dr. William Porter
And he is glad he did. Easing patients fears and helping
them get well is so rewarding, he arms. You can see it in
their eyes when they know that you have helped them and
that you really care. ats my reward. At his Bridgemill
practice, Porter, who is board certied in family medicine,
treats preteens, senior citizens and all ages in between. One
of the aspects of family practice that he enjoys is the variety
of conditions and diseases he gets to treat. No two days are
the same. I never know what the day will bring. I see 25 to 32
patients most days, and do everything from routine physicals
and chronic disease management to gynecology exams and
minor skin surgeries. Porter says he has the best of both
worldsa chance to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions
and a chance to build relationships with families he has treated
for years and with patients who have chronic illnesses that
he regularly helps them manage. Unlike surgeons or other
specialties, in family medicine our relationships are ongoing
and can last a long time.
Although treating patients who have a variety of conditions
is interesting, it is also challenging. Staying current on new
innovations in medicine is a life-long eort. I routinely have a
stack of medical journals and articles that I read every month
to stay on top of what is new, Porter says. Newer treatments
include a range of minimally invasive surgical procedures for
everything from heart to abdominal procedures. e recovery
time is often insignicant. I marvel at that, he notes. And
improved drugs for prevention and treating chronic conditions
that can lead to serious illness such as diabetes or high blood
pressure are increasing life spans.
Unfortunately, Porter notes, he is not seeing innovations
when it comes to treating persistent infections. e overuse
of antibiotics has led to resistant strains of bacteria. Its scary.
ere doesnt seem to be many new eective antibiotics being
developed. I would love to see more innovations coming down
the pipe in this eld.
What health tips does he oer? Good nutrition, he arms,
is the key to wellness. If people dont eat a good balanced
diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits, there is no amount of
medicine or surgery, or other treatment that I can render that
will make up for that. Very often when I see someone that is
frequently sick, I nd out that they are not eating anything
close to a healthy balanced diet. It doesnt take a degree in
nutrition. If you can look down at your plate and see four
colors, then you have a pretty balanced meal.
Porter notes that it is also important for patients to see a
doctor when they think something is wrong. Dont ignore
symptoms and dont put o seeing a doctor. No problem is
too small or too big. And you need to nd a doctor that you
trust and can be completely honest with. Its essential that you
are comfortable telling your primary care physician everything.
If you dont trust your doctor, you should probably nd a
dierent doctor.

ere are only a handful of people in this world who
are recognized for their extraordinary ability to discern
and distinguish one scent from another. e training
process to become one of these professional perfumers is
intense and rigorous, often spanning many years. After
they become skilled at cataloguing and memorizing the
odors of hundreds of natural and synthetic materials, they
learn to create both simple and complex fragrances by
combining and balancing raw materials. Local perfumer
Janice Ray is one of these elite fragrance experts, and she
has taken her ability to the next level by creating and
incorporating unique fragrances into various products
that she sells online and at her new Canton boutique,
Rayven Co. Candles, on Reinhardt College Parkway.
You really have to have a love for it, Ray, a Cherokee
native, arms. I started in the lab at Aromatic Flavor
and Fragrance in 1993 as a perfumer assistant. I fell
in love with the perfume world immediately and
wanted to learn as much as I could. While other lab
compounders were taking their breaks, I was in the
lab smelling all the essential oils and aroma chemicals
trying to learn and test myself on how to recognize
the ingredients. After working hard for several years in
the fragrance industry, Ray passed the test that enabled
her to become an apprentice. I studied under a full
perfumer for seven years and completed the program.

More than 50 popular retailers are now slated to open at
the outlet mall in July, and employees are needed. Retailers are
looking to hire at least 1,000 people in the next few months. e
Georgia Department of Labor recently held a job fair at Etowah
High School with 35 outlet retailers participating. Additional Job
postings and information will be posted on e Outlet Shoppes
at Atlanta Facebook page.
In addition to bringing jobs, the mall is expected to be
a signicant catalyst for further economic growth. e
opportunities e Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta brings to Cherokee
County are numerous, arms Pam Carnes, president of
Cherokee Countys Chamber of Commerce. From an economic
development standpoint, the increase in jobs and sales tax
dollars are denite benets. From the tourism perspective,
this development will help make us a primary destination for
travelers. County leaders are hoping that shopping wont be the
only item on travelers itineraries. From history to recreation to
the arts, Cherokee County oers a full spectrum of amenities.
When people nd out all there is to see and do in Cherokee
County, we think theyll be pleasantly surprised, Carnes adds.
e Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, a 370,000 square-foot outlet
center located o 1-575 at the new Ridgewalk Parkway exit, will
feature more than 80 retail outlet stores eventually, including:
Nike, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, Brooks Brothers, White
House | Black Market, Guess, Michael Kors, Under Armour,
The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta Prepares for July Launch
It wont be long before throngs of shopping acionados, bargain hunters and
casual hobby shoppers descend on Cherokee County. e ocial Ribbon Cutting
for e Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta is set for July 18, and will mark the beginning
of Woodstocks era as a premier mega shopping destination. As the newest and
closest outlet mall to Atlanta, e Outlet Shoppes is slated to become an excursion
destination for some of Atlantas 35 million tourists each year. Convenient to
travelers on Interstates 75, 85 and 20, the outlet mall is expected to draw more
than 4 million visitors annually from a three-state area.
Puma, Converse, Cole Haan, Vans, Le Creuset, Levis, Naartjie
Kids, Talbots and Carters. Designed in a shopper-friendly
conguration, the center will feature covered walkways and
landscaped courtyards to maximize the comfort and convenience
of shoppers. Its design includes a childrens play area and a center
court complete with fountains and replace to create a festive
atmosphere for shoppers and other visitors to the center.
For local residents, the new outlet mall will provide fantastic
shopping options closer to home. Currently, to get great deals
on favorite brands area shoppers have to drive an hour or more
to Dawsonville, Calhoun, Commerce or Locust Grove. But as
Carnes notes, convenient shopping is just one of the benets
the mall will bring. Mayor Donnie Henriques of Woodstock
is predicting the outlet mall will eventually bring in more than
2,000 jobs.
And thats not all. When completed, the center is projected
to generate more than $130 million in annual sales and $3
million of sales and property taxes for the City of Woodstock.
Over the next 10 years, the development and operation of the
center are expected to generate a total of $34 million in taxes for
the benet of the City of Woodstock and Cherokee County. e
Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta is a joint venture of CBL & Associates
Properties Inc. and Horizon Group Properties Inc. Horizon and
CBL are co-developers of the project; Horizon is responsible for
leasing and managing the center.

Dont Follow the Herd


eres a theory on Wall Street that goes something like
this: If you follow the crowd and buy the hot investment
of the day, chances are youll be scooping up shares when
most others are about to sell. is natural herd instinct
of buying when everyone is euphoric may mean youve
entered the game too late and are buying at the wrong time.
Investors often jump in at the wrong time because
theyre worried about what others are doing instead of
focusing on good old-fashioned fundamentals such as a
companys earning potential and its management.
History continually shows us that when individuals
choose investments without a prudent basis for doing so,
they often wind up losing money that can take many years
to recover. We saw this from 1998-2000, when investors
drove the NASDAQ composite over 5,000 -- only to see
it fall to less than 2,000 over the following year.
Generally when individuals avoid investments because
the popular thinking is to steer clear of them, opportunities
are often overlooked. We saw this in early 1982, when
interest rates were high and companies had a dicult
time impressing analysts with their earning potential. at
period proved to be the beginning of a bull market that
lasted more than fteen years.
GOOD ADVICE
In response to market downturns, some investors shift a
greater percentage of their assets to liquid investments. Time
and again, this strategy has also proven to be a mistake.
Keep in mind that, over its history, the stock market has
experienced nearly twice as many bullish periods as bearish
periods. And while past performance is no guarantee of
future investment results, the stock market has bounced
back from every major market downturn to date.
When times get tough for stocks, we generally recommend
that you maintain your condence in their long-term
growth potential and use these simple strategies:
Reduce your cost by averaging down. If one of your
stocks declines in value, but the underlying business still
appears sound, consider buying more shares. You will
reduce your overall cost basis; you do, of course, increase
your losses should the stock value continue to fall.
Stay diversined. Keep your assets spread among
investments which have historically performed dierently
under the same market conditions.
Stay focused on your long-term goal. Don't try to avoid
the downturn by jumping out of the market.

Frank C. Mills III
YOUR
HONOR
an honor for
It was my privilege and honor to be a part of naming the Justice
Center for Frank. No one could be more deserving. Hes been
the heart and soul of the court system in Cherokee County for
a generation, says Johnston. Frank is a tremendous role model.
What I admire most about him is that in almost 40 years as one
of the most important and powerful people in Cherokee County,
hes lived modestly and focused his abilities and energy on helping
others. Hes never sought anything for himself, including any
recognition for his accomplishments and service. Hes actually
embarrassed by the accolades hes receiving now. ats just the
kind of true servant he is.
In fact, Mills acknowledges the honor modestly. I am not
sure I deserve it, but I am incredibly humbled and honored by
that, he arms.
e Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce recently honored
Mills as well. What an honor to bestow the title of First Citizen
of Cherokee County on Judge Frank C. Mills III. e most
prestigious award presented by the Cherokee County Chamber,
this accolade is designed to recognize a Cherokee County resident
for their signicant meritorious service to the community, says
Pam Carnes, Chamber president and CEO.
He is deserving of this recognition, not only for his service to the
community through elected oce, but also for his service to the
Boy Scouts of America, Leadership Cherokee and the community
as a whole.
Mills says he never planned on spending three decades in public
service. I started as a district attorney, and when District Attorney
Butch Holcomb died, I was appointed to replace him. Not long
after that, Judge Marion Pope was appointed to the Court of
25
Appeals, and I was appointed to ll his position as a judge. After
that, one thing kind of led to another.
During his many years of public service, Mills has received many
such notable honors including: Distinguished District Attorney
Award from the Prosecuting Attorneys Council in 1979, Justice
Robert Benham Public Service Award in 1999 and was the states
nominee for the American Bar Associations Judicial Excellence
Award in 2003, Outstanding Young Man of America for Cherokee
County in 1982 by the Jaycees; Volunteer of the Year in 2004 by
Cherokee FOCUS; Light of Hope Award in 2011 from CASA
Cherokee, and the Jean Harris Volunteer of the Year Award by the
Rotary Club of Canton in 2012.
He is quick to share the honors with people who have worked
along with him. I have been very fortunate to have always
worked with excellent, devoted co-workers. I am not just saying
that, he says. Cherokee County has been very fortunate to have
had dedicated sheris, clerks, district attorneys and many other
agencies I do not want to leave outall competent and helpful.
People like to joke about lawyers, and so do Iand in fact, so do
most lawyers. But the Bar in Cherokee County is also excellent,
and no-nonsense. ey work hard, le appropriate motions and
do not waste time with some of the frivolous stu you often read
about in other places. People should read the newspapers every day
and see what is going on in other communities, and thank their
lucky stars for the court, law enforcement personnel and even the
lawyers who are currently serving them, he arms.
Also, I have often said that by working in an old cramped
courthouse for so many years, it gave all of us a lifeboat

en I was voted into the American Society of
Perfumers.
Today Ray is one of about 200 elite full perfumers
in the United States and can recognize thousands
of varying scents. She combined her fragrance
expertise with her husbands manufacturing
and production experience to create Rayven
Company Candles, a local company that crafts
and distributes distinct candles and soaps. Each
candle is hand-crafted using the highest quality
ingredientssoy-based wax, clean-burning, all
natural cotton wicks, essential oilsand blended
to oer superior fragrance throw. We take great
pride in crafting the nest candles available. Not
only do they smell good when you pick them up
in the store, when you take them home you will
have that beautiful aroma for the entire life of
the candle. eir Primitive candles are crafted
to oer 80 hours of fragrant burn.
In addition to the aromatic candles, Ray has
created distinct natural, moisture-rich, fragrant
soaps. My daughter had extremely painful
eczema, so rather than use the steroids the doctors
were recommending, I started researching a
natural way to help her skin and we developed
these soaps, Ray explains. We make our soaps
using the traditional cold process method and use
olive, coconut, palm and shea butter as the base
of all our soaps. We use only essential oils along
with natural pigments and vegetable or plant
powders in our soap bars. A lot of people have
told me that they no longer need to moisturize
once they start using our soap. We often cant
keep it in stock.
Ray says that her intense training has changed
how she perceives the world. It opened my
eyes to a whole new world I had no idea existed
until I was breaking each of the natural scents
down and learning that most naturals contain
very similar ingredients, just at dierent ratios.
So when I look at a leaf on a tree, I dont just
see a leafI think of the natural ingredients that
make up its unique odor. She has a passion for
nding inspiration from nature, and uses her
imagination to formulate fragrances. A simple
stroll down a woodsy path, nding a moss
covered rock or the smell of rain can become
the basis for a formulation, she notes. We love
Cherokee County and we are committed to our
community and to the planet with best practices
in all phases of candle production.

When I asked Annie to be editor for the second booka
book on family she looked over my stories and said it seemed
a little lopsided with only a mans perspective. So we decided
to collaborate. For all the readers who have asked, What did
your wife say about THAT article?...now they will know. He
adds that the humorous pen and ink illustrations by his wife
add an extra dimension to the stories. I just wish shed given
me more hair.
Michael and I have been working on the book project since
last June. It started with me in the editor role only, as I was
for his first book The Eyes Dont See. We already knew the
subject of the second book would be family and marriage.
But after looking over Michaels stories, I began to think the
book would be more enlightening if it included the womans
perspective, too, Ann explains.
Michael and I settled on a he
said/she said format...for every
story Michael tells about us or the
kids, theres a story from me about
the same subject, and sometimes I
share an opposite point of view!
Ann says that having Michael edit her stories was occasionally
a painful process for both of them. I found out that shaping
a story from scratch is a lot different from just shaping it
up. In this case, there was the added element of me putting
into words for the first time my take on family events as
related by Michael. Mostly the differences were just funny,
but occasionally they were annoying to Michael or even a little
painful. Writing things down is enlightening! Ann notes.
Editing the book truly became a family project with parents,
siblings and even their sons weighing in. My mother and one
of my sisters especially oered many editorial suggestions. Our
sons, Tyler and Joseph, have both read the book, reluctantly.
Actually, they both surprised us with some pretty good judgment
calls and suggestions for a few changesmostly along the lines
of how to make something funnier, Ann explains.
The book begins with stories showing the culture clash
between Michaels and Anns very different families. The
reader is invited to see how the relationship works out in
communicating, raising the kids, and in shaping the childrens
values and religious beliefs. I wasnt sure about how much to
include of our ups and downs through the years. Michael has
always related our family struggles in his stories. As a doctor,
hes listened to thousands of patients over the years. In his

e quest for healthy cuisine has been a roller coaster ride
in the last decadewith starts and stops and twisty turns that
sometimes double back. Coee is bad, coee is good. Nuts are
bad, nuts are good. Alcohol is bad, but wine is good. Fat is bad...
unless it is the good fat. Coconut oil can kill you...or heal you. e
low-fat diet was replaced with the bacon-is-good-for-you, high-
protein diet and it seems that a small piece of formerly forbidden
dark chocolate is now considered healthier than a multivitamin.
Despite ongoing controversy, many premier chefs and
nutritionists agree about what constitutes healthy cuisine
its similar to the food people ate a generation ago in rural
America. Locally grown and harvested meat and produce that
are minimally processed are at the heart of the menu at popular
upscale restaurants and dinner tables across the country that are
embracing the farm-to-fork or farm-to-table movement.
e benets are numerous. Devotees enjoy wholesome avorful
colorful food while supporting local farmers and preserving our
agricultural heritage. At a farmers market, you can meet and
talk with the local farmer who is growing the produce that you
are eating rather than wonder where your food comes from and
whats in it.

In the Boy Scout Tradition
Frank Nills has oeen a devoted Bo] 8cout leader ever since
his son rst joined Cub Scouts in the 80s. He has served as
assistant scoutmaster, unit commissioner, aquatics instructor
and district chairman. Bo] 8couts of America has honored Nills
with the 8ilver Beaver Award, the highest award given o] the
8couts for service to ]outh, and the whitne] N. Young award for
distinguished service to low-income youth.
Commissioner Harr] Johnston shared this stor] that exemplifes
Nills' ingenuit], devotion and diligence. "The Bo] 8couts had
been given a large utility pole to use as the main beam for a
footbridge over a large creek on the trail network they built and
maintain along the river just west of Canton. The pole had been
delivered to the site, but the Scouts had no way to get it into
position across the creek. Frank lived nearby, and when heavy
rains and possible ooding were predicted, he tied one end
of the pole to a tree by the creek. When the area ooded, he
paddled his canoe to the site, pulled the other end of the now-
oating pole across the creek, and tied it to a tree on the other
side. When the waters receded, the pole was left straddling the
creek, ready to be jacked into its exact position.
mentality. By that I mean in a lifeboat, if one person moves or
does something, it aects everyone else in the boat. In Cherokee
County, we are still mindful of that and try to check with each
other before we try something new. It makes for better working
relationships and morale among everyone, Mills adds.
Mills says that one of the lessons he learned during his long
tenure as judge and wants to pass on to his successors is mundane,
but important. I hope my successors pay heed. I used to be
known for holding court at all hours. I have truly run in another
county until 4 a.m. In Cherokee and other counties, it was not
unusual to go until midnight. at was for a reason. I started in a
multi-county circuit. We did not have the luxury of coming back
to the same county the next day, or even the next week because
we would have court scheduled in another county. Witnesses and
parties also may have own in from another state, he explains.
ere is great pressure to nish and not have to come back. I
do not like to make parties who have waited all day come back.
But there is a physical toll for that on everyone, even me. A few
years back I had a blood clot in my leg. e doctor told me that
condition is common for airline pilots, judges, and anyone who
sits for long hours. I hope my successors will look after themselves
better, he urges.
As Mills transitions to the next phase of his life, he says that
he is looking forward to less administrative duties and more
Scouting adventures and time with family. After logging 30 years
on the bench, rendering countless legal decisions, and garnering
highest honors from his colleagues and community, Mills seems
modestly content.
My late sister-in-law used to say, Working together for the
good of all. I hope people will remember me for that, he adds.

writing, as in his oce, he likes to remind
people that conict and problems in life are
normal, Ann says. We kept the subject
matter in this book on the light side, but still,
I wondered about showing the frequency
of conict between our kids, and between
Michael and me. Conict is more interesting
than sweetness and light, but I hope people
can see past the ghting to the love!

Ann says that the title of the book, A Mismatch
Made in Heaven, comes from the idea that
people who are dierent from each other can be
together loving and sometimes disagreeing with
each other while maintaining a sense of purpose
about the life lessons they are learning.
ats also the take-away
message of the book...
God put us here together
for a reason. Its a hopeful,
humorous message.
Were all part of the

the painful parts of life

keep our eyes open.

Ann and Dr. Nike litrel, will deout at FoxTale Book
Shoppe in Woodstock on April 27.
(He Said...She Said continued from page 29) (Farm to Fork continued from page 34)
Market organizer and Reinhardt University horticulturist, Zach
White, says that numerous special events are already scheduled this
season including: a Special Gardening Class at the market on Deer
Resistant Plants, the 3rd Annual Waleska Blooms Photo Contest, the
2nd Annual Squash Dish Contest. is year we are adding a Biggest
Squash contest and Original Squash Centerpiece or creative display
contest. In July we plan to have the 2nd annual Pie Day Championship.
Last years winners from the Waleska market won big in the Cherokee
County Pie contest at the Cherokee Fresh Market, winning almost every
category but two.
Hickory Flat: Cherokee Fresh Market is located on the Cagle Family
Farm, 362 Stringer Road. e market will be held each Saturday from
Memorial Day to Labor Day, 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the pavilion behind
the farm oce.
Sponsored by the Cherokee County Farm Bureau Womens
Committee, the market is one of the only on-farm markets around.
Tours of the farm are oered on the second and fourth Saturdays.
Special event days promoting locally grown products are held the last
Saturday of the month during harvest season including: Canning Day,
Peach Day, Watermelon Day, Pie Day, Tractor Day, Apple Day and
Family Garden Day.
If you are wondering what to do with food that doesnt come with
microwave directions, dont worry. Most chefs tend to agree that less
is morewith food so fresh and avorful, minimum preparation and
seasoning are required. All you need to do with a vine-ripe tomato is
slice it and eat it.

(Polo continued from page 5)
And on most Sunday afternoons from May through
October, there is a polo match to be played. One of the
rst things Cashin did when he moved to the farm was
to lay out a polo eld in one of the pastures. Since then,
hes taught hundreds of horse enthusiasts to play polo,
hosted hundreds of matches, raised millions of dollars
for charities and played more chukkers (periods of play
in polo) then he can count. Often called the sport of
kings, polo is played while riding a pony, although the
term pony is purely traditional and the mount is actually
a full-sized horse. Cashin looks forward to the weekly
matches where he gets to team up with his friends and
familygrandchildren included nowand play this
ancient game. According to the U.S. Polo Association,
Cashin has the distinction of being the oldest active
player in the country.
e Sunday polo matches are generally open to the
publicthere is a $20 fee for parking. Guests are invited
to bring a blanket and their food and beverage of choice
and experience an afternoon of polo. Sometimes the polo
matches are sponsored by national and regional charities
(continued on page 40)

that raise funds with ticket sales and concessions. I
am proud to say that weve raised close to $7 million
through the years for various causesMust Ministries,
e High Museum, Parkinsons Disease, and many
others, Cashin says. When the matches are associated
with a fundraiser, ticket prices and availability may
vary.
In addition to the weekly polo matches, May also
marks the beginning of Chukkar Farms concert series.
A pavilion in a scenic meadow becomes center stage on
the rst Saturday evening each month for Home By
Dark @ Chukkar Farm, featuring wonderful acoustic,
in-the-round performances by talented songwriters
and musicians. e second or third Friday night of
the month, the pavilion is home to the Atlanta Jazz
Preservation Societys Under the Stars jazz concert
series. is year will mark our seventh season of
concerts, and we are planning another outstanding
series for everyone to enjoy. We rent tables in the
pavilion and oer general admission outside the
pavilion. Everyone is welcome. Several hundred people
usually come outthey tell us that this is one of the
most tranquil and picturesque places in the Atlanta
area to enjoy live music, Cashin says proudly.
Numerous businesses and corporations from the
Atlanta area have discovered that the serene rural farm
is an inviting location for company picnics or team
building excursions. We can accommodate up to 300
guests in our covered pavilion and we have a separate
clubhouse that overlooks the polo elds where we can
accommodate 75 to 100 guests, Cashin notes. We
have a lot of weddings here on Saturdays and a lot of
birthday parties and family reunions, too. e land is
beautiful here. Its a privilege to own this farm, and we
enjoy sharing it.
