IN THIS ISSUE: OCTOBER 14 - 28

For the first time since it opened, I venturedto the Georgia National Fair last weekend.It’s not that I don’t like to have fun, I

do…it’s just that my memories of the fair arethose of a 14-year-old and include dusty pathsleading to rickety rides runby skuzzy carnies in need ofa long bath. The toothlesssmiles of the games opera-tors promised a winner everytime but I was too repulsedto try get close enough tothese people to take the chal-lenge. My memories ofgoing to the fair are far fromfond, and while I still am lessthan elated at the thought ofa return visit, I must say thatthose memories have beenreplaced with something a bit more positive.

Instead of those dusty straw strewn paths, Ifound a paved thoroughfare winding throughoutthe entire area. There were wheelchairs, wagons,and strollers for rent. Passage was easy for thoseon foot and those with wheels.

Attendants were helpful and happy; some-thing that is hard to find these days. Bathroomswere clean and welcoming, not like the porta-potties of old. The entire environment was cleanand well maintained; the layout of the eventmade sense…all of the rides kept in one area,exhibits in another, and there was plenty of roomto move around.

The food seemed, for many, the mainattraction. Fairgoers happily stood in long lines

drooling for that first taste of funnel cake, chick-en on a stick, or cotton candy. Even I got caughtup in the promise of some savory delight, butsadly I was disappointed. Perhaps my palate hasmatured too much, but the only thing I found

slightly tasty was the greenapple covered incaramel…now that was amaz-ing!

Exhibits were crammed intoevery inch of each building.Dioramas and tri-fold displaysinformed me of things forwhich I never wondered…theimportance of duct tape,forestry issues, and such. “Dostudents still do these worth-less projects? Really?” myfriend asked. I had to agree—

in this time of computers and cell phones itseems to me that these competitions shouldrequire a technological element. I give the com-petitors an A for effort, but the contest planningcommittee failed miserably in my book.

I am not a ride-goer, but I must admit thatmy favorite part of the fair was the Agri-lift thatgently transported me to the other side of thefairgrounds. From my vantage point far abovethe ground, I was able to see everything!

Yes, my day at the fair was better than Iexpected but still not comparable to that of awide-eyed child. I appreciate the efforts ofeveryone involved in bringing this event to ourcommunity, but I’ll save my energy for a fun-filled day of shopping.

06 OCTOBER 14 - 28, 2011

The long held Halloween experi-ence Underworld Macon is tak-ing a hiatus this year and thatcurdles the blood of localHalloween thrill seekers. Butdon’t be dismayed, there areseveral options available to sat-isfy your thirst for Octoberentertainment.

Corn Maze at LaneSouthern Orchards

For four years now, Lane SouthernOrchards has treated the community to anA-MAIZE-INGLY good time. Each year, atheme is chosen and a blueprint is createdto bring forth a unique design speciallydesigned to befuddle Middle Georgia.

In July, the corn is planted and, inSeptember, when the corn is just 2 feethigh, a professional team comes to performtheir magic—carving out a labyrinth ofturns and twists sure to bewilder the mostavid puzzle solver. But don’t worry, the pathis strategically labeled with hints and youcan even get help via Corn Texting.

While you are in the maze, be sure tolook for the “CORNUNDRUMS”—23 signsposted along the way, find them all and beentered in a special drawing. Combinedwith hay rides, bon fires, shopping in thecafé and unlimited access, the Corn Mazewill keep your family busy all day.

The Corn Maze is open all seasonwith a special Fall Festival on October 22.The fundraiser benefits the Children’sHospital in Macon and offers additionalactivities: pedal tractor races, kiddie cor-ral with a moonwalk and slides, livemusic, pumpkin carving and more.

Hell Gate - Rain ChurchOct. 21 – 23; 28 – 30, 8 – 10:30 p.m.Don’t let the fact that a church is present-ing this experience lull you into a falsesense of security; this production offers aspine chilling reality rivaling anything youwill find at any local haunt. The differ-ence? While the scenes depicted at aHalloween haunt might shake you up fora minute, the scenes you find at Hell Gatemight just haunt you enough to changeyour life.

“Drama is not new as far as evangel-ism goes,” said Pastor Paula Johns.

“When Amiee Semple McPherson drewhundreds of people into the AngelusTemple in Los Angeles with drama, SisterAimee said she ‘would not hesitate to usethe devil's tools to tear down the devil'shouse.’ She was referring to Hollywoodvalues. Since then, drama has been asuccessful medium in worship and evan-gelism for the church in general.”

Johns’ church, established in 1943,has utilized drama in effective ministry foryears. This year, the church started in Julymaking plans for Hell Gate 2011. “It has alife and spirit of its’ own, grabbing into its’clutches, actors, leaders, and a pull onthe community to come see what HellGate is about,” Johns said. “It is a realitywalk through that is shaking to say theleast. The age old story of good and evildressed in dynamic costuming and pro-fessional make up.”

There are guns and spirits, and evil, butthe final scene brings it all together withhope for eternal life. “The material isexplicit. It is not for young children,”Johns cautions.

The production runs Friday – Sunday,October 21-23 and Friday- Sunday,October 28-30 from 8-10:30 pm at TheRain, 257 Gunn Road. The tours areabout 20-30 minutes. The cost is $8 perticket.

Marion Bradley wanted to work for herself, so in 1985she began a balloon and costumed delivery company,Balloons We Luv. For 10 years, the business grew

with the community and she added clowns and character partiesto her list of services; to reflect the addition, the name waschanged to Balloons and Parties We Luv, in 1995. Finally, in2001 she opened a retail shop on Watson Blvd. offering inflata-bles, gifts and party supplies. Balloons-N-Parties is a Mom &Pop shop that has become the go-to spot for party planners inthe Middle Georgia area.

And, even though the economy is sluggish at best, thisbusiness is still growing! The shop is experiencing growingpains as more costumes are added to the already large selection.As members of the National Costumers Association, the busi-ness has special access to companies who are selling costumes.Add that to the vast stock of homemade, one-of-a-kind costumesand you begin to understand the need for larger quarters!

An extension of Balloons-N-Parties, the Costume Shopopened its doors just a few weeks ago, and it is already filled tooverflowing with just about any type of costume, wig, mask,makeup, decorations, hosiery, gloves, wings, shoes, hats, magicand anything else customers might want.

Quality costumes are available for rental year round, start-ing at just $10 for kids, great for school events—and adults aslow as $20. The store also carries a robust selection of theatricalmake up and employees are glad to give customers who requestit an educational printout to help them apply it.

Visitors are treated to a warm welcome and staff eager tohelp them find that just right outfit. Dressing rooms are ample,something their customers appreciate over the shop’s competi-tors. “Customer service is our priority,” said Bradley. “There’ssomeone there to assist you in trying on costumes and we won’trush you even if it’s getting close to closing time.”

Sexy costumes are by far the most popular costumes,according to Bradley. “Most little girls want to be Princessesand boys-Superheros…and most men just want to be goofy!”she said. To make it easier for customers, the store even offers aLayaway plan for purchases over $50. With only 1/3 of the totaldown, customers can rest easy knowing their Halloween cos-tume is set aside until October 31st.

Although you might think that business slows down onceHalloween is over, Bradley will tell you that this is not the case."Our motto is—We're here all year!—because costumes areneeded for more than Halloween!,” she said. Once Halloween isover, they start renting out and selling costumes for Christmas:Santa, Mrs. Claus, Reindeer, Elves, Snowmen, Mary, Joseph,Wise men, Angels, and more.

The Costume Shop is located at 1840 Watson Blvd; hoursof operation are Monday – Saturday 10-8 p.m., and Sunday 1 –6 p.m. Hours will be extended as necessary to accommodatecustomer needs.

SCENE COMMUNITY - EDUCATION

WINGS AND WHEELSATTRACTS 297 VEHICLESThe 19th Annual Wings and Wheels Car, Truckand Motorcycle Show on October 8, turned outto be one of the largest shows ever held at theMuseum of Aviation. A total of 297 vehicleswere at the show, with 274 competing for tro-phies and the other 23 entered for display only.

“It was difficult to pick the trophy winnersbecause there were so many spectacular vehi-cles,” said Show Chairman Bob Dubiel. “But 40volunteer judges looked at each one and wegave away trophies to the top-scoring 113 vehi-cles.” Each vehicle was scored on the condi-tion and appearance of its paint job, exteriorcomponents, and its interior and engine com-partment. And cars could get an extra 1 to 5points for any special presentation elements likesigns, photos, car history, etc.

SCENE

RACHEL HELIE

When I met up with the boys of Homeless Hill, Ihad no clear idea what to expect. As a girlraised on rock and roll by a guitarist, the reck-

less live and let live ideology was glorified andembraced. What was not is the kind of work ethic anddetermination that these guys demonstrate. That, Ithink, is what is putting Homeless Hill and WarnerRobins on the rock and roll map.

“I was walking into J&M Pharmacy the other day topick up my script and I heard our music playing!” saysDarin Curtis, lead singer and songwriter for HomelessHill. “The people who work there had our BrokenBones video playing in the back. It was…crazy!” This isDarin’s reaction to hearing the band played by anabsolute stranger in public for the first time. And forDarin, the songs are what he labors to perfect. “I consid-er myself a songwriter first and foremost.” Broken Bonesis a rock anthem but Curtis has range. His lyrics are con-templative and fierce, and the way he sings them….well. We all know what rock and roll does to theladies. Let’s just say his soulful, gritty delivery leavesnothing to be desired and being easy on the eyes doesn’thurt the band’s front man either.

Adam Crump, bassist for Homeless Hill, met Darinin high school; he was in tenth grade, Curtis was inninth. Darin wanted to play, come hell or high water,and Adam was going to play with him. Adam laughswhen he reminisces about the early days of learning toplay. “We were so bad!” he laughs. “We practiced in autility shed. We called it the Green House because itwas painted that color but it was basically just an out-door storage building sitting waist high off the ground.”He smiles when he remembers some of the early prac-tices. “We put an air conditioner on a stool and just let itrun…didn’t put it in the window or anything. “ I laughand ask him if they could even hear themselves playing.“No way! We sounded awful! Didn’t even occur to usthat it might not be safe either!”

The band has a lot of stories about the early days of

learning their craft.Danny Savage (if thatisn’t a rock and rollname, I don’t knowwhat is!) performedwith a bluegrassrevival band calledPeacock Alarm Clockbefore he met Darinand Adam. He is theorganizational back-bone of the band, andhis environment istelling of that. Theband practices in thelargest space inDanny’s home but it isnone of the grimymess you picturewhen you think of arock band practicespace. It is profes-sional and structured.No detail has beenspared. The word that comes to mind: “Immaculate.”And it should come as no surprise that his beats are asprecise. Danny first met Darin at Symmetry Studioswhere he was laying down some drum tracks withJohnny Davis, a local producer that has worked with sev-eral bands in the past and produced Homeless Hill’salbum Set It On Fire. Introduced through a mutualfriend, Danny and Darin realized that the chemistry real-ly worked for them in the session and they finishedrecording their first album before ever performingonstage together. But they were right about the chem-istry, and now after just shy of a year, they are develop-ing their sound and their fan base.

Every great rock band has a distinctive lead gui-tarist, someone who just “gets” it. Travis Denning is thenewest member of the band but what he brings to it is

undeniable. This kid is aforce to be reckonedwith. Originally fromWarner Robins, and agraduate of WarnerRobins High, he is cur-rently studying musictechnology and audioengineering at GeorgiaState University. Heplays with several bandsin the Atlanta area,including Soul Junkie,and Southern Groundwith Sonja Lee. He hasplayed more venues thansome local artists twicehis age which includethe Variety Playhouse,the Park Bench, and theRed Light in Atlanta.He will be performing atthe Georgia NationalFair in a singer/song-

writer acoustic set on October 14 and 15. With thiskind of focus, he could be anything. Homeless Hill hashim. “The guy plays anything with strings!” Danny saidenthusiastically of Travis’s talents as a guitarist. Travismet up with Darin at Kipper’s bar during an Open Micset that Darin hosted there until recently. His Open Micsession has since moved to Tuesdays at Friends on theHill. Travis and another band he was in opened forHomeless Hill a couple of times, but Travis played on.He stayed onstage, played with the guys and they wereso impressed that they invited him to stay. “I just wantto play!” says Travis. It shows.

There is more to rock and roll than sex and drugs. Ittakes hard work, focus, and sheer force of will. If any-one is going to prove that, it’s going to be Homeless Hill.So can I get a “Hill Yeah!!”

At Home With Homeless Hill

The goal of the International City Festivalwas to raise awareness of the need forrenovation of downtown Warner Robins,

to raise funds for the renovation and to fostera sense of community--the festival was a suc-cess!

With over 2500 visitors, the first festival inover 10 years provided the perfect platform forbusinesses and vendors to reach their targetaudience. Ginger Huff, owner of Salon Fusion,was elated with the response she received atthe festival. "Our experience at the festivalallowed us to just have fun with the crowd,"she said. "We would definitely do this again!"Salon Fusion raffled a $300 spa package...forthe price of ticket ($1) festival goers couldenter to "feel the peace you seek." The winnerof the raffle was Debby Gairrigus who receiveda 1 hour massage, 1 hour facial, a body scrub,a gourmet lunch and a color and cut.

Food, face painting, hair bows, goat soap,and jams and jellies were just a few of theitems that shoppers found on CommercialCircle. The stage was graced by the area'smost talented performers and bands whiledoor prizes were given out during each break.

Down the street, the community wastreated to a stroll down memory lane as theparking lot of Giant Foods was filled with hotrods and vintage cars. Food, vendors andmusic made an otherwise dull day a day toremember.

The next International City Festival is ten-tatively scheduled for Saturday, March 10.Keep up with the festival atwww.wrdda.org/festival or follow them onFacebook. For more information, contact themat [email protected]
