On Saturday, I attended seven events: the over-40 bike ride, the Roswell Historical Society Flea Market, the Ginny Jog, the Centennial H.S. Band yard sale, the RAMBO Mtn. Bike Festival, Carolina Creek Ribbon Cutting, and the Riverside Concert, and stopped by a touch football game and a soccer game meeting.
