Officials praise staff after Pigs and Peaches festival and preview fall amphitheater lineup
Summary
City officials praised staff and volunteers for a successful Pigs and Peaches weekend, announced an after‑action review and previewed upcoming amphitheater events and fall programming.
City leaders commended staff and volunteers after the recent Pigs and Peaches festival and used the council meeting to preview fall amphitheater events.
Dr. Drobny told the council the festival drew sizable crowds despite heat and praised Parks & Rec, Public Works, police and volunteers for their months of planning and support: “I was extraordinarily proud of them,” he said, and added that the city will hold an after‑action meeting to identify improvements for future events.
Several council members echoed those thanks and congratulated staff, volunteers and vendors. One council member said they had qualified as a candidate for re‑election and another said they had recently been hired as an EMT with a Metro‑Atlanta service, comments the mayor acknowledged with congratulations.
Councilors also previewed an October Michael Jackson tribute show and other fall programming at the amphitheater and urged staff to prepare event logistics as the city moves into the busy season.
No formal policy changes or budget votes were taken during these announcements.
