Moreland to host 2 events to honor authors
Two exciting events are coming to Coweta County this year which honor local authors. This pair of events are the Lewis Grizzard Games and the Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Coweta.
The Lewis Gizzard Games, a series of athletic competitions and celebrations, will take place June 22-24. Lewis Grizzard, the internationally known humorist, columnist and entertainer, began his career as a sports journalist. From his youth as a high school letterman athlete throughout his adult life, Lewis loved and played many sports. He is remembered as an avid tennis player and golfer. The Lewis Gizzard Games, honoring the athletic author, will give participants a chance to compete for prizes in these games as well as showcase his writing. Loyal fans can reminisce and new ones can discover his wit and wisdom.
Later in the fall, the Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Coweta will honor the work of two local authors, Edward and Helen Wolak, in a month-long event. Beginning September 1, treasure hunters will search for lost relics and ruins throughout Coweta County. Clues will be released weekly, and treasure hunters will scour the county for its trove of historic jewels. On September 30, in a finale celebration, the first to complete the hunt will be rewarded with the Grand Prize: one troy ounce of gold (valued 2/28/2023 $1823). Other valuable and fantastic prizes will be awarded as well.
The Moreland Cultural Arts Alliance, Inc. (MCAA) is the sponsor of both the Lewis Grizzard Games and Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Coweta. For more details and updates visit morelandadventure.com or call 678-492-3161.
