 Watkinsville received an early Saturday morning wake up call before the supposed Grand Opening of Oconee County Farmers Market even set up with the inaugural Tour d'Oconee bringing bunches of bicyclists to Oconee County with cars coming from Norcross and LaGrange and other areas all over Georgia. Volunteers from the Democratic Party of Oconee greeted the cars as they came down 441 and State Route 53 and directed them to park behind the Oconee County Courthouse, the Virginia Wells Building and Ashford Memorial Church.

Chairman Melvin Davis always runs a very entertaining and efficient meeting, and this one was no different.  He had a very busy meeting with lots of important decisions to be made, some discussed here, others reported elsewhere. The meeting began with honoring Henry Hibbs, retiring Oconee County Extension Director, from a former extension service worker in Davis himself. Then the Board of Commissioners planned to present new Federal Judge and recent Western Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Steve Jones, who was absent and could not attend. They are planning for a future ceremony where the resolution can be read.
