The Southeastern Quilt & Textile Museum will have opening ceremonies Saturday at 10 a.m. at 306 Bradley St. Three members of the museum site selection committee — Marilyn Osterkamp of Athens, Mary Ross of Canton and Jane Kingsley of Carrollton — will cut the ribbon, opening the doors to the debut exhibit “Celebrating 25 Years,” a collection of quilts made by members of the West Georgia Quilters Guild.
On the south side of the county, the Roopville Homecoming Festival will feature arts, crafts and food vendors, kids’ games, rides, live music and a car show that doesn’t close until 6 p.m.
On the north side, Temple Founders Day salutes Robert Henry Temple with a pancake breakfast, kids’ train ride, dunking booth, food and local vendors. The festival is open until 9 p.m.
Eclectic Live!, inspired by the University of West Georgia’s art and literary magazine, takes the stage at The Amp at Adamson Square Saturday night at 7 p.m. The free event is described as a “live version” of the magazine and will feature art, poetry and music.
