A Note From The Publisher

Dear Readers:

Left to Right: Charlie Nelson, Publisher; Marilyn Haas, Creative Director; Mike Nelson, Associate Publisher

Welcome to the 24th edition of the Guide to Coweta-Fayette 2011.

Today our two CVB’s are working together to bring the movie industry to both counties – Tray Baggarly, Director of the Coweta Convention and  Visitors Bureau, and Nancy Price, Director of the Peachtree City Convention and Visitors Bureau, are bringing business to our area.

Our lead story “Ready For Our Close Up” about the movie industry in Georgia, focuses on two productions that are currently being filmed in our two counties. ”Drop Dead Diva,” the popular TV series, is continuing to be shot locally. Meanwhile the shooting of “Joyful Noise” starring Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah has already begun in Coweta and will be filming at the Fred Brown Amphitheater in Peachtree City this spring.

We agree that the digital age is approaching fast, and we are working to bridge the gap between reader and advertiser with the latest technology. You can now download two Guide Apps for the I-Phone and I-Pad from the App Store. One is a free download and is full of Guide coupons and related maps; the other is a very useful GPS-operated Map of the Paths of Peachtree City.

Speaking of maps, be sure to pick up your copy of the new Official Visitors Map-A-Zine of Peachtree City. It is the most comprehensive map ever published for Peachtree City. 

Special recognition and thanks for this edition of the Guide to Coweta-Fayette goes to the Creative/Production team of Marilyn Haas, Mike Nelson, Jon Riley, Anna Nelson, and our editor Kathy Vogeltanz. Each one made significant contributions to this magazine – they gave it substance and beauty that are appreciated by both our readers and our advertisers.

Our Sales Team: Neal DuPre, Mike Nelson, Adam Nelson, Marie Schlosser, Ann Soderman and Mike Simpson, have led the way all year – letting us know what you, our advertiser and readers, wanted to read and what resources you were looking for.

We believe that the success of any publication lies in the partnerships it has with its advertisers. Our advertisers are the best and deserve your patronage – please visit them – and let them know “the Guide sent me.”

Let us know if there is any other information that you would like to see included in next year’s magazine.

Sincerely,

Charlie Nelson, Publisher
