Over 1,500 parade participants repre- senting 80 different groups marched down Johnson Ferry Road to celebrate East Cobb! The parade staged at the Mt. Bethel Elementary School’s parking lot, stepped off at 10am and ended at the Fountains of Olde Towne shopping center at approximately 11:15am. Crowds lined Johnson Ferry Road early to get the best view. “Kids” of all ages enjoyed the floats, decorated dogs, high school marching bands, and vintage cars as they marched down the parade path. East Cobb schools honored their principals and/or their “Teachers- of-the-Year.” The EAST COBBER Parade has earned the nickname, “The Candy Parade,” because just about every entry throws candy to the crowd. The EAST COBBER appreciates the superb talents of the Cobb County Government’s Communications Department staff. The staff came out early on Saturday morning to produce the COBB TV23 broadcast of the EAST COBBER Parade. The EAST COBBER Parade can be viewed in its entirety on youtube.com. Many, many thanks to Cobb County Police Special Operations Unit and Cobb County Department of Transportation for ensuring the safety of parade participants and parade watchers. The amount of financial support necessary to ensure the success of this annual special event is para- mount. Thus, without the generosity of WellStar and Fountains of Olde Towne/Equitable Management Company as corporate sponsors, the EAST COBBER Parade & Festival would not be possible.

26 October 2014 EAST COBBER www.eastcobber.com Frameworks Gallery Celebrates 40 Years in East Cobb
ss Sisters Sunny Walker, Diane Spencer and Jean Willey celebrate the 40th anniversary of Frameworks Gallery. It’s clear the custom framing business that sisters Diane Spencer and Sunny Walker started in their base- ment 40 years ago can no longer be considered a hobby. As their business grew from the Parkaire to Merchants Walk to Woodlawn Point shopping centers, they finally settled in at their current location in Woodlawn Square 12 years ago. Also, as their interest and knowledge in original art expanded, they changed the name of their store from Frameworks to Frameworks Gallery. Frameworks Gallery is truly a local family business. The owners brought their children to work with them or helped watch each other’s children. Their sister, Jean Willey, start- ed working with them, and a son is now the framing man- ager. They’ve provided artwork and framing for genera- tions of families, and they credit their success with striving to be the best at what they do, while putting the customer first. “We love the saying, ‘quality endures,’ and we are using this as our mantra for the business,” shares Walker. Through the years, Frameworks Gallery has expanded to display a wide variety of artistic media, including oil and acrylic paintings, watercolors, pastels and pottery. In fact, they just completed the art and framing for the new East Cobb WellStar facility. “We introduce novice art buyers to the process of collecting fine art of all mediums, and we take pride in introducing veteran collectors to artists they may never have seen,” says Spencer. Longtime customer Becky Wallis shares that she goes nowhere else for her framing needs. “I have been com- ing here for years, and every piece in my house has been framed by them,” says Wallis. Frameworks Gallery will be celebrating their 40th anni- versary with customers through the month of November, including a Gala Art reception Nov. 15. For more informa- tion, visit frameworksgallery.com, call 770-973-6701 or go to their store at 1205 Johnson Ferry Road, Marietta, 30068. www.eastcobber.com EAST COBBER October 2014 27 COMMUNITY CALENDAR
