Thomasville Mardi Gras

Thomasville residents know what a caring, kind community we have.  That’s why we live here.  One of the organizations that make it so great is Hands On Thomas County. Hands On Thomas County is comprised entirely of volunteers who give their time and energy to helping out the local community by serving breakfast to seniors, cleaning up trash or serving hot meals on cold days to those less fortunate.  Since they are strictly non-profit, they need your help for funding their efforts.  This year, they are holding a Thomasville Mardi Gras and would love for you to attend.

This Saturday, January 26th at 7pm, Hands On Thomas County will be throwing a party, Nawlins-style at Pebble Hill. There will be dinner, drinks, a goof booth, a raffle, a silent auction and lots of Zydeco music to dance to.  Door prizes will be awarded for the Mardi Gras masks deemed the most creative/beautiful.  While the dress is casual, try to liven it up with a bit of Mardi Gras flair.  Silent auction items can be previewed by visiting the Hands On Thomas County Facebook page here.

For more info on the Thomasville Mardi Gras fundraiser being held by Hands On Thomas County, please call (229) 226-5200.  To purchase tickets, simply click here.  They are $60 per person and sponsorships are still available.  Laissez les bons temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)

Founder Fred Allen was trained at the prestigious Julliard School in New York.  When he moved to Thomasville in 1972, he wanted to impart some of his knowledge of the arts to local teens and provide a healthy, nurturing environment for creativeness.  Since its inception, the Thomasville Music and Drama Troupe has performed at Walt Disney World, Shea Stadium in New York, a Falcons football game in Atlanta, went on a tour across England and even performed at the White Houes this past December for the holidays. Their workshops with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Georgia has helped spread Fred Allen’s love of theater even further throughout Georgia.

Thomasville Cheesemaking 101

Happy cows create a happy product.  At least, that’s what Sweet Grass Dairy’s founders Al and Desiree Wehner believed when they opened up their Thomasville dairy in 2000. They are opening up the doors of their sustainable farm to teach you how to make your own wheel of cheese using their professional tools and ingredients with their Thomasville Cheesemaking 101 class on Saturday, January 19, 2012.

Beginning at 10am, all participants will make a wheel of cheese of their very own, using methods originated by founder Desiree Wehner herself.  The teacher of this class will be the current owner of the dairy, Jeremy Little.  The wheel will be left at the Thomasville dairy to mature but will be mailed to your doorstep once it is ready to be consumed.  The cheesemaking class will end with a cheese and wine-tasting from vineyards all over the world.  This class will be available every Saturday from January 19th through February 16th.

The cheesemaking class is extremely popular and size is limited.  So, you definitely want to make a reservation early (229-227-0752 or mat@sweetgrassdairy.com).  Learn how to craft your own wheel of cheese from one of the area’s finest sustainable farms at a Thomasville Cheesemaking 101 class.
