MAY 11, 2018 | Notice today’s date, May 11. That means there’re only 11 days left until the 2018 Georgia General Primary, coming on May 22.
What we’ve heard from lots of people is that there seems to be little interest in these races, and some mighty big offices are open to be filled. Remember the race last year to fill the Sixth District seat in Congress between the winner, Karen Handel and Jon Ossoff? It got loads of publicity, constant television advertising, and oodles of money funneling from out of state. Compared to that race, this election season is a sleeper.
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | The direction our nation will take over the next three years may very well be guided by what happens in the November, 2018 election.
Will our nation remain led by President Trump, who we presume will get the Repblican nomination in 2020 to fill a second term? Or will some Democrat emerge from their ranks to upset the Trump applecart, and return our nation to a quieter regime?
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Gerrymandering. It’s a menace to democracy, awkward, unnatural, outlandish, usually circuitous and often a patchwork, difficult to envision. Right now, however, it’s within the law, and its outcomes are hard to understand. I’m talking about some of the nation’s 435 Congressional districts.

“We turn not older with years, but newer every day.”
— American Poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), via John C. Titus of Peachtree Corners.
Duluth Fall Festival has again come and gone. The weather was great – 100 percent better than we had thought it would be! Hints of showers only served to keep it cool. Because of months of work by the volunteers, this was among the very best Festivals in 41 year history, a resounding success!
Co-chairs Chris McGahee and Alana Moss both live in downtown Duluth. Chris is with the City of Duluth as head of economic development. Alana has been a leader for the Festival for many years and has served as overall chair several times. Chris and Alana did a fantastic job, and have been asked to chair it again in 2025, and they have agreed. Money raised goes to the beautification and betterment of Downtown Duluth and local non-profits.
We are thankful for the 300 volunteers, 100+ sponsors, the faithful vendors, tens of thousands of attendees, and the City of Duluth. It takes all of these to make our annual Duluth Fall Festival the great success it has become! So, put the 42nd Duluth Fall Festival on your calendars now for Saturday and Sunday, September 27-28, 2025. We look forward to seeing you then. Before that, visit downtown Duluth, and see the wonderful transformation that Duluth Fall Festival has helped to create!
