The days following the 4th of July see sunburned cheeks, barbeque stains on white shirts, and a sense of relaxation and lazy summer enjoyment. Although everyone is just getting back into gear after a weekend of patriotic celebration, it feels like it's already time to see what this weekend has to offer. Coming up this weekend in Athens, GA, is a mixture of events that fit perfectly into that carefree summertime attitude we've all fallen into.
1) The Morton Theatre is easily one of Athens' most historic landmarks, as it is one of the first, and the only surviving African-American built, owned, and operated vaudeville theatres in the country. The historic building, opened in 1910, has recently been restored and adapted as a performing arts space.
If you have never attended a play or show at the Morton Theatre, then this weekend could be the perfect opportunity. On Saturday, July 9, One Dollar Enterprises will present "When God Calls, Will You Answer?", an inspirational gospel play that discusses the power of prayer and the importance of finding one's true calling in life.

2) Terrapin Beer Company is another highlight of Athens culture, and rarely will you find a brewery that's as eager to open up their doors and welcome the public as Terrapin is. Every Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30-7:30 p.m., you can visit the brewery and sample an array of Terrapin's award-winning brews. You can also get a firsthand look into the production process with a tour that runs every 30 minutes. With live music and a fun and lively atmosphere, you'll find that Terrapin is the place to be on weekends in Athens.
