The outpour of love from everyone that gathered at the Eagles Landing Country Club for Councilman Elton Alexander's 7th Annual Women's History Month Award Ceremony was a beautiful sight to see. This event was extraordinary, honoring over a dozen women of different ethnicities and from various occupational backgrounds. Although this was a night focused on women, Dr. Yusef Salaam, one of the exonerated five attended as the Father of love Honoree. With beautiful selections by singer Lydia Middleton, several amazing performances by celebrity saxophonist Richard Shaw Jr., a captivating dance performance by the Eagles Landing Dance Center, "two hands up" snap finger worthy poetry by poet laureate Hank Stewart and a vibrant night full of rocking, two-stepping, and loud singing thanks to Dj Kandy.

It stands true that The City of Stockbridge is for the people by the people! In the year 2020 Stockbridge celebrated 100 years of cityhood and this past Saturday, September 25, 2021, the city held their amphitheater grand opening ceremony, making history as the first amphitheater in Henry County, Georgia. Providing a "live, work, play" lifestyle the amphitheater gave citizens high hopes and expectations and the city delivered with award-winning musical legends Gladys Knight & Patti LaBelle headlining the grand opening concert.
The ribbon cutting set the tone for the nights's anticipated excitement.
