Join us for a special tasting led by Katherine Haswell, National Ambassador for Mary Taylor Wines, as we explore some of Europe’s most exciting under-the-radar wine regions. This class shines a spotlight on wines that over-deliver, offering exceptional quality, character, and sense of place from Old World regions off the beaten path. Through guided tasting and storytelling, you’ll learn why lesser-known regions often represent some of the best values in the wine world, how to spot these hidden gems, and why curiosity is one of the most powerful tools a wine lover can have. Expect fresh perspectives, delicious surprises, and a deeper appreciation for the diversity of European wine beyond the usual names. See you at Athens Cooks!

Please join the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce as we celebrate the ribbon cutting for the new Brightpaths playground!  Thanks to Brightpaths' generous supporters, their families now have a space where children can play safely while parents are in counseling or parenting classes. This isn’t just a playground… it’s a place where their family support specialists can work hands-on with parents—practicing child development skills, positive discipline strategies, milestone screenings, and strengthening those all-important parent-child relationships. They'll open the playground at their Spring Fling: drop by just for the ribbon cutting, or bring the whole family for a morning of bounce houses, easter egg hunts, face painting, and more as they kick-off Child Abuse Prevention Month!
