There is no better voice to speak to the life of a small business owner than that of his or her customers. See how the community of East Cobb has shared their opinions of the best businesses around their neighborhoods in our Readers’ Choice winners on pages 21 — 24. We have already begun the celebration as we gather the winners together for our awards ceremony to be held at Copelands Restaurant on Barrett Parkway. Look for the awards to be displayed in the winners’ businesses!
This culture of small business excellence is reflected by our cover advertiser. On the cover this month is Invisible Fence. For more than 30 years, the Invisible Fence® Brand has provided high-quality solutions to naughty pet behavior like escaping the yard or exhibiting bad behavior indoors. “We work hard to bring safe freedom to pets and their people in our community,” said Tami Pace, Invisible Fence general manager. See Invisible Fence’s story on pages 16 and 17.
Gas prices are getting higher and it is important to find activities that are close to home. Have you made plans for your children this summer? See our listing of available summer camps on pages 28 through 31; they are filling up fast! Your child can play, explore, and discover at one of the camps listed in our Camps Guide. It is amazing how much our community has to offer.
Our desire at Around Town East Cobb is to reflect the positive aspects of our growing community. We are always looking for ideas that will provoke thoughts and actions that will bring this fast growing area together. There is no place like home and there is no community like East Cobb.
