George W. Bush visits Lake Oconee

Ex-president George W. Bush was here Monday for the dedication of our new performing arts center. Festival Hall will be a full-tilt facility capable of featuring a full orchestra, a ballet, or play. It is part of our Oconee Performing Arts Society (OPAS) which is partially funded by Reynolds Plantation.
I hosted an open house for area agents at my new listing just steps away. It's a fully renovated historic retail building on main street. I love the building...it is quite unique, having a very nice loft-style residential unit above the retail. It was built in 1900 and was first a drug store...now a frame shop run by the owner. She wants to keep her business here with a 2-year lease.
