Winning PEEPs Contest Entry Honors Work of Habitat for Humanity

Winner Stacie Stamper: "Everybody has a way to give."

  The winner of the Patch Easter PEEPs contest is a diorama that shows a little marshmallow figure in a hard hat helping to build a home while other PEEPs cheer him (or her?) on.  The entry by Stacie Stamper honors the work of the Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, which helps support the nonprofit’s mission to provide decent housing for low-income people around the world.  "That's so exciting. How fun is that?" Stamper said when she learned that her entry had won. Second place goes to Martin Burrow of Winder, who used jelly beans and a glass jar to create a colorful PEEPs floral arrangement.

Win Tickets to “Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show”

The celebration of the music and comedy of the Rat Pack is coming to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

  Virginia-Highland/Druid Hills Patch is giving away two pairs of tickets to “Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show” at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and you could be a winner! The show embodies the era when Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Dean Martin - often referred to as the Rat Pack - were the epitome of cool with their music and witty onstage patter. Before he died, Bishop tapped Sandy Hackett, the son of the late comedian Buddy Hackett, to bring the spirit of the Rat Pack's sold-out shows to life. Entering this contest is easy. All you need to do is post a comment at the bottom of this article to tell us why you want to see this show. Just a sentence or two is fine. We’ll conduct a random drawing from those entries, …
