It was a “choose your own adventure” kind of weekend in Piedmont — starting with New Families Night and Movie in the Park on Friday night, Coffee, Cops, and Cars on Saturday, and Harvest Festival fun rounding it all out on Sunday.
It truly takes a village to pull off so many community events, and the weekend was full of city staff, members of the police and fire departments and volunteers helping to make it all happen.
