Labor Day weekend may be the unofficial end of summer for some people, but in downtown Atlanta, it is an official weekend of good old-fashioned family fun and local shopping.
The Atlanta Area Chamber of Commerce is again sponsoring Moonlight Madness on Sunday from 6:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. This annual tradition brings together people of all ages. For the parents, there will be a stamp card, sponsored by KPYN, that can be stamped when visiting one of the participating local businesses; and once the card is complete, the card can be turned in for a chance to win tickets to a Texas Rangers game. 
The participating local businesses include:  Cass County Junktion, Terri’s Treasures, Cobblestone, Atlanta Athletics, Russell Cellular, Farmhouse Flowers, The Rabbit Hole, Flint Furniture and The Rabbit Patch.

Atlanta ISD and surrounding districts in the area were treated to the “Fired Up” enthusiasm of Aric Bostick as a welcome back from the superintendents. Bostick travels the country as a motivational speaker, looking to bring enthusiasm and purpose to educators, students, parents and corporations.
Atlanta, Avinger, Queen City, Linden-Kildare and Bloomburg ISD employees were all in attendance at the event.
Bostick encouraged educators to be excited about what they do each day and to treat each child as a new opportunity to change a life for the better. He told staff members that they had to take care of themselves physically and mentally to have a chance at being successful and to not be scared of being a leader when it comes to innovative ideas and styles. Bostick repeatedly reminded the audience that they were awesome and asked them to remember that as they started building relationships with students this year.
