Atlanta, GA -
Every fall for the past 26 years, the people of Sandy Springs have gathered together to celebrate what it means to be a community. The first "Founders Day" celebration on November 2, 1986 was organized to honor the successful "Save Our Springs" movement. Attended by over 600 residents, the event included a barbecue lunch, bake sale, arts and crafts show, and tour of the original springs. Everyone present at the Founders Day who lived in Sandy Springs before 1955 were recognized and honored.
