The Mane Dawgs defeated the University of Tennessee Martin Skyhawks 17-2 during their last home meet of the 2019-2020 season. Family members and fans endured cold temperatures and harsh winds to cheer on the team at their home complex in Bishop, Georgia. The meet included the usual categories of fences, flat, horsemanship and reigning. After a sweeping win, the team celebrated their 15 outgoing seniors with a ceremony and gifts of commemorative plaques and flowers.
On Friday, January 24, 2020, faculty, students and guests gathered to look at and celebrate the art of the professors from this past semester. The supporters of art viewed the exhibitions placed throughout the building and multiple galleries, covering a wide range of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, installation and Art X. The festivities included live music, drinks at the bar, and MFA student Luka Carter drawing personalized caricatures of guests. The night was full of lively conversation and laughter as well as intent observation and discussion of the incredible works of art.
On Saturday, December 7, 2019, the mood was bittersweet and melancholy. This was one of the last meetings of the market at that location on West Broad Street, possibly ever. The location was voted by the school board to be renovated and used for the public schools in the area as a recreation/learning center and therefore will no longer be the spot of the universally enjoyed farmer's market. Attendance was steady, despite the smaller number of vendors, and conversations were full of emotion and bonding. Kids learned about the resident chickens and rows of crops to be harvested, regulars talked to their favorite vendors, and enjoyed food options for breakfast and lunch from "Big Easy" Mike and the famous Ms. Ethel. While the future of the market is uncertain, guests enjoyed what they had and have enjoyed for years in the community made there.
