Latty Community Festival Raises Funds for Latty Youth Foundation Park Improvements

The Latty Youth Foundation benefitted from the Latty Community Festival last summer. Honorary Citizens at this event were Mildred and Alvin Phillips.  Mildred had assisted Dorothy Chester with writing a book about the history of Latty for the Bicentennial in 1981.  Since over 40 years had elapsed since the original book had been printed, copies of The Latty History 1881-1981 were made available at the festival. Proceeds from the book sales and some donations were given to upgrade the Latty park area.

A check for $1335.69 was given to Latty Council members at their meeting for the Latty Youth Foundation. A few remaining copies are available at the Paulding County History Museum.
