Annual Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival
Conyers’ first cherry trees were donated by Hideo Ogino, former President of Maxell Corporation of America. To further nurture the friendship and exchange of Japanese culture, in 1982, Maxell along with the Chamber of Commerce, held the first Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival. The festival featured Japanese cooking classes, silk flower arranging, Oriental doll exhibits, Origami exhibits, Kabuki theater, bonsai tree exhibits, karate demonstrations and a Haiku contest.
From that simple beginning, the event has grown to include thousands of participants from many diverse cultures. Scheduled during the blossoming of the beautiful Yoshino Cherry Trees, the festival encourages cultural understanding and friendship through international music, dance, arts, crafts, food, games and entertainment for all ages.
Iron Hoof Disc Golf
The Iron Hoof Disc Golf Course is now open at the Bald Rock Meadows location on Costley Mill Road. This is an 18-hole championship disc golf course designed to cater to players of all skill levels, from beginner to seasoned professionals. Key features of the course include three turf pads and two baskets per hole.
Disc golf is similar to the game of golf, but rather than balls and clubs, players use a flying disc or Frisbee. Players throw the golf disc from a tee to a target, or the hole, usually an elevated metal basket. Disc golf is enjoyed by players of all ages and gender identities, and boasts health benefits such as aerobic exercise, upper and lower body conditioning and mental stimulation. There are more than 9,800 disc golf courses worldwide, with more being installed every day.
