Pebble Hill Plantation celebrates its reopening with a free event in the Stable Courtyard. Following recent maintenance and preservation work, visitors are welcomed back for a celebration featuring chances to win tickets to the 5th Annual Pebble Hill Polo Classic, a discounted wedding or reception venue rental at Pebble Hill, and a complimentary photoshoot on the grounds. Guests can find savings on new and renewed Annual Grounds Passes, take wagon rides through the grounds, and enjoy free admission to the special exhibition “Pebble Hill Plantation: A 200-Year Legacy” in the Elisabeth Ireland Poe Gallery.

I Am Legacy PTCA hosts a monthly giveaway that supports families through pregnancy, postpartum, early childhood, and everyday needs. The focus is on providing essential supplies alongside connections to helpful community services so parents and caregivers leave with both practical items and guidance. Core items commonly available include diapers and wipes, plus information about local resources and referrals for family support. Depending on donations and partner contributions, additional goods may be offered such as baby food or formula, prenatal and postpartum materials, personal care products, pantry staples, household essentials, items for infants and children, and occasional seasonal or specialty offerings. Inventory varies from month to month because it is shaped by community support and partnerships. This effort is powered by businesses, organizations, churches, community leaders, and neighbors who are dedicated to strengthening families in Southwest Georgia. Sponsorships and vendor participation help connect directly with local families, increase visibility for participating groups, and deliver meaningful assistance to parents and children. Those interested in partnership opportunities can contact the organizers to learn more about taking part in a future giveaway.
