		Life and Death in the Pyramid Age featuring The Emory Old King Mummy is at the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University. This unique mummy and much, much more is on display until December 11, 2011. This display features items from all throughout time and an emphasis on the Pyramid Age. It was absolutely fascinating and the 4,000 year old recently restored Old Kingdom Mummy is worth the price of admission all by himself! Go to www.carlos.emory.edu for admission prices and hours of operation.

The John Hollis Memorial Boys & Girls Club of Pike County 5K Fun Run, 1 Mile Walk & Tot Trot was held on Saturday, October 15, 2011. There was so much help from volunteers that I didn't get everyone as I was taking pictures. Sherri, Gene, Elaine, and others who helped out but aren't shown here did a lot behind the scenes. I love living in Pike County because people come out to rally for a great cause and to honor John Hollis. He would have been proud!
