TBT: 12 years went fast.

When [Five Star NTP owner] Lowell [Starr] mentioned to me that Dawson County Parks and Rec had canceled their fireworks and he heard of this great run under the fireworks, I wanted to do my part as one of the newer residents in Dawson to keep that tradition going and make this fun idea become reality," said DDA Secretary Seanie Zappendorf.

UPDATE: Gordon is out of surgery and the doctor said that everything went well. We appreciate all the love, support and especially prayers! We love our community!

From Dawsonville Poolroom: We ask everyone to please say a prayer for Gordon Pirkle this morning.

He will be having surgery at 9:15 a.m. to remove a very large kidney stone. At nearly 90 years old, any surgery carries added concern, so we are praying for a successful procedure, wisdom for the doctors and nurses, and a quick and easy recovery.

Most of all, we are trusting in God’s protection, comfort, and healing through it all. We know the Lord’s hands are upon Gordon, and we ask for peace and strength for him and his family today.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Tonight!! Come 4:30 PM to eat dinner first.

During the Board of Commissioners meeting 2-5-2026, the Board approved a proclamation recognizing the Lunar New Year 🎊🌙 a resident Seanie Zappendorf submitted for consideration as it recognizes that many residents of Asian-decent in Georgia celebrate this holiday (the 2023 census lists that there are 610,598 Asian Americans living in Georgia).

The presentation is during a time in which the Asian restaurants in Dawson County are busy serving dinner so Seanie Zappendorf in turn takes copies of the Proclamation and presents them to local Asian owned businesses.
