Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 411
A weekly email that helps Historic Norcross neighbors feel connected, informed, and at home.
DID YOU KNOW...?
The votes are in, and Paws in the Park won! I’m working on finding a date when the weather feels just right, not too hot and not too chilly, so the pets can enjoy it too. I’ll share the date once it comes together. I’m already excited to see a parade of pets strolling through Historic Norcross!
PHOTO OF THE WEEK
The Bare family recently found this handsome fellow and is hoping to help him land in the right home. He’s neutered, middle-aged, well-mannered and would likely be happiest as the only pet in the house. If you or someone you know might be the perfect match, reach out to Josh at 678-313-4568!
Submit a photo to be featured! This can be you/your family, cool critters around town, cozy corners you like to rest in, events, the train, sunsets, etc! It’s up to you - just send your photo and a brief description to norcrosssocial@gmail.com!
