What We Could Not Confirm

- Page text on Pets & Pals Parade and yard sale appears duplicated, so the yard sale description is not confirmed.
- Search snippets gave Friday 7-11 pm and Saturday 8 am-4 pm from a third-party listing; not used.
- Venue street address and lat/lon not on the organizer page.

Hank Whitlock is the pen name of the It's Georgia editor. Every guide is built around the questions a busy family actually asks before a trip: how long is the drive, what does parking cost, can the stroller make it, are dogs allowed. Details are checked against official park, city, and venue sources, and each guide shows the date it was last updated.
