Lakewood Cemetery invites the public to its 10th Annual Lantern Lighting Celebration. Th3 weekend event offers an opportunity for people to remember loved ones and celebrate their lives by decorating then releasing floating, candlelit lanterns onto Lakewood’s Jo Pond.
At the event, people can decorate a paper lantern sleeve with favorite pictures, messages and personal sayings, poems and other symbols of remembrance. At dusk, in a beautiful ceremony, attendees gather to release their lanterns onto Lakewood’s ten-acre lake, as the names of loved ones are read aloud accompanied by the stirring sound of bagpipes. The effect of the candlelit lanterns floating on the lake is breathtaking and magical, connecting people to their loved ones and to others who are remembering and grieving.
Throughout the event, guests can enjoy live music, food and refreshments from local food trucks, and the beauty of Lakewood’s scenic grounds. Self-guided tour brochures of the cemetery will also be available.

Touted as one of the best potato-producing areas in the country, Barnesville is proud to celebrate its potato heritage with two days of “spud”tacular excitement.
A perfect weekend getaway, the entire family will enjoy bushels of activities from sunrise to sunset. The festival, originally dating back to the late 30s, combines some of the more traditional fares with a new millennium twist. There’s something for everyone, from the nostalgic Potato Picking and Peeling Contests to the updated Miss Tator Tot Pageant and the specialized art of Mashed Potato Sculpturing.
Besides a wild assortment of potato-theme contests, games, and displays on the slate, the Potato Days Festival also boasts an “a-pealing” menu of potato favorites. The Norwegian influence is evident in the “spud”riffic smorgasbord which includes lefse, potato dumplings, potato sausage, baked potatoes, and potato pancakes. In addition, participants are invited to display their culinary talents as part of the National Lefse Cookoff and Potato Cookoff Competition.
Rated as one of the best festivals in the country by US News and World Reports, the Barnesville Potato Days Festival truly captures small-town American at its finest!
What particularly stands out in the eyes of visitors from across the country is the festival’s allegiance to its namesake…potatoes. Virtually everything you could possibly do to a potato is done over the two days…pick it, peel it, fry it, race it, bake it; but most of all enjoy it! One visit and we’re sure that you’ll agree, “It’s a smashing good time!”
