2019 Operation Griswold 5.0 More Spectacular!
2019-12-01 18:00 - 2020-01-01 23:00 (America/New_York) | Operation Griswold, 104 Wolf Creek Court, Cumming, GA, 30028, United States
New Revision: By Joey and Laura Tirico
Located at 104 Wolf Creek Court Cumming, GA 30028
Inspired by the hit movie Christmas Vacation, “Operation Griswold” and now Forsyths County “Gingerbread House” was born five years ago! A work in progress, my wife and I have enjoyed decorating our home for the Christmas holidays since moving to Cumming over nine years ago. We immediately fell in love with the Norman Rockwell countryside setting and friendly people. It is those friends and neighbors who inspire us every year to make each Christmas even more special than the last.
The day following Thanksgiving, its lights, ladders, and action! Resembling the set of a major motion picture, Operation Griswold 5.0 (the fifth year) is underway! Over 50,000 lights and counting now currently adorn the front yard taking about 30 days to finish. It definitely gets the attention of all the neighborhood kids who are mesmerized by the overwhelming beauty of lighted candy canes, ice cycles, lighted wreaths and 20-foot tall decorated Christmas tree in our front yard. Parents comment on how it brings back such fond memories of childhood, making our efforts so worthwhile.
While the outside can probably be seen from outer space, the inside is a totally different story. Inspired by visits each year to the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC, the inside is an elegant array of formal dining and entertaining. Whether it’s an informal bonfire in the backyard with close neighbors or a formal dinner with family, we love our home and living in such a picturesque neighborhood. We wish all of our friends and neighbors in the Wolf Creek Subdivision and surrounding community a very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year!

Paint Recycling event at South Forsyth High School
2020-01-11 10:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | None Specified
Now that the holidays are over and we are all cleaning and organizing, it is a great time to dispose of all of those half-empty cans of paint taking up space in the basement or garage. Many paints are considered household hazardous waste because they contain chemicals that can be harmful to humans, animals, and the environment. Because leftover paint is flammable and poisonous, it should always be disposed of safely and should never be placed in the trash or poured down the drain.
FoCoCure, which is a team of local high school students whose mission is to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by hosting events that raise awareness, will be hosting a Paint Recycling Fundraiser this Saturday at South Forsyth High School from 10am to 2pm. They will be accepting old paint for a fee, which will then be taken to be recycled or disposed of properly by Atlanta Paint Disposal. Please note that we are only able to accept latex paint, oil-based canned paint, and spray paint.
Please come out and support this awesome event!
