Oct 12 2026 Oconee County Bat Festival Join us at the 3rd annual Oconee County Bat Festival! It’s a free, family-friendly event all about our native, nocturnal, insect-eating friends: the bats. The festival will have educational talks, local vendors, games, activities, arts & crafts, and food. We’ll also have a plant sale for you to build a bat garden in your own yard. Celebrate the season by trick-or-treating around our booths and participating in our costume contest! We’ll even have Georgia DNR live bat ambassador Commissioner Gordon making a guest appearance! Finally, we'll be finishing out the night by going on a bat walk to listen in on wild bats who call the park home. The festival will be on Monday, 10/12, at Heritage Park in Watkinsville and will run from 4-8 p.m., with booths and vendors closing at 7:30 p.m. to lead into our bat walk. If you have any questions, please contact the Oconee County Extension office at 706-542-7078.

Whether you are a freshman without an idea of where to begin or a senior working on your application, join me as I go over key factors to consider when building your college list, differentiate the application platforms, highlight a few scholarship opportunities, break down the main components of the application process, and provide you with writing tips. After the presentation, you’ll have time to work on your essays and receive feedback from both peers and me. Bring your questions and your laptop if you prefer typing your essay!
