The East Cobb Thanksgiving schedule is a limited one, but here are few things to note, mainly that Cobb County government offices will be closed Thursday and Friday, Nov. 23 and 24.
This includes all branches of the Cobb County Library System, which will close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 22, and will reopen on Saturday, Nov. 25, at their standard opening times.
There is a Thanksgiving service starting at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the Episcopal Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, 1795 Johnson Ferry Road.
The biggest Thanksgiving Day event near East Cobb is the Gobble Jog on the Marietta Square, presented by and benefitting the programs of MUST Ministries. A number of East Cobb organizations, faith communities and other entities will be participating in that event, which starts at 7:30 a.m.
Walk-in registration is still available and will take place Wednesday at the Cobb Civic Center, 548 South Marietta Parkway, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Here’s more from the Gobble Jog website:
“If you have kids coming with you, we will have free bounce houses there as well. We will open race day registration Thursday morning at 6:30 am on the Marietta Square. The timed 10K and 5K will be closed but all of the untimed events will still be available – 5K, 1K, Tot Trot.”
We’re still collecting information about stores and restaurants that will be open on Thursday, and will update them here. If you have Thanksgiving-related opening or closing information to share, please e-mail: editor@eastcobbnews.com and we’ll post it right away.
