One of the many reasons home buyers love the master-planned Heron Bay Golf and Country Club community is because of its fantastic location on Atlanta’s Southside. With a central location that is convenient to McDonough, Locust Grove, I-75, Griffin and Hampton, families can always find an abundance of events and activities to attend. This weekend, parents can introduce their child to the world of classical ballet by attending The Nutcracker. Performed by the Atlanta Festival Ballet, which is partnered with both Henry and Clayton county schools, the program is directed towards children in the hopes that it will instill an appreciation for dance performance.

This year’s performances will be held on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. at the Henry County Performing Arts Center, which is located at 37 Lemon St. in McDonough. Tickets are $17 for adults; $14 for senior citizens, students and military and $6 for children.

Before you head to the performance, visit Heron Bay to see for yourself what makes this community so popular with home buyers.
