Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally recognizes and commends the 5th Annual Green Egg and Kegs Festival at Dunwoody Village and honors its founder, David Abes. ### Plain-language summary This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives praising the Green Egg and Kegs Festival, an annual food and beverage event held at Dunwoody Village. The text describes the festival's growth since its founding, its charitable fundraising for Breakthrough T1D (a type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization), and its impact on local businesses and community life in Dunwoody. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the House's recognition of the festival and its founder, David Abes, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to festival organizers and Abes himself. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends the 5th Annual Green Egg and Kegs Festival held at Dunwoody Village. - Honors festival founder David Abes for his role in creating and building the event. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to festival organizers and Abes. - Contains no changes to Georgia law, funding, or regulations; it is purely a ceremonial statement. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names the Green Egg and Kegs Festival organizers, founder David Abes, and by extension local Dunwoody restaurants, breweries, sponsors, and volunteers involved in the event.
