HR2074: HR2074 5th Annual Green Egg and Kegs Festival at Dunwoody Village; recognize
Last action March 31, 2026 · House Read and Adopted
A Georgia House resolution formally recognizes the 5th Annual Green Egg and Kegs Festival at Dunwoody Village and honors its founder, David Abes, for community building.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes and commends the 5th Annual Green Egg and Kegs Festival, an annual food, drink, and music event held at Dunwoody Village that brings together local restaurants, breweries, distilleries, sponsors, and residents. The resolution praises the festival's founder, David Abes, for creating the event and for his broader efforts to build community through hospitality in Dunwoody. It also notes that festival proceeds benefit Breakthrough T1D, a charity supporting type 1 diabetes research and advocacy. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies for distribution to the festival organizers and to Abes himself, but it does not create any new law, funding, or requirement.
