Downtown Gainesville may seem shut down this weekend because of street closures. But it will be very much alive with the festivities of the 2013 Mule Camp Market.

The annual event sponsored by the Gainesville Jaycees will feature live music, an array of vendors and food and a carnival for children.

Lincoln Griffin, president of the Jaycees, decided after the overwhelming, positive response at last year’s market, extended hours and extra road closings were needed.

Hours will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Roads will be closed at every end of the downtown Gainesville area all weekend, allowing only pedestrian traffic. Main Street, Spring Street, Bradford Street and Washington Street will close at their entry areas on Maple Street, Brenau Avenue and Green Street. Admission and parking are free. Pets are allowed.

The Jaycees expects up to 70,000 people, which stems from a hope to grow the event each year.

“This year, I would expect that we’re going to have great, great traffic,” said Chris Wunn of the Jaycees.

A free concert featuring Joe Olds, Asphault Cowboys and Twisted Whiskey is sure to attract residents. The bands will take the stage at 7 p.m. Saturday at Spring Street in the center of the market.

Vendors are participating to create more convenience

for the large crowds.“We will have food

vendors operating, and beer and wine will be available, courtesy of the Monkey Barrel,” Wunn said. “The people won’t have to walk back and forth ... to the Monkey Barrel to get alcohol and then come back. They’ll be on site there with alcohol.”

Of course, Mule Camp Market is not just for adults. The Jaycees are offering a carnival along E.E. Butler

Parkway and Broad Street for family-friendly fun.

“We’ll have entertainment every hour, different exhibitions (and) a chicken-eating contest at noon presented by Buffalo Wild Wings,” Wunn said. “We just want everybody to come out, enjoy themselves, visit our vendors and enjoy some great fair food.”

A worship service will be at 10:45 a.m. Sunday. Wunn said this aids in

accommodating more visitors who might not come Sunday otherwise.

Fall is breezing its way through the North Georgia mountains, as well as a wave of pumpkin patches and fall festivals to bring the new season to life.

One festival expects to set itself apart with famous musical acts, a crowd of 25,000 people, a fiddle convention and helicopters. It also hopes to live up to its 2013 Top 20 events award, which was won earlier this year.

The Georgia Mountain Fall Festival at Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in Hiawassee will be Oct. 11-19 with arts and crafts starting at 10 a.m. Friday. Arts and crafts will be featured each day.

Hosting the popular Georgia Official State Fiddler’s Convention, the fall festival will bring top-notch talent from not only fiddle players, but bluegrass bands, finger-style guitar, flat-pick guitar, harmonica, banjo and mandolin players. The convention will wrap up the festivities Oct. 18-19.

Musicians ringing in the first days of the event include big names such as Brenda Lee, Ricky Skaggs, The Isaacs and Percy Sledge. The Georgia Mountain Fair Band will keep music going between acts.

Allowing for visitors to arrive early on Sunday

for a gospel experience, the festival will include an interfaith worship service at 11 a.m. followed by three gospel music shows at 2 p.m.

Besides the music, helicopter rides will be given, but only on two days. Blue Ridge Helicopters will visit the festival Oct. 12 and 18.

Dan Nichols with the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds said beyond the arts and crafts, food, music and helicopters, the revival of an old event is expected to be the most popular.

“Our biggest attraction probably is going to be our lumberjack show,” he said, noting the event is returning after not appearing for a couple of years.

The Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show will include events such as log rolling, an ax toss and other demonstrations.

Reflecting the history of the mountains, the fairgrounds will feature the Pioneer Village, where locals will demonstrate the “old ways” of quilting and corn milling. How moonshine was distilled using an authentic apple cider press can be seen as well.

For visitors older than 9, admission is $11. Parking will be free. The one-day admission fee will grant access to all music shows happening on that day.

For those with limited mobility, the fairgrounds offers “A Scooter For You,” which is a scooter rental program and costs $10 per hour. Daily rentals cost $50.

After 21 years of captivating audiences, the Georgia Mountain Players theater troupe will close the curtain on their prolific acting careers.

The group cites age and health concerns among its members as the reason behind the disbandment, but they’re not ready to quit just yet. Starting next Thursday and continuing through October, the group will perform “Leading Ladies” seven times at the Brenau Downtown Center.

“We had so many requests for ‘Leading Ladies’ that we said, ‘well this is going to be our last one; let’s do it again and go out while we’re on top,’” said Mike Martin, founding member and the managing artistic director for the group. “This show is just

one of the funniest shows we’ve ever done. It’s good, clean fun that will make you come out feeling good.”

“Leading Ladies” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 17-19, 24-25 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 20 and 26 at the Brenau Downtown Center.

Tickets are $17 for adults and $13 for seniors, students and children.

Martin said Georgia Mountain Players are a

family, who will stay close even after the shows stop. They also haven’t ruled out a reunion in the future.

“We have so much fun just being together and doing the shows, and if we do something in the future, it will be for a cause,” he said.

For more information call the Brenau Downtown Center at 770-534-8420 or the Georgia Mountain Players at 770-536-4677.

From staff reports

Riverside Military Academy will perform a comedic play penned by iconic comedian and actor Steve Martin today and Sunday in the Sandy Beaver Center Theater on the school’s campus.

The free performances are open to the public.

Set in a Parisian bar at the beginning of the 20th century, “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” imagines a comical encounter between artist Pablo Picasso and scientist Albert Einstein, both of whom are in their early 20s and fully aware

of their amazing potential. Each character’s high self-confidence eventually

results in Picasso and Einstein challenging each other to an artistic duel.

In spring 1999 while working as a magazine editor in New York and Atlanta, Keith Dunavant traveled to Alabama to do a feature story on Wilbur Jackson, the first African-American to sign a football scholarship with the University of Alabama.

Jackson told Dunavant an emotional story about returning to Foster Auditorium on the University of Alabama campus many years after college. Dunavant knew right then it would make a great documentary film.

He stored the idea away and continued his career as a sports author and college football historian.

He went on to publish the Bear Bryant biography, “Coach,” plus “The Missing Ring” about the 1966 Alabama football team being denied a national championship despite going undefeated, and other football-themed books.

Several years later in 2005, Dunavant discovered the story of Danny Treadwell, who in 1966 became the first African-American to play in the Alabama state high school basketball tournament — held at Foster Auditorium.

Foster holds a troubled place in history as the site of Gov. George Wallace’s standoff with federal authorities in 1963. The courts had ruled that the university must admit African-American students, but Wallace had staked his political career on segregation.

Wallace vowed to “stand in the schoolhouse door” to prevent

black students from entering the university. And he did, sort of.

Though the standoff was symbolic, the iconic image of Wallace blocking the doors of Foster Auditorium cast a shadow over race relations throughout the state, and arguably the entire South. It forever linked the auditorium with this painful part of Alabama’s history.

“Three Days at Foster” places these and other key events into the broader story of the integration of Alabama sports and realizes the vision Dunavant conceived back in 1999.

This moving and thoroughly researched documentary tells the stories of Jackson, Treadwell and other African-American athletes who became civil rights pioneers simply by playing the sports they loved.

Dunavant and his filmmaking collaborator, Jonathan Hickman, capture these pivotal moments dramatically and with unprecedented accuracy.

One of their goals, Dunavant said, was to go beyond the mythology surrounding the integration of Alabama athletics and tell the story more accurately.

For instance, Dunavant describes the symbolism of the 1970 game between the still all-white Crimson Tide and the integrated University of Southern California Trojans as “extremely powerful.” However, he says, “the mythology that has taken root around that game has really gotten out of hand.”

“The perception, even among a lot of Alabama fans, is that Sam Cunningham running up and down the field against Alabama that night was responsible for

Alabama integrating. It’s just not true,” Dunavant says. “Wilbur Jackson was already on the team. He had been recruited the previous year and was sitting in the stands that night with some of his teammates because he was a freshman, and freshman were still ineligible in 1970.”

The project was also quite personal for Dunavant. Jackson was one of Dunavant’s boyhood heroes and “a transcendent figure” for his generation.

“When we were kids out in the yard playing football and choosing up who to be, a lot of us were choosing to be black players, and that reflects something deeper” than just sports, he said.

“Three Days at Foster” received a standing ovation at the Birmingham Sidewalk Film Festival. It has also been chosen as an official selection by the All

Sports Los Angeles Film Festival, where it will play in November.

Like an increasing number of independent filmmakers, Dunavant and his crew have chosen to distribute the film on home video while it is on the festival circuit. So the film is currently available through the official website or Amazon.

“Three Days at Foster” restores the historical place of the players it highlights, as well as the many people who supported them. It is essential viewing, whether you’re a sports fan or not.

Bottom line: Important, gripping, and timely documentary

BY ANDREW AKERSaakers@gainesvilletimes.com

On Monday, the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus will screen “Birth of the Living Dead,” a documentary about the 1968 horror film “Night of the Living Dead.”

The event is the second installment of this year’s Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers and comes just in time for Halloween and The Times’ review of the classic zombie flick in the Oct. 17 edition of Get Out.

“Birth of the Living Dead” will screen at 7 p.m. Monday in the Martha T. Nesbitt Academic Building

of UNG’s Gainesville campus and includes a “meet the director” reception with a questions and answers session.

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for seniors or students. For information or to buy tickets, call 770-534-2787 or visit www.theartscouncil.net.

In the late 1960s, college dropout George A. Romero put together a ragtag team of working class Pittsburgh residents with little experience in filmmaking to produce his low-budget monster flick. The film, which was released one month before the Motion Picture Association of America implemented a rating system forbidding

children from seeing “mature” films, became instantly controversial because of its graphic and violent scenes.

Despite the controversy, the film went on to become one of the most successful horror films of its time.

“Birth of the Living

Dead” is the brainchild of Rob Kuhns, a veteran documentary editor and longtime Romero fan, who decided to make the movie after becoming fascinated with the story of the making of “Night.” After extensive interviews with Romero, Kuhns drew upon his

previous experience with documentaries to explore the historical context of the film. He surveyed news stories about the racial violence, reviewed combat footage from the Vietnam War and studied the U.S. government’s reaction to both.

“There was a good deal of, sort of, anger,” Romero said in the documentary. “I think mostly that the ’60s

didn’t work.”The result of the studies

was a documentary that shed light on the movie’s production process and raised questions about its influences and connection to the time period. This theme is illustrated in the documentary’s tag line, which reads: “1968. Peace. Love. And the Undead. George A. Romero and the making of a classic.”

own: Greg Cochran) crowd onto a movie set to recreate the landmark trial that is headed, once again, into the headlines as the Movie: STAND YOUR GROUND, the true story of A Cry For Justice, is headed to Gainesville, Georgia on January 17th, 2014 and Reserved Tickets have just become available by going to www.seatzy.
