Interesting news about this popular event has recently emerged:
"Each year for three days in September -- Labor Day weekend -- the busiest place in Coweta County is the Powers Crossroads grounds off Highway 34 West near the Heard County line.
Those three days the Powers' Crossroads Country Fair and Art Festival takes place on the nearly 100-acre site owned by five local organizations -- Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce, Newnan-Coweta Art Association, Coweta 4-H, Newnan-Coweta Jaycees and the Pilot Club of Newnan. For most of the other 362 days a year, the Powers' site is idle.
A new push by Coweta Festivals Inc., the non-profit organization which stages the festival in conjunction with the five local organizations, is aimed at decreasing the idle days at Powers. There are plans for community activities, tours, demonstrations as well as offering the Powers grounds for private individual and corporate functions. "
