Covington is a wonderful place to live, a place where it’s easy to forget how many people are in our community because it still maintains a small-town vibe. But it’s not exactly the place to go for entertainment on the weekends. Most of our staff live locally and travel out of Covington for entertainment. It seemed only natural to try and help the people of Covington by educating them on what’s going on in the world of entertainment, as well as the world of news.

We launched our email newsletter last week. If you are on our email list, then you probably received the East Atlanta Entertainment newsletter in your inbox. If you didn’t, you’re missing out. There’s information on local eateries, activities and places to play, plus a comprehensive entertainment calendar. It’s not just Covington and Conyers, either; it’s all of the greater Atlanta metro areas — it’s the places you visit on the weekend, and some you’ve never heard of.

So email apittman@covnews.com and sign up for the newsletter. Visit the Facebook page at East Atlanta Entertainment and click on the Entertainment section of CovNews.com to see the calendar.

And email us if you know of events coming up, or if you’d like to see something we haven’t touched on. We want to hear from you.
