The 2nd annual Battle of Atlanta event was a big success.
Over 120 attendees at the dinner gala at historic Meadow Nook, home of Colonel John B. Alston and over 100 runners participated in the 5K race while many enjoyed an afternoon in Brownwood Park listening to gospel singers and hearing stories from Union Civil War re-enacters.

There were also representatives in the park from East Atlanta, Kirkwood, Reynoldstown and East Lake promoting their neighborhoods. Capital City Bank sponsored a free cook-out for attendees. Chance's Gallery displayed historic images from the Civil War and East Atlanta while participating shops, restaurants and bars offered discounts.
