Coosa Valley is continuing its search for volunteers to help operate concession stands during Rome Emperors home baseball games at AdventHealth Stadium in Rome.
The Rome Area Heritage Foundation is calling on Floyd County leaders to preserve the Historic Floyd County Courthouse following the March 23 fire that damaged the landmark structure.
Habitat for Humanity Coosa Valley is gearing up for the return of Rome Emperors baseball and hopes fans visiting AdventHealth Stadium will come hungry.
Executive Director Betsy Allgood says Habitat operates two of the large concession stands and the nacho stand at the ballpark during Emperors home games. Fifteen percent of the concession proceeds benefit Habitat, and the organization also accepts tips.
Habitat is now looking for volunteers ages 14 and older to help work concessions throughout the season. Anyone interested in volunteering can register through Habitat for Humanity Coosa Valley.
The organization is also preparing for its upcoming Overall Ball, scheduled for Saturday evening, April 25, at Oak Hill. The event will feature entertainment from the Andrews Brothers Dueling Pianos.
Allgood says proceeds from the Overall Ball will support Habitat’s latest home build. Habitat for Humanity Coosa Valley serves families in Chattooga, Floyd, and Polk counties.

Habitat for Humanity is inviting residents to learn more about the opportunity to become a homeowner through an upcoming Habitat for Humanity Orientation Meeting focused on families in Chattooga County. The meeting will explain how eligible families can receive a brand-new home through sweat equity and a very low mortgage payment.
Organizers say the program is designed for first-time homeowners who have lived in Chattooga County for at least one year, have sustainable income, and are willing to contribute sweat equity by helping build their home and others in the community. The orientation is open to renters and families who are interested in owning a safe, affordable home and want to learn more about the application process and requirements.
