In Episode 47 of Georgia Living, Chris and Céline Evans cover a wide mix of family milestones, community highlights, and local news shaping life here in Cobb County and beyond.

The episode opens with a family update, including the completion of a go-kart project and a meaningful service milestone: collecting 46.5 pounds of pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. It's a reminder that small efforts, done consistently, really do add up.

From there, the conversation turns toward America 250, the upcoming semiquincentennial of the United States. Georgia drivers can now participate in the celebration through a newly released commemorative license plate, available statewide beginning January 1, 2026. We talk about what the plate represents, how long it will be available, and why this anniversary matters locally as much as nationally.

We also touch on what's happening around town and how community involvement, history, and civic pride continue to shape the places we live and invest in.

As always, Georgia Living is about more than headlines. It's about understanding the stories behind them—and how they connect to everyday life in our communities.
