It was a fine sunny weekend last year at Azalea Festival, in Valdosta, in Drexel Park, across Patterson Street from Valdosta State University. WWALS will be back there this rainy weekend.

We’ve got a great location, at the entrance from E. Brookwood Drive.

Those creeks of course carry trash with them. WWALS is discussing this problem with the City of Valdosta. You can help by reporting any trash or litter problem you see with Valdosta’s Click ‘n’ Fix smartphone app.

The Azalea City Trail runs through Drexel Park, right in front of the WWALS booth.
