They came from Newnan and many other places Saturday, to Buford to become Atlanta Falcons fans again.

The Insolia family made the journey from Coweta County to be a part of the Falcons' so-called tailgate event. In fact, it was a fan extravaganza to build interest for the coming season, which begins on Sept. 8 at New Orleans.

Saturday's event included music, fan activities and food in large numbers. Head Coach Mike Smith and several Falcons players attended (see the attached photos and video).
