1. The rapidly growing music venue Notes Live has chosen Gainesville as its next location. Notes Live's entertainment campus will feature the Boot Barn Hall music venue and the Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse and Tavern restaurant. The company combined the two restaurants and music venues into one creating the perfect combination. (Celebrity Access)
2. During a funeral procession for a fallen firefighter, a motorcyclist was critically injured on his way to the funeral. According to Georgia State Patrol, the motorcyclist was driving in the procession when he lost control of his vehicle on wet roads and overturned. Habersham County EMS transported Davis to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. (Now Habersham)
3. During a random search, investigators discovered four unregistered sex offenders in Hall County. The Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) and Gainesville Field Office of the Georgia Department of Community Supervision (DCS) conducted the searches to ensure probationers followed the law when the discovery was made. Two men were arrested, and two others were implicated for violating their probation. (Now Habersham)
