Carrollton, GA – April 28, 2025 — Keep Carroll Beautiful recently celebrated a major milestone—20 years of service to the Carroll County community, promoting a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful environment.
The celebration brought together community members for an evening of art, history, and reflection at the KCB office.
Guests enjoyed a Recycled Art Show featuring creative, sustainability-focused works by students from the Central High School Art Club. Each piece highlighted the students’ artistic talent and their commitment to environmental awareness by using repurposed materials.
A special feature of the event included the display of a quilt from the Great Depression Quilts permanent collection from the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum. The historic piece offered a meaningful connection to the region’s cultural and artistic heritage.
