PTC family gets 'Backyard Blitz' improvement

Peachtree City residents Tim and Kim Ruck take a few minutes out after working for nearly three days with a group of 60 people to transform their backyard as part of the new Do It Yourself Network show “Backyard Blitz.”

It was nothing short of a picturesque make-over in the backyard of Tim and Kim Ruck in Peachtree City. The transformation of the Ruck’s backyard last week into a suburban garden will be featured later this month on the Do It Yourself (DIY) Network’s new show Backyard Blitz.

Tim said the whole thing unfolded after they heard about the new television show from a friend who had contact with another production. Kim and Tim contacted the DIY Network for more information and ended up on the BackYard Blitz long list for consideration. Read More»

PTC yard and garden show cancelled

The annual Spring Yard and Garden Show, hosted by Peachtree City Parks and Recreation Department, that was scheduled for Saturday, Apr. 24, has been cancelled.  

“Due to the lack of commitment from vendors, we feel it would be best to cancel the 2010 show,” said Event Coordinator, Ashley Alonso. “This year it seems as though there was not much of an interest for something like this. We are hoping for a bigger and better show sometime in the future.”

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Ashley Alonso at 770-631-2542 or aalonso@peachtree-city.org.
