ABOUT MARMADUKE
Marmaduke, the world's most lovable Great Dane, leaps from comic strip fame to big screen stardom in this family comedy event.
A suburban family moves to a new neighborhood in Orange County, Calif. with their large yet lovable Great Dane who has a tendency to wreak havoc in his own oblivious way. But it's not all living large for the Duke, who finds that fitting in with his new four-legged friends - and a potential romantic interest - isn't always easy for a super-sized teenage dog. Owen Wilson gives the beloved Great Dane his voice in the film, which also features the voices of Fergie, George Lopez, Emma Stone and Kiefer Sutherland.

In September, Milton will hold its second annual Milton Roundup fall festival — and save its birthday celebration for later.
Last year the city organized the community gala in the fall and billed it as Milton's birthday party, even though it was neither on the day residents voted for cityhood, which was in July, nor the day that the city officially came into being, which was in December.
Last year's combined event attracted more than 2,000 people. This year's festival, set for Sept. 13 at Birmingham United Methodist Church, will feature a chili cook-off among teams of police and firefighters, hot air balloon rides, a mechanical bull, music, and other family entertainment. And, of course, there will be equestrian shows as befits a community proud of its many horse farms.
The city needs volunteers to help put on the program. Anyone willing to roll up their sleeves and get their boots dirty should call Linda Blow at 678-242-2489 or e-mail her at linda.blow@cityofmiltonga.us.
