Cam Newton Signing Party at Michons |
|
If
you're a sports fan, or even simpler, if you're an inhabitant of the
planet Earth, we are sure you have heard of Cam Newton. Yes indeed,
Heisman Trophy winner, BCS National Champion, and Maxwell Award winner.
Here at Overground we had the esteemed honor of being able to join in
on the draft day festivities with members of Cam Newton's family and
various close friends and acquaintances, as we celebrated him going
number one in the NFL draft to the Carolina Panthers. Most notably in
attendance, was Newton's grandmother Hattie Lou Newton who stated that
her grandson's transition to the NFL meant "happiness." Her shouts of
joy could be heard throughout the venue. As she spoke with the various
members of the press one slogan remained, "number one!"
Cam Newton, being a native son to the city of College Park, chose none
other than Michon's to celebrate this life changing event. The
impeccable decor, professional wait staff, and renowned cuisine, makes
Michon's the perfect choice for any occasion.
Here at Overground we would like to thank the Newton family for the
opportunity to celebrate with them in such a joyous event. We truly
wish you the best.

True Love at Michon's |
|
What do you get when you combine a riveting stage play and fine dining
in an impeccable atmosphere? You get True Love at Michon's.
True Love stems from real life events of the play's writer/director,
Beverly Banks.
Banks suffered various forms of sexual abuse as a child and teenager
and would come to find herself overwhelmed by a life that seemingly
held no good for her.
"So I began writing an angry letter to God," states Banks. And from
that letter written more than ten years ago, we now have True Love; a
dynamic theatrical jewel that will make you laugh, cry, and most
importantly, find freedom.
Banks encourages her audiences to lose themselves from generational
bondage and allow God to bestow his forgiveness, and truly begin to
experience True Love.
Please be sure to stay linked with Overground or visit

for True Love's touring schedule, future events, and to purchase
tickets. Don't miss the show that everyone is talking about. Who said
True Love was hard to find?
