    Cam Newton Signing Party at Michons
    Cam Newton signs

    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
    True Love Theater at Michons

    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 www.trueloveproductions.org click here 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?
