In November, local coffee shop Because Coffee hosted a “Birthaversary Shindig” event to celebrate their first year of being open. The event featured a free concert by Forsyth County-based band Okay Kenedi and Music Authority’s The Band Beyond, and ended up raising over $800 for the Dawson County Schools Community Based Instruction (CBI) program
