The three-day Marietta Gone With the Wind celebration featured appearances by Mickey Kuhn, who played 7-year-old Beau Wilkes; Patrick Curtis, who played baby Beau; and Morgan Brittany, who played Vivien Leigh/Scarlett in The Scarlett O'Hara War.

The event kicked off Friday evening with a Sock Hop at the Marietta Country Club. On Saturday, belles and beaus dressed as their favorite Gone With the Wind characters and came out to Marietta Square for the Twelve Oaks Barbecue.

The First Annual Windie Awards and a Q&A with the special guests ended the evening at the Strand Theatre. On Sunday, fans received a tour of the Marietta Gone With the Wind Museum, witnessed the unveiling of new additions to the museum, attended an auction and received autographs.

Looks like a grand time, with that special Southern hospitality. So good to see the GWTW legend lives on through fans, young and old!
