The Local No. 7 has recently added a new feature to its menu: a Sunday brunch served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each week. Owner Luis Finley said that the restaurant has been serving Sunday brunch for about three to four weeks now, but doing so quietly and seeing how it works. He's considering expanding to offer Saturday brunch in the future if Sunday goes well.

Now they're holding a two-day convention in Macon for anyone interested in possibly making cottage foods a money-earning activity. Here are some examples of cottage foods: breads, cakes, pastries, cookies, fruit pies, jams and jellies, dried fruits, dry herbs/seasonings, cereals and trail mix, coated…
