City Spotlight

Carl House Boasts an Eventful February

One of North Georgia’s most unique event venues opens its doors to the public during several events throughout the coming month.

While its official address is, in truth, just beyond the borders of the town of Carl, placing this popular gathering place within the confines of Auburn, its moniker and graceful charm undeniably tie it to the quaint Southern town.

City Spotlight on Carl: Closer to Auburn Than You Might Realize

Meet the Owner of a Local Special Events Facility

Auburn resident BB Webb owns Carl House, a local special events facility.

BB Webb is the woman behind Carl House, a special events venue in Barrow County. She is the featured speaker for an upcoming luncheon presented by the publication Perfect Wedding Guide. Webb will offer advice for wedding professionals. Patch: How did you get into your line of work? BBW: I was looking for something to do in Barrow County. My background is in theater, in the arts.
