There's a reason the town slogan for Rutledge is "Small But Special". Located in Morgan County near Madison, Georgia, Rutledge is home to Hard Labor Creek State Park and small--but special--summertime events. The town may seem little at first glance, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have big heart--and big plans for summer. Here are the events currently scheduled for July:
