Offering insights at Big Shanty

Shelley Elder's tent at the Big Shanty festival in Kennesaw drew numerous visitors interested in redoing their will, learning more about trusts and other legal tools. 

Elder, a Gold sponsor at the festival, said it's critical for people to deal with such issues before it is too late. If not, families can be torn apart over the unanswered questions and differing interpretations of one's wishes. 

Thousands of attendees gathered for the two-day festival, held April 22-23, and they were greeted by warm weather, the annual parade and enthusiastic vendors and musicians. 

The Elder Law Firm tent was on the corner of Main and Cherokee in downtown Kennesaw.

Shelley offered iphone 'wallets,' mouse pads and fact sheets as well as candy for the kids.

The Big Shanty Festival welcomed thousands on Saturday, April 22.
