Pavo Auditorium Decorated for the Valentine Dance 

Pavo, GA—Despite the rain that bombarded the Brooks County/Thomas County area, the small town of Pavo, held their annual Happy Heart Dance and it proved to be a great way to get out of the house and enjoy the evening. 

Folks of all ages, from the area and surrounding areas attended getting out the house to dance the night away. “La Cocina” by Becky Reyes offered food for any who wanted to find some dinner and DJ Dynomite cranked the music up. 


“La Cocina” did not disappoint with her cuisine. Many enjoyed the variety of dishes and enjoyed them all. “The food was exceptional and before long “La Cocina sold out,” said Jimmy Brock, local member of Positively Pavo. 


DJ Dynomite was also amazing playing many varieties of genre music including hip hop, cupid shuffle, biker shuffle, some 70s, 80s and 90s music. Locals were thrilled to hear the classics as well as some of the more modern. 


Pavo’s Peacock Center was decorated brilliantly with a picture booth for Valentines, Valentine balloons, hearts, and red, white, pink, ribbons. Attendees were able to take a breath with decorated tables and chairs while watching those still dancing. 


The event began at 6 p.m. and continued until 10 p.m. Attendees shared the event with others who could not attend on Facebook showing videos of the dancers, pictures of event and commenting on what a great time this event was. 


Pavo was thrilled to see the turnout they had at this event with over 60 attendees. Plans for next years Valentine Dance is a go so if you missed this one be sure to put it on your schedule for next year. To all Happy Valentine’s Day. 


You can also see various videos of the dance on Facebook Positively Pavo page.

COLQUITT CO – The GBI is investigating a use-of-force incident death involving a Trooper and a 44-year-old Pavo man.  On Thursday, August 22, 2024, at about 2:30 p.m., a Georgia State Trooper was patrolling in Colquitt County, Georgia near State Road 33 and Lanier Road. While in the area, the trooper noticed Kennedy driving a blue 4-wheeler on SR33. The Trooper was aware of recent thefts and burglaries in the area involving a blue 4-wheeler. The Trooper followed Kennedy and attempted to pull him over using the emergency lights on his patrol car. Kennedy did not stop and drove away on the 4-wheeler. The Trooper chased him through several fields, a ditch, and back to the highway. While driving through another field during the chase, Kennedy turned the 4-wheeler into the Trooper’s patrol car, causing the 4-wheeler to overturn. Kennedy then ran away. The Trooper and a GSP K-9 chased Kennedy, and the K-9 caught up to and bit Kennedy to stop him. The Trooper handcuffed Kennedy and noticed that Kennedy had an injury from the bite. EMS and local deputies who responded to assist gave Kennedy medical treatment on the scene. Kennedy was taken to a hospital in Macon for treatment for his injuries. He later died at the hospital on Tuesday, August 27th in the early afternoon. Kennedy will be taken to the GBI Crime Lab for an autopsy. The investigation is active and ongoing. Once complete, the case will be provided to Southern Judicial Circuit District Attorney Brad Shealy for review
