Dr. William K. Farrar, Jr. recently conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony inaugurating the opening of his new orthodontic office at 1690 Stone Village, Ste. 910 in Kennesaw, located just off of Stilesboro, a half mile from Mars Hill Road. Former patients Congressman Phil Gingrey and Dr. Nelson Price did the honors with assistance of Ron Francis, president of 1st Landmark Bank, whose children were treated by Farrar.

Numerous guests - too many to name - attended from the medical community and area. Susan Easton Burns, the artist behind many of the paintings displayed in the office, was on hand along with Donna and Kerry Krueger, proprietor of dk Gallery in Marietta, and Pat Chilton, Dr. Farrar's sister-in-law. Also in attendance was Debbie Lillig Walker, artist and former little league softball player whom Farrar coached, who painted a mural in the office.

Suzanne Potts prepared delicious appetizers and desserts for the celebration. Dr. Farrar's staff also attended and assisted, including Beth Farist, Kiki Hutchins, Mimi Whittingslow, Kristi Whitton and Vanessa Reynolds.

Family of Dr. Farrar and his wife, Debbie, attending included Stephanie Kjar with Alex, Will, Drew, Hannah and Maggie; Sally and Brenda with Madi and Ben; Susan Ogden with Kelcie and Conner; Julia Anderson with Christain; Larkin and Vanessa Reynolds with Ryan, and Corinne Reynolds.
