Organizers of this weekend’s Clayton County Native American Heritage Day will honor the festival’s founder. Ted Key started the festival some 30 years ago as a way to teach children about his Creek heritage as well as that of the Muskogee Indians. Both tribes lived in Clayton in the 17th through the early 19th century. Key died last fall. The festival will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Stately Oaks, 100 Carriage Lane in Jonesboro. Traditional Native American food cooked on rocks is among the activities. Tickets: $6 for adults, $4 for seniors, $3 for children and $1.50 for boy scouts, girls scouts and cub scouts who attend the even in uniform.
