‘Groovy’ design selected for Suwanee Day
 Suwanee resident Shannon Scheels has been attending the annual Suwanee Day festival every year since her son was born 8 years ago. This year she’ll have additional motivation to attend the community celebration: Her design has been selected as the official 2009 festival logo.
Scheels’ retro, 1960s-style design was among 81 entries from 62 individuals submitted through this year’s design competition.
“The selection panel loved the bright colors and tie-dyed lettering in Shannon’s design,” says Suwanee Events Coordinator Amy Doherty. “Her design reflects the energy and celebratory nature of Suwanee Day.”
The design will be printed on t-shirts provided to Suwanee Day volunteers and available for purchase at the festival.

This year’s Suwanee Day parade theme is all about the home teams, those athletic organizations and hometown heroes that give us plenty of reasons to cheer. Chopper from the Gwinnett Braves and Maximus representing the Gwinnett Gladiators will be among the home-team mascots serving as ceremonial grand marshals.

Parade participants are invited to embrace the home team theme to enhance their chances of winning cash prizes in a variety of categories: best of show, most creative, best reflection of theme, and most entertaining.
The 1.25-mile Suwanee Day parade is the traditional kick-off for the annual community festival, scheduled this year from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday, September 19, at Town Center Park.
