Snellville, GA

Looking for fun things to do this Labor Day weekend? Here are a few things I have found:

Why not try The Farmers Market, located at 2342 Oak Road, on the Town Green, adjacent to Snellville City Hall? Although this happens each Saturday from 8-12 p.m., on the first Saturday of the month, which this will be, they also hold a Craft and Antique Village! So it's close, and free and sounds like a fun outing, and to top it off, you can get some fresh fruit and vegetables too!

FYI, this Farmer's Market runs mid May through the end of October!

A little farther from Snellville, are some other family friendly events, including, Arts on the Creek in John's Creek, Love the Lake in Acworth on Saturday and Sunday, with live entertainment and food, and other fun events.

For the book lovers out there; try the Decatur Book Festival, it has parades, food, book readings and more, and best of all, it's free!

For those looking for a few more thrills, how about The Powers Crossroads Country Fair? It runs the whole of Labor Day Weekend, and features Southern cooking, art, demonstrations of specialized skills such as blacksmithing and yarn-spinning, and it has live country and bluegrass music!

Whatever you decide to do, enjoy time with your friends and family and be safe!

Happy Labor Day Weekend to All!!!!

On September 12, 6:45 p.m. you will have an opportunity to walk your students schedule and see presentations on what he/she is learning in class. How cool is that? I for one can't wait!

Did you know Buster the Brookwood High Mascot is on Facebook, friend request him at Buster Connection, and I guarantee, he will accept. He will keep you up to date on many of the exciting happenings at #Brookwood High!

The sports are off and running, literally:

Cross Country will have a meet on August 27th, 9:15 a.m. for Boys and Girls at Stage Races at River Green in Duluth.

16 High Schools will be participating in Brookwood Volleyball's all day Aloha Bash on August 27th.

And on August 30th we will play our arch rivals in Softball @ Parkview!!!

This is just a small taste of what is going on at Brookwood High in Snellville, very exciting!

Havenstone is conveniently located off of Webb Gin House Road in Snellville, a short distance from the popular Avenue shops and the Snellville/Grayson 124 shopping and restaurant corridor. With convenient access to Ronald Reagan Parkway, Havenstone has become a sought after destination for homeowners who want to live in the suburbs but seek to minimize their commute via the parkway and quick I-85 access.

Havenstone is a gorgeous neighborhood, planned for a more intimate "enclave" feel with homes sited in clusters and on cul-de-sacs. Most of the homes are 2003 and newer. Public access is restricted by the gated entrance with security guard present at most times.

Current market conditions in Havenstone:

In the past year there have been 12 sales ranging in price from $324,210 to $630,000.

There are currently 10 active listings in the community, priced from 294,000 to $599,900.

Four homes are currently under contract with pending sales, listed prices from $399,000 to $439,900.

If you are interested in a swim and tennis gated community in Gwinnett, contact me for your personal tour of homes available in Havenstone. My office is conveniently located on Janmar Road, approximately one mile from the community.

Have a great summer!

During the summer season, we try to find activities that will interest our family but not cost a lot of money. There are quite a few “trails” around the state that will direct you to a variety of activities and sites to see. I hope you will enjoy a day trip with the family and explore our beautiful state.
