| This snail ornament made national and international news |
Snellville has issued an annual Christmas ornament for decades. This years' ornament has a snail on it. Not just any snail, but a snail decked out festively in a Santa hat and scarf thrown jauntily about his wee neck. The snail is set against an elegant background of snowflakes.
The ornament is being considered a memorial to the armored slug called Snelly by some. I dubbed him Snaily. Now that he's arriving by armored vehicle, maybe he should be renamed Sir Snaily. I hope he won't be getting uppity after all this attention.
The Farmers' Market starts at 8 am on Saturday, July 31st. Snaily the memorial ornament will arrive at 10 am. The Farmers' Market will be held until noon.
The ornaments were donated by the City of Snellville to Snellville Tourism and Trade Association (S.T.A.T.), and the proceeds from the sales of the ornaments will fund the Christmas Tree lighting event in December.
So, if you've been wanting to get your hands on the 2010 Snellville Christmas Ornament, be sure to be there early. This is one time that a snail is expected to move fast.
