Snellville Days Tomorrow! Will Aunt Edna behave this year?

The Snellville Days Festival will take place from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm (I assume it's at Briscoe Park again this year)...the festival features over 200 vendors, a children's activity area with games, live entertainment on two stages, dog and disc contests (spit covered Frisbees), the Snellville Historical Society will have a display (NOT of spit covered Frisbees.) ; disability awareness, a car show, and "Much more!!!" <--please don't hold me to the "much more." If you don't see "much more," I'm sorry. I'm just going by the ad copy here. Uh let's see, what else? Oh yes, the Snellville Days Parade will begin at 10:00 am and the parade route will begin at the Wisteria Village office center to Wisteria Drive, to North Road, to Oak Road, and then to Clower Street. By the time the parade participants get all the way around that, they are going to be dizzy. Please do not get in their way.

Do not be late to the parade or as punishment, you will be forced to go into K-Mart and attempt to get customer service.

At 6:30 pm, there will be a free concert with 1970's era dance and costume contests. I find this funny, because I don't think costumes will really be needed. All the clothes now seem to be 70's style to me.

The Atlanta Rhythm Section will be here. Prizes will be awarded (looks like you need to pre-register). Nick Pallas from Grayson will sing the National Anthem. Bringing a blanket or lawn chair is advised.

Door prices will be given and concessions are going to be available. I hope Aunt Edna doesn't get drunk and take her top off again like she did last year. It's bad enough when you see a 98 year old woman waving her lighter around and yelling "Freebird!" Sheesh.

They are really close to kicking her out of the Snellville Keenagers Club, and she better watch her back. Seriously.

There's really so much going on that I think for the best information, it would be best for you to check out the official Snellville Days Festival Website at http://snellvilledays.com

Snellville Days 2008

On this page of the Snellville Days website, you can see the list of all the people and businesses appearing in the parade if you scroll down. Mayor Oberholtzer will be in one car, followed by Mayor Pro Tem Warren Auld, Council Member Barbara Bender, Council Member Robert Jenkins, and Council Member Kelly Kautz, then Council Member Tod Warner.

I couldn't help but wonder if they will all travel the parade route in bumper cars. Just the mental image of that amuses me. Yeah I know, I'm twisted and sick...but that's why you like me, right? Oh be honest, don't you think it would be great fun if they could do that? It would be so healing to the entire Snellville community and show that we can have a sense of humor 'round here.

"The 2008 Snellville Days Festival will be held May 3rd & 4th at T. W. Briscoe Park in Snellville, Georgia, and is one of the city's premier events.
