Wow, Georgia Mortgage Rates Drop!
Posted By Jason on September 16th, 2008
As predicted last week, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy after not being able to find buyers for it’s businesses. This action has raised significant concerns in the financial sector and has many fearing that more collapses could be coming soon. The Bond Market is benefiting from this news as investors are seeking a safe haven from the volatility. Whether this spike will continue is unknown at this time, but the gloom and doom has lead to a downward trend for mortgage rates. If you have been sitting on the fence, now is the time to act.

Posted By DeWayne Davis, REALTOR(R), Suwanee on September 14th, 2008
Last night the Hudgens Center for the Arts hosted its annual “Champagne and Classic Cars” fundraising event. The classic cars on display throughout the evening included 1930 Packard Boat Tail Speedster, 1941 Packard Formal Sedan, 1942 Packard 180 Rollson Town Car, 1948 Packard Convertible, 1955 Studebaker Speedster, 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk, 1964 Studebaker R-2 Challenge Race Car and 1988 Lamborghini Countach.
In addition to these great classic cars, the evening guests were treated to champagne, hor d’ vours and music in the midst of the beautiful “Gifts from Africa” exhibit currently on display at the center. Live music was provided by B.J. Chorale and the Stateline Grocery Barbershop Quartet, in addition to dance music from Black Tie Events. Guests were also invited to help complete a work of art on display throughout the evening – a paint-by-numbers drawing of the 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk.
The finale of the evening was the raffle drawing for numerous beautiful and innovative gift baskets provided by local business sponsors and the live auction of other fabulous donated items. All proceeds from the event tickets, raffle and auction support the continuing work of the Hudgens Center to promote fine arts in Gwinnett county.

I actually wrote this on my phone during Garrett’s ice skating lesson yesterday. I needed to play with it a little more before unleashing it on the public…
Location, Quality of Life, Location
It’s time for Garrett’s (mostly) weekly private ice skating lesson. These are done during public skating sessions, so there is always lots going on… Garrett always jokes about the figure skaters… girls without pants (remember, he’s 4). But, I digress…

Suwanee Day 5K and 10K Races at Town Center Park
Posted By DeWayne Davis, REALTOR(R), Suwanee on September 13th, 2008
Crowds lined the street in front of the park near the fountain at Town Center Park in Suwanee, Georgia this morning for the start and finish of the 2008 Suwanee Day 5K and 10K races. Visitors to the park had a variety of attractions this morning as runners and spectators cruised past the regular Saturday morning Farmer’s Market, children played in the fountain and families walked their dogs.
The City of Suwanee along with BodyPlex Family Fitness sponsored the races to promote next week’s Suwanee Day event and community fitness. BodyPlex also conducted one of their “BodyVibe” workout classes from the amphitheater stage for anyone interested in participating after the races.
A total of over 600 runners participated in the two races with first, second and third place times awarded for numerous age and gender categories for each race. The fastest time for the 5K race was just over 16 minutes and the fastest time for the 10K was around 36 minutes. The overcast skies and slightly cooler temperatures gave the runners a welcome break from the normal summer heat. Check out this video of photos from this mornings activities……ENJOY!!
