Gwinnett 200 torch to reach Snellville May 30

The Bicentennial Torch Run has completed its first legs and Gwinnett County has released the link to the Torch Run map and schedule. Please take a few moments to enjoy the photos from the gallery on the www.gwinnett200.com site. Check the schedule and you will see that the next city hall torch run stop is the City of Lilburn.

Snellville will receive the torch at 2 p.m. May 30 at City Hall. It will leave at 1 p.m. June 7.

The Gwinnett Bicentennial will be a one-year celebration of 200 years of our county's history. The state of Georgia created Gwinnett County on Dec. 15, 1818, naming it for Button Gwinnett, one of Georgia's three signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Snellville will celebrate Gwinnett's 200 years at numerous events this spring and summer. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
