Drive-in Bingo, other events, coming to Briscoe Park for Senior Center members

From 1 to 3 p.m. Jan. 26, there will be a Bingo event at the softball field parking lot at T.W. Briscoe Park for Senior Center members. Players can pull up their vehicles and play Bingo from the confines of their car. Large cards will be held up with letters and numbers and when the player gets Bingo, they will honk their car horn to announce they have won. The event is limited to 20 cars. Cards will be distributed when players drive up and check-in. Call the park office at 770-985-3580 to reserve a spot.

It’s just the latest event SPR officials have come up with to keep Senior Center members entertained, yet safe in these days of COVID-19.

A Modern Fluid Art Class will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Feb. 10 at Briscoe Park in the Betty McMichael Room. Cost is $15 – snacks and supplies are included. Those taking part in the modern art class can take home their own 8-by-10-inch paintings.

A card-making class will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. Feb. 8 at Briscoe Park in the Betty McMichael Room.

Call the Senior Center at 770-985-3580 to register for these classes.

And as the weather turns colder, indoor tennis lessons will be given to all age groups in the basement of the park office. Visit aetennis.com or contact Coach Anthony Evans at 470-417-4547 to schedule a session. For more information on how to become a Senior Center member visit www.snellville. org/senior-center.

Snellville Days Festival canceled for 2021

Due to logistical complications brought on by COVID-19, Snellville Parks and Recreation has announced that the 2021 Snellville Days Festival has been canceled.

“The COVID pandemic has affected all of our lives in one way or another in 2020, and now it seems clear it has moved over into 2021,” said Parks and Recreation Director Lisa A. Platt, CPRP. “There is no way for us to be able to create a quality event for our citizens and visitors under the current COVID-19 pandemic situation. Even though the event is still five months away, the planning and support needed from sponsors, vendors and the uncertainty of large groups being able to assemble, it just makes this event not possible for 2021.”

The event, which usually takes place the first weekend in May, was canceled last year as well, as the event was slated to take place as the virus was on the rise. However, city officials say the cancellation could be the first step to “re-imagining” the festival when it does come back, transforming it into a better, more successful event.

The Snellville Days Festival is the city’s largest annual festival drawing thousands over two days to T.W. Briscoe Park. For more than four decades, the festival has brought friends and neighbors together to enjoy two days of food, games, entertainment and arts and crafts vendors.
