Ready, Set, Summer! still get that feeling of anticipation when the school days are winding down and summer is right around the corner. The kids excitement is contagious, plus those fond memories of spending time boating and swimming in the lake, morning or evening runs through the woods when you can feel the warm air wrapped around you, enjoying meals outdoors, and taking time to spend with family and friends. Our summer adventure guide is full of great ideas both near and far that will give your family lasting memories. I’m planning to write at least one “adventure” on the calendar each week so we have something to look forward to! For this issue we had the opportunity to interview some very special local kids. We hope you enjoy their stories as well as the rest of the issue! Be sure to check out the recent event recaps and photos, and City Buzz and the calendar for information on local happenings and many events to come in Suwanee and surrounding areas. I also want to take a moment to thank our amazing staff for their dedication and hard work, our advertisers for supporting Suwanee Magazine and making it possible, and our loyal readers for your excitement and appreciation of Suwanee Magazine. We have a community to be proud of! Enjoy this issue and the start to summer!
