The City of Suwanee's events are not only fun, they're also award-winning. The City received six Kaliedoscope Awards from the Southeast Festival and Events Association (SEFA) during its annual conference in Auburn, Alabama, earlier this week.

Suwanee's Super Incredible Race, a mind-bending, heart-racing team scavenger hunt/race through downtown Suwanee, was named Best New Event. The inaugural Super Incredible Race was held last spring. This year's event will take place April 20; applications, available at www.suwanee.com, are due April 5.

The City's Suwanee Day festival won five awards, including:

• Best Sponsor (gold) – Lewis Expo and Logistics
• Best Event Photo (silver)
• Best T-shirt (bronze)
• Best Creative Idea (bronze) for the festival volunteer pocket guide
• Best Vendor/Supplier – FunFare.

"I was really excited that Suwanee won more awards than any other city or organization," says Events Manager Amy Doherty. "We take a lot of pride in putting together creative, fun events that help enhance our sense of community."

In addition, the 2013 Suwanee Day festival, which is the 30th celebration of the community event, has received recognition from the Southeast Tourism Society as a Top 20 event for the fall. Suwanee Day will be celebrated on September 21. Find more information as well as exhibitor/vendor applications beginning in mid-March at www.suwaneeday.com.
