Peachtree Corners Founders Day Festival

I photographed the two day Peachtree Corners City Celebration for the Peachtree Corners Patch newspaper on Saturday, June 30 and Sunday July 1, 2012. Thousands of people came out to celebrate the beginning of the 16th city in Gwinnett County and the newest city in the state of Georgia. Following in the footsteps of Dunwoody and Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners has over 34,000 residents. The celebration included an artists market, food, games, entertainment, music, a founders parade and a meet and greet with some of the new city officials including Mayor Mike Mason.
