Suwanee merchants for the second year will host Toast @ Town Center to promote entertainment and in-store events on the last Thursday of each month.

The first 2010 Toast @ Town Center is slated for next Thursday and will run until October. During the event, patrons can bring drinks bought at Town Center restaurants – coffee, sodas, beer and wine – from shop to shop and within the park.

Town Center is at the intersection of Buford Highway and Lawrenceville Suwanee Road.

“The idea is to create a fun, street festival-type atmosphere," Downtown Manager Catherine Dixon says. “Families might be able to find a great dinner special or a one-night-only bargain at one of the Town Center shops. Others might find this a fun way to get a head start on the weekend.”
