By Scott Andrews | SUGAR HILL, Ga. June 2, 2015 | The sweet life in Sugar Hill is about to get a little sweeter. Thursdays@The Hill, which will feature food trucks, a farmers’ market, live music, cornhole and more, will be held on the second Thursday of each month through October, the first starting June 11.
Food truck fans can expect different types of food at each Thursdays@The Hill event. Sugar Hill residents and neighbors are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs and picnic on the greenspace in front of City Hall while listening to live entertainment. City officials are excited to become a part of the food truck culture that continues to grow in popularity in the Atlanta area.
Gwinnett Cornhole has teamed up with the city and up-and-coming downtown Sugar Hill restaurant, DaddyO’s Irish Ice Cream Pub, to form a summer cornhole league. (Cornhole, also known as Tailgate, bean bag toss, doghouse, or simply Bags, is a lawn game in which players take turns throwing bags of corn at a raised platform with a hole in the far end.) Gwinnett Cornhole has been successful with leagues in the surrounding communities of Suwanee, Buford, and Flowery Branch.
Now Sugar Hill is ready to bring the competition to its home field. Teams or individuals can sign up for the league at www.gwinnettcornhole.com. No experience is necessary and it is a great way to build camaraderie with co-workers or bring the family together for an evening of competition.
The City of Sugar Hill is also looking forward to having its first Farmers Market in conjunction with the Thursday night event. Farm-fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs and more will be available. Buying local helps to grow the community and is important to local economy. Sugar Hill officials look forward to being a part of having fresh, healthy food options more readily available. A free “Grow Your Community” sticker is available at no cost at the service desk at City Hall.
Mayor Steve Edwards invites residents and neighboring cities to join in on the excitement, “Come join us at this event for great food and fun. Thursdays@The Hill is a great way to bring the community together.”
Mayor Pro Tem Brandon Hembree is excited about this next step for Downtown Sugar Hill, “The best downtowns are those that are filled with people. With food trucks, an outside market, and a cornhole league, Thursdays@The Hill, Downtown Sugar Hill will be the place to be beginning June 11.”
Thursdays@The Hill is just part of the line-up of events that Sugar Hill is hosting this summer. The Sweet Life Concert Series is also underway with upcoming acts such as The Voice’s Danielle Bradbery and Country Music star Travis Tritt. Details on these events can be found at www.thebowlatsugarhill.com.
The Thursday night food and fun will begin on June 11 at 6:30 p.m. at Sugar Hill’s City Hall. Invite your friends, family, and co-workers and get ready to enjoy excellent food, live music, and have a sweet time.
