This 4th of July, there will certainly be no shortage of celebration. As citizens across America gear up for their own festivities, we want to know what you are going to be doing. Residents in Bowen Family Homes’ Gwinnett County communities are close to a wide range of choices. From hot dogs and fireworks to good ole’ American fun, the Atlanta area has got you covered.
Residents of McGinnis Reserve and Bennington Square will most likely flock to Lawrenceville’s 4th of July weekend extravaganza. On the 3rd, family and friends can join the Gwinnett Braves as they host their annual Heroes of the Diamond, “Red, White and Blue Tour” in honor the Armed Forces and Military. For ticket information, visit the Coolray Field Box Office or visit gwinnettbraves.com.
If you are looking for something slightly more dramatic to kick off your weekend, you might want to check out Aurora Theater’s special outdoor concert presentation of “The Wizard of Oz” on the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse lawn. Interested in spicing up the evening? Forgo the free lawn seating and splurge on a table catered from a local restaurant. Finally for the big day, the “Band of Gold” will play a concert series on the Courthouse lawn while free crafts and face painting entertains the kids. For more information, please call the Lawrenceville Visitors Center at 678-822-5450. Read More→

The great outdoors provides fresh air and free exercise. What could be better?
What if you had easy access to trails, a lake, pool and more, then had a beautiful, comfortable home to return to close by? That’s exactly what you get at the Bowen Family Homes community of McGinnis Reserve.

The community also features a pool (with a mushroom play fountain for the tinier tots), tennis courts and a clubhouse. Residents at McGinnis Reserve also have access to the Suwanee Greenway Trail System which is perfect for walking, running or biking long distances. Read More→
On June 1, Gov. Sonny Perdue signed the Georgia Water Stewardship Act, extending the water restrictions Gwinnett home owners have long enjoyed to the rest of the state. The new law of the land will require homeowners to limit their landscape watering to some time between the hours of 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. (Anytime is fine for watering a vegetable garden, but smart gardeners will still choose early mornings and evenings to avoid losing water to evaporation.) But that’s not all. Beginning in July 2012, water-saving plumbing fixtures will be required in every Gwinnett new home (and other new homes throughout the state, for that matter).
With all the talk about water stewardship, it may be time to look into ways to conserve in other areas, too. And in these penny-pinching times, it’s refreshing to learn that many practices that conserve natural resources also conserve dollars.
