Braselton Seeks Input on 2012 Events

Braselton Town Hall asks residents for their suggestions regarding future community events.

Taking a cue from its tagline “It’s Better in Braselton”, the North Georgia town is continually striving to provide the very best to its residents and visitors.

With a jam-packed calendar of events already planned from spring through the holiday season in 2012, in a recent post on the “Work, Live, Play in Braselton, Georgia” Facebook page, event organizers begged the questions, “What was your favorite event?” and “What do you want to be sure we do again?” As it currently stands, below is the latest schedule of events for the town of Braselton in the coming year:
