SUWANEE, Ga. -- It’s a piece of concrete. It’s a piece of art. It’s a piece of history. It’s a section of the Berlin Wall, and it currently is standing in front of Suwanee’s City Hall at 330 Town Center Avenue.

This iconic symbol of the Cold War era stands approximately 13 feet tall and weighs 8,000 pounds. The once-western-facing side of the concrete section features graffiti artwork that depicts a building, people, and the American flag. The wall section is anticipated to be on display in Suwanee over the next couple of months while the Auction Management Corporation prepares to auction off the four-ton historic/artistic marker.

The 2013 City of Suwanee event calendar includes six races, seven festivals, three movies, at least four concerts, and a variety of other traditional favorites including Woofstock, Trek or Treat, and the 30th celebration of Suwanee Day. Among the more than 30 events on the calendar are a handful of new ones being organized by private groups as well as two sponsored by the City: a September unveiling of the artistic, permanent setting for Suwanee’s 9/11 artifact and an event being called Food Truck Friday.

On Food Truck Fridays, to be held the first Friday of the month in May, June, August, and September, several trucks, offering a variety of ethnic and comfort foods, will pull up at Town Center Park. The community is invited to come enjoy a casual dinner and musical performances from the Town Center stage. On the first Food Truck Friday on May 3, local high school jazz bands will perform.

ROME, Ga. -- The Berry College Theatre Company's production of Letters to Sala opens Thursday, Nov. 8.

The new play, written by Arlene Hutton, is based on a true story. It revolves around Sala Garncarz Kirschner and the 352 letters she collected during her time in concentration camps during World War II.

Berry junior Hannah Ausband, a music major from Suwanee, composed original music for the play.

"Letters to Sala is simply a story worth telling," she said. "I really enjoy using music to tell stories, so naturally I was excited and honored to have been given the opportunity to do so for this play. Ultimately, my main hope is that it will move people and cause them to question the realities in which we are living."

Berry assistant professor of history Matthew Stanard will host a talk-back after the play for audience members who wish to learn more about the play and the time period.
