Entertainment options are varied in and around Suwanee this weekend.
What are you doing this weekend? You know what I'm doing this weekend? Of course you don't. If you did, you'd be psychic. So psychic in fact, you wouldn't even need to read this article. But you aren't psychic, so read it. Blimpie Health and Fitness Expo When I think of blimps I think of huge, rotund shapes that are so big they're even difficult to maneuver through air. Obviously I'd be wrong when it comes to the Blimpie Health and Fitness Expo this Saturday in Suwanee. Look for sandwiches and materials promoting the benefits of a healthy diet and regular exercise.

After a two-year hiatus, the Atlanta Silverbacks are making a comeback. The team plays near Spaghetti Junction off Hillcrest Road, just south of Norcross. The stadium, which can hold 5,000 fans, buzzed last Friday as players from all over the world attended a combine, or tryout, for the 2011 team. Patch sat down with Director of Soccer Rodrigo Rios before the recent tryout (see video). Major League Soccer, or MLS, is the biggest soccer league in the United States. The Silverbacks are part of the North American Soccer League, the second largest league, which was sanctioned this season, bringing the team back into the fold.

The revived Arena League team kicks off next month in Gwinnett.
Teresa McDaniel came to the park on a sunny Saturday to watch her son. But he wasn't one of the ones flying a kite, playing lacrosse or riding a razor scooter. He was one of about 40-50 people trying out for the Georgia Force, the Arena Football League (read that, indoor) team that starts play next month in Gwinnett County. The only qualifications that Ryan McDaniel, a former North Gwinnett and Samford University player, and the others needed were the $80 fee and a desire to play what amounts to a combination of football and human pinball. They also came from as far away as Virginia. Austin Faulkner, a former Randolph-Macon quarterback, and his father drove nine hours for the tryout at Sugar Hill's Gary Pirkle Park. And they came from near…
