5 Things to Do the Weekend of Jan. 7

Here's a list of five fun things to do in and around Lawrenceville this weekend.

There's plenty going on in and around Lawrenceville this weekend. Here are my picks for 5 Things to Do: 1. Cheer on your team Central Gwinnett, Archer and the Gwinnett Gladiators all have games on Friday. Grab your pompoms, get some face paint and yell, yell, yell! 2. Carry a tune The Singin' Bean in Downtown Lawrenceville offers family friendly karaoke Friday and Saturday. No alcohol is served, just coffee and other beverages.

Send the kids to school The annual Private School Expo is going on at the Mall of Georgia. Come here to find out more about area private schools. It's hosted by the Fish 104…
