The new candy and gourmet treat shop officially opens its doors, Friday, Oct. 19 with a ribbon cutting by Mayor Jere Wood. A grand opening celebration is planned for Sunday, Oct. 28.
Curious passersby and treat enthusiasts have been anticipating Sweet! Roswell ever since the coming-soon sign went up this summer. Finally the wait is over, the Canton Street boutique candy and ice cream shop has its soft opening set for Friday, Oct. 19. Sweet! is the realization of a long-time dream for Karen Braddy, who had plenty of experience dealing with others' start-up initiatives. After she was laid off from a 22-year career as the general manager for the Manheim division of Cox Enterprises, Braddy focused less on the loss and more on what she had gained: the opportunity to go into business for herself.

July is National Ice Cream Month and to kick off the annual celebration, Capitol Hill in Washington already threw its 30th annual Ice Cream Party on June 21.

The Guziel family, who won second place in the Mayfield Ice Cream Below Zero Hero contest over the summer, donated part of their winnings to North Fulton Community Charities last Saturday.
A sizeable donation to North Fulton Community Charities by Roswell's young Guziel sisters turned a second place win in the national Mayfield Ice Cream Company's "Below Zero Hero" milkshake invention contest into something even more wonderful than the sweet treat they created. Over the summer, Maggie Guziel, 10, and Kelsey Guziel, 9, transformed an old-fashion cookie into the just-as-tasty Whoopee Shake. The milkshake was a hit with Mayfield judges, who placed it among the top 10 recipes for voters to choose as their favorite. In the end the Guziel family's Whoopee Shake recipe came in second out of the thousands of recipes submitted, netting them $3,000 in prize money. "We feel very blessed to have had so much support from our family, …
