Treasures of the past


Hello everyone,

I apologize that it has been a while. It's been a busy summer all around. As autumn approaches and we work to finalize the Fall Creek Falls Visitor Guide and Dale Hollow Lake Visitor Guide for 2011, my mind tends to wander to the harvest of history in my life and the area. On Sept. 11th, we held a Memorial Celebration in remembrance of Sarah Ann Bowers - founder of the Rollercoaster Yard Sale. Ms. Sarah was quite a unique individual with a grit and determination to get the job done. The weekend before that, I had the opportunity to go to Pickett State Park's Old Timer's Day Celebration and meet Mr. Oscar Odum, a former CCC Camper that helped build the Pickett State Park facilities with the help of so many others. Look for a story in the next issue of the Dale Hollow Lake Visitor Guide which is scheduled for release around the first of January. We are also working on a story about the Quil Trails in the area. They are quite popular. With the colors coming soon, you might consider checking out the local landscape and the beautiful blocks that dot the terrain. Happy Trails! Annie
