It’s fall in the North Georgia Mountains which means it’s time to clean our treasured waterway, the Toccoa River. Come out this Saturday to find community minded people of all walks of life who love and appreciate the beauty the river offers to residents and visitors alike.
People will be busy making the river more beautiful and inviting than ever before – cleaning this stretch of river where you’ll find our North Georgia river cabins is so much fun, many people don’t even think of it’s actual work. Many become fast friends and in addition to cleaning the river, they spend the day sharing stories and jokes.
Capping the day off, participants receive a Rivers Alive t-shirt and a cookout.
It’s heart-warming to see so many people come together with a common interest that stems far beyond the materialism that consumers most of us. Giving back to something that seems to be always giving something to you is an awesome experience.
To participate, be at Tammen, Horsehoe Bend Park or Shallowford Bridge at 9 A.M. this Saturday morning. Just bring your smile and a willingness to maybe get a little dirty for a good cause. Gloves and trash bags are provided.
And call the Fannin Chamber of Commerce at (706) 632-5680 with any questions.
