Take a North Georgia Mountain Ride


Here is a good idea for a motorcycle ride this Saturday, the 22nd.  I was at Home Depot today to pick up some chicken wire for a paper-mache project and got to talking to the Home Depot guy about paper-macheing.  He told me that there is some serious paper-macheing going on up in Dahlonega right now. People are making paper-mache, and other mediums I would venture to guess, scary stuff. 

Knowing that Dahlonega is a beautiful ride and a friendly place to visit, I decided to investigate further.

It’s The Dahlonega Woman’s Club’s Scarecrow Stomp Contest.  All the scarecrows are currently positioned around the town square for everyone’s enjoyment and so you can vote for your favorite.  Then, this Saturday from 3pm -6pm is the culmination, the Scarecrow Stomp. The winner will be announced and a scarecrow auction held.

And if that’s not enough, every Saturday from 2pm – 5pm through October 13 the Appalachian Jam is scheduled!  It’s an afternoon of North Georgia mountain music, pickers and singers, acoustic bluegrass and string music held on the public square.

Not much beats a Saturday ride in the Georgia Mountains in the early fall!
