Our food vendors this week include the Iron Wok, M's Ice Cream and Red's Lemonade. It is always a great evening of entertainment during "Pickin' on the Square"! We hope to see you this Saturday!

Escape the heat and discover lesser known spots to cool off, like Big Laurel Falls. A short hike from the trailhead on FS Road 67 past Standing Indian Campground, Big Laurel Falls is a secluded spot that has a small pool at the bottom of the falls, great for cooling off from the summer heat.

Soft, just before sunrise light illuminates Albert Mountain and the Albert Mountain Tower… another peaceful morning in the mountains.
