Paddle Georgia Launches In Ellijay

Paddle Georgia will shove off on their 92 mile trip (in 7 days!) from the banks of the Coosawattee River in Ellijay on June 20, 2009. Details about the entire trip can be found on the Paddle Georgia website. Gilmer County is set to give the paddlers a big send-off. Paige Green, President of the Gilmer County Chamber of Commerce said, "we are having a music festival in downtown on June 20th from mid afternoon to 9pm in the city parking lot that adjoins the Times-Courier. In addition, country music star, Ty Herndon will perform at the Ellijay Elementary School that evening. The afternoon music festival will feature local talent and will be free to the public. Tickets for the Ty Herndon concert start at $10 and are available at the Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center." Paige further indicated that "plans are still very fluid". Keep in touch with this blog for all the details.
