<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Summertime is all
about the outdoors, right? Being in tourism we get to see firsthand the
thousands of people who are coming from all around the country and the world to
visit just to see our beautiful scenery and participate in our exquisite
outdoor playground. They are camping, they are in hotels, B&B’s and rental
cabins. They come here to hike, see waterfalls and explore the wilderness. At
the same time our nine summer camps are crowded with kids doing outdoor sports,
hiking, horse riding and having outdoor cookouts and parents who come and spend
the weekend with us when delivering kids and again when picking them up. The
summer camps in DeKalb County are critical to our summer tourism business.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year we are
enjoying a very lush green summer with temperatures that have been mostly under
90 for most of the season, thus far. Our appeal has always been the outdoors
and we are focusing more and more on the outdoorsy; Generation X and
Millenial's who are really into adventure sports, hiking, biking, rappelling,
kayaking, rock climbing, and yes they like a good meal with a cold beer after a
day in nature. This is where our communities come in. Generation X and
Millenial's like entertainment and good food and drinks. They prioritize
spending their travel dollars on experiences that include good food, music and
a cool looking environment to do it in. Vintage 1889 restaurant, bar and
entertainment venue in Fort Payne is in a historic building with interior brick
walls, it exemplifies the experience these two generations are looking for.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our area over the last 30 years has greatly attracted the
Baby Boomer generation. They had the income and the desire to travel. They
loved Bed and Breakfast lodges, camping and renting cabins to relax and hang
their feet of the porch railing. The Baby Boomers were affluent, well employed
and equipped with full time jobs and great vacation time and they were eager to
travel and see our country and the world. In my first several years in tourism,
2008 through 2012 the “Boomers” still spent the most money traveling and they
were our bread and butter for tourism to DeKalb. That has and is gradually
changing as many Baby Boomers lost retirement money in collapsing companies or
during the great recession. Income loss along with aging the oldest Boomers
(1946-1964) now in their early 70’s are traveling less and spending less
money, as a whole. In the meantime the Generation X and Millennial have
surpassed the Boomers in income wealth, and travel expenditures. The
Millennial’s are especially interested in experiences over material items and
they tend to travel more, eat at better restaurants and spend more on vacations
and less on houses, furniture and other household items. It is our job in
tourism to change how we market our area to fit the generation that is willing
to come spend time with us. This is why at all of our annual tourism training
seminars and symposiums there is always a guest speaker that is an expert on
generational marketing. It is critical to our long term growth to offer a
tourism portfolio that fits the visitor demographic that is interested in
coming to our area.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thus far we are having a very successful summer tourism
season. Our lodging numbers are up and so are the headcounts at our major local
events and at our area parks. We feel we have a great future for tourism in our
area. It will be important that we along with our community leaders and
business entrepreneurs adjust their offerings to visitors to meet the changing
demographics of the ever changing generations.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Helpful Suggestions Along the Way</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Be ready to bring home your treasures. Drive a large car,
so you won’t have to pass on oversized items that catch your eye. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Be prepared for the sun and the heat. Bring items such as
sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and mosquito repellant to protect yourself from
the elements. Remember, the sun can roast you <i>even</i> on a cloudy day. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Be prepared to walk. Wear comfortable shoes and drink
plenty of fluids. It is usually very warm (ok, technically, hot) and all the
walking and activities can drain you if you aren’t diligent about hydration!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Be prepared to pay cash. Many vendors don’t accept credit
cards or checks. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Be on time… or better yet, <u>be early</u>! Though there
are hundreds of vendors who sell sun-up to after sundown, you’ll be competing
with thousands of other shoppers. And as with any yard sale, the good stuff

The new Applebee's restaurant is located at 111 Airport Road W in the Dunham's parking lot and is set to open on Monday, July 17th. The new Chick-fil-a restaurant is located at 1824 Glenn Blvd SW (in the old Ryan's location) and will open their doors tomorrow, July 13th. Part of their tradition, that dates back to 2003, is to host a First 100 Camp Out Giveaway the day before where customers can stand in line for the 24 hours prior to opening and the the First 100
participants at the Camp Out on July 12th that meet requirements will
receive a grand prize of one Chick-fil-A sandwich meal per week for a
year (equating to 52 meals). So get your cot, sleeping bag and plenty of water to beat this heat and head on over to hold your place in line and hopefully a FREE Chick-fil-A meal for the next 52 weeks!<br />
<br />
Each
First 100 event is a chance for the local franchise owners and
restaurant team members to get to know their new customers.
Participation is open to local residents. See link for rules about the giveaway: <a data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" href="https://thechickenwire.chick-fil-a.com/News/Future-Openings" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://thechickenwire.chick-fil-a.com/News/Future-Openings</a><br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">The restaurant hours are 6:00
a.m.–9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 6:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m. Friday
and Saturday. Closed Sundays.</span> <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Festivities began with a launch party at Three's Brewing in Brooklyn. Guests were able to sample Alabama craft beers and food and view a 360-photo booth with locations from around the state. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The following day, those in the middle of Times Square witnessed a Mardi Gras </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">pop-up </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">parade with </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">an actual Mardi Gras parade float followed by </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">costumed revelers </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">throwing beads and MoonPies </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">and a Jambalaya Brass Band playing music.</span></div>

Those who climbed the mountain experienced the canyon in a unique way. It was as if they were floating above the canyon and were able to see in all directions. They could see the lush green forests below, the river running beneath it and the magnificent views from above. They were </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">also </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">able to have a </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">digital </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">souvenir photo of their experience to take and share. <br /></span></div>

The wallscape was up for 30 days for all to enjoy and hopefully begin preparations for a vacation "somewhere else".</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">"Locals and tourist were charmed by what we showed them and eager to learn more about the state," said Lee Sentell, director of the Alabama Tourism Department. "The week brought a new travel destination to many who may not have thought about traveling to Alabama before." </span></div>
<br /><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Last
year, the Alabama Tourism Department set up a beach display of
Alabama's Gulf Coast and visitors were able to take a rest and dig their
toes into the authentic snow-white beach sand with a coastline
backdrop. Many didn't even know that Alabama had a beach, just as they were surprised to find that we also had a mountains and a canyon.</span><br />

Rainsville that this year the Extension Service of Alabama selected the
Northeast Agribusiness Center to host its annual statewide horse show which in
the past has always been held in Montgomery. The event is this weekend July
6-9. This is a big event and very good news for our area. The people who will
be competing and attending are visitors to our area and since it is a four day
event it will serve as very large tourism event for our area. This means a lot
of new visitor’s spending money for lodging, food, gas, shopping and area
attractions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year’s Alabama 4-H State Horse Show will
be hosted at the Northeast Agribusiness Center, Rainsville Alabama. All events
are open to the public. On average, 160 4-Hers participate at the show and with
this year’s show being at a new venue, we expect the amount of 4-H Horse Clubs
and their members to increase in 2017. </span></div>
<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
great thing about this event is the participants <b>DO NOT NEED TO OWN A HORSE
TO BE APART OF THE 4-H HORSE SHOW</b>! There are multiple educational classes
in which the kids may participate in without having to own a horse. There are
100 classes total being offered at this year’s show, which include several
educational contests (hippology, horse judging, public speaking, individual
presentation, team presentation, photography contests, art, creative writing,
model horse, and posters) in addition to the performance horse divisions
(western, ranch/roping, hunt seat/dressage, gaited/saddle horse, speed, and
drill team competition). Youth 14 & up may qualify to compete at the 4-H
Southern Regional Horse Show in educational contests or performance horse
classes. From there, they have a chance to be invited to compete at the 4-H
Eastern Nationals Horse Round-Up. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The goal of the 4-H Horse Program committee is to
keep this event affordable in an effort to give our youth a chance to
participate while still offering awards and scholarships for their efforts. The
registration fee is free for educational contests in order to give all 4-Hers
an opportunity to participate. If a participant wants to show a horse, but does
not own one, there are many lease options available at various training stables
all throughout our state. There is a registration fee of $20 per performance
horse class, which is inexpensive compared to large association horse show
fees. Since all of our entry fees go to facility rental and hiring judges,
sponsorships and fundraisers are needed to support scholarships, awards, and
educational contest materials.</span></div>

day. You may attend at anytime from 8 a.m. through the day and evening.</span></div>

Once a year, for the last 26 years, tourism professionals,
young and old, new to the business or seasoned veterans, meet at North Georgia
University in Dahlonega to spend one week a year for three years to become
certified with a recognized higher education diploma in the travel and tourism
industry. The certification makes them a “Travel Marketing Professional”.
Southeast Tourism Society (STS) is the largest regional tourism organization in
the United States. They cover the 12 southeastern states that include Virginia
and West Virginia, Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana. They, along with a host of
tourism career professionals and college professors, volunteer a week of their
time each year to teach at Tourism Marketing College. This year more than 300
people attended this intensive program for six days of nonstop classroom
education and some industry sponsored events each night. Over the 26 years,
thousands have attended the program. In addition, those who have already
graduated from the program, like me (class of 2011), can attend an alumni
school that is held in conjunction with marketing college, but in a different
building. The industry is changing very rapidly and the annual education is necessary
in order to stay current. In 2009 when I began the three year program, social
media was just beginning and only played a small role in promoting tourism.
Now, social media is a must; Face Book, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and
others play a critical role in the daily marketing of our destination. In
addition, the generations are changing and travel interests are changing as the
WWII and Baby Boomers generation begin to travel less and they have less
expendable income for travel. Now Generation X and the Millennials’ have the
jobs, the money and they do the travelling, oh but they do not travel the same
way nor do they do the same things that the Boomers’ did. Marketing College
teaches us the differences. If we don’t know how to market each age group, it
will hurt our business potential.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are very fortunate in the tourism industry to have an
education program of this caliber. Many of the professors at Marketing College
teach travel and tourism (hospitality) at universities around the southeast. Two
weeks ago I attended alumni school at Marketing College. Every May, after
regular classes at the University of North Georgia end, we come to town with
300 plus people to fill the dorms and the lodging facilities, restaurants and
stores in Dahlonega.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Southeast Tourism Society is a member based educator and
marketer for tourism throughout the southeast region. In addition to marketing
college, STS hosts the annual Legislative Summit in Washington D.C. where
tourism professionals can come to call on their federally elected official to
discuss with and seek support for national and state tourism projects and
business opportunities important to the success of tourism nationally and at
local levels.</div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Drive-Ins have been described as “the essence of American Culture”,
“part of an American tradition”, “a great way to spend time with family”, and
“a real piece of history”. There is nothing quite like the experience of a
drive-in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />Drive-ins date back to New Mexico in 1913, where a partial drive-in theatre was opened on April 23rd in Las Cruces called Theatre de Guadalupe. In 1921, a drive-in was opened in Comanche, Texas where cars parked bumper-to-bumper and patrons witnessed silent films from their cars. Outdoor movies became very popular in the 1920's and the drive-in theatre was patented in Camden, New Jersey by Richard M. Hollingshead, Jr. on May 16, 1933. </span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">During </span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">their peak in the late 50's and early 60's, there were more than
4,000 Drive-In Theaters in the United States, but in the 1970's those
numbers began to decline rapidly and now over 90% of them have gone dark for good.<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> At the end of 2013,
35mm movie reels were no longer available to theaters and now only digital files are being distributed. That caused even more closures due to the fact that some drive-ins could afford the required change in equipment. C</span></span>urrently,
there are somewhere around 340 drive-ins left in the United States.
Nine of those are located in the State of Alabama, but there is only one located here in DeKalb County; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HenagarDriveInTheatre/" target="_blank">Henagar Drive-In Theatre.</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Drive-ins provide a romantic and nostalgic alternative to a traditional theater and also offer an experience and an opportunity that is more than seeing a motion picture in the outdoors. It is about seeing the bigger picture - choosing the drive-in as an opportunity to celebrate and help preserve the "essence of American Culture". Drive-ins allow families a more interactive and easy going experience that is not possible at indoor theaters. </span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">In celebration of National Drive-In Movie Day, June 6, 2017, get out and experience the drive-in movie theatre!</span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Gate usually open at 6:30pm CST and movie starts at dusk. Cash only accepted at the gate, but cash, debit, and credit are all accepted in the concession stand. Pricing is as follows: 1 person per vehicle $5; 2 persons per vehicle $10; 3 persons or more per vehicle $15; Children under 3 are free.</span><br />

For more than a century, DeKalb County has celebrated the sounds of the fiddle with many different artists, all adding their own sounds and giving us a bluegrass meets ol' time music feel today. Contestants will no only "Celebrate the Heritage" of DeKalb County and the fiddle, but will compete in a number of categories for over $4800 in cash prizes, all while supporting the Big Wills Arts Council & Fort Payne City Schools Arts in Education Program. Registration begins at 11am. Admission is $10 for ages 10 and over; under 10 is free. For more information, you can visit the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/DeKalbCountyFiddlersConvention/" target="_blank">DeKalb County Fiddlers' Convention </a>Facebook page.<br />

<br />
The Town of Valley Head, Alabama is hosting the first Memories of Mayberry Festival this Saturday, June 3, 2017. It is presented by the Valley Head Volunteer Fire Department and all proceeds will go directly to this volunteer department. Barney Fife will be protecting and serving, Floyd the Barber will be at the "best clip joint in town", Ernest T Bass will be wandering around and you may see others also. You can gawk at over 50 antique cars at the cruise in. There will be live music from Mayberry days. You can visit Aunt Bee's Kitchen for some delicious food. Be sure to practice your hula hoop and
watermelon seed spitting skills; they may come in handy! It's gonna be a fun day! Meet you on the square from 9am to 5pm. Be sure to pick up a t-shirt to commemorate your day. 256-899-3776 or 256-635-6814<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">May is National Tourism Month and
National Travel and Tourism Week was celebrated from May 7-13. National Travel
and Tourism Week is an annual tradition for the U.S. travel community,
established by a congressional resolution in 1983 and first observed the
following year. It is a time when travel and tourism professionals across the
country unite to celebrate the unique value travel holds for our economy,
businesses and personal well-being.<br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">“This year’s theme for National
Travel and Tourism Week, Faces of Travel, placed the spotlight on the people
that go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to taking care of
visitors and Cathy Marko, Cynthia Stinson and Avice Pearson all meet the criteria
to be named a North Alabama Elite Tourism Professional,” said AMLA President
and CEO Tami Reist. “The North Alabama Elite Tourism Professional recognition
honors those individuals in the 16-county region of North Alabama who offer top
notch service to visitors and is committed to the success of the tourism and
travel industry.”</span> <br /></span></span></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These three individuals were recognized for demonstrating outstanding customer service and hospitality in celebration of National Travel and Tourism Week in Alabama and were presented with a balloon bouquet and a gift card from Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association for their contributions to the tourism industry. <br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Avice has been with DeKalb Tourism since February 2003 and has played a vital role in the success of tourism in DeKalb County. Congratulations Avice and also Cathy and Cynthia.</span></span>Lookout Mountain Alabamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16036840957725457873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404134333675738967.post-66972517136552749762016-12-29T08:26:00.000-08:002016-12-29T08:26:10.547-08:00Happy New Year from DeKalb Tourism by John Dersham<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We at DeKalb
Tourism wish each of you a happy and blessed New Year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Last year
was a banner year for tourism in DeKalb County. We enjoyed double digit growth
in the number of visitors and the amount of dollars they spent on lodging.
Tourism provides valuable tax revenue to our county and all of our cities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In 2017 we
are very hopeful to have an equally good year. Long term forecast from the U.S.
Travel Association is calling for a good year, but forecasts show less growth
than 2016. There are a lot of variables that can change that run parallel to
the overall economy and the cost of petroleum. Worldwide and U.S. politics also
play a role. People travel more if they feel secure in their jobs and if the
overall economy is doing well. Visitors love our area and many of our guests
are return visitors. We have established a large following of return visitors
from nearby metro areas who love to come for a get-a-way weekend to relax,
enjoy our parks and our scenic drives, hikes and our causal friendly
environment. We are a low cost place to visit so many people will come for
multiple weekends during the year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As the new
year progresses, I will use this column as a place to update you on all the
things going on in our area and some new
ways we are trying to attract visitors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Whenever you
need information about things to see and do in DeKalb we maintain the official
calendar of events on our website. Please have a look at </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our fall tourism was normal in
numbers of visitors and the number of events held. Visitors came and they
filled our hotels, campgrounds, B&B's and rental cabins. They will keep
coming at least through Thanksgiving, but that is where the similarities end.
When it comes to the environmental conditions things are very different than
any year since I have been in tourism and for everyone I talk to, we have
witnessed the hottest driest summer and fall on record. The southeast,
including our area has been blanketed in smoke from thousands of wildfires
throughout the region and a number of them in our area. The heat and the
drought have devastated ponds, rivers, creeks and our waterfalls are 100% dry
for the first time anyone seems to remember. Trees are dying and some will not
come back out. The heat and the drought were too much and when spring comes
some trees will not bud again. When I moved here I planted Hemlock and Spruce
trees that are known to grow here in tree hardiness Zone 7 according the Arbor
Day Foundation. In fact, there are a number of native stands of Hemlocks in
North Alabama, but this year seems to have crossed the line. These trees are
more typical in points a little further north and I fear trees like the
Hemlocks, Blue Spruce and Norway Spruce along with woody plants like
Rhododendron and Mountain Laurel will have a high death rate due to the excess
heat and drought. I hope I am wrong. Overall, I feel climate change might move
Zone 7 further north when climate calculations are revised.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Overall, we did not get many
complaints from tourists disappointed that our fall color was not quite up to
normal, but it was still good. Some were disappointed we had no waterfalls, but
those came from people who lived outside the drought area that did not know how
dry it was here. Those that live in our region kind of expected there would be
very little water or none.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

rains will come soon to restore our rivers and creeks and bring water to our
ponds, trees and wildlife.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We have had a good fall season with
a lot of visitors filling our parks, filling our lodging facilities, attending
festivals and events and many fall foliage seekers. I typically, from the
tourism point of view, consider our fall tourist season to start with Fort
Payne Boom Days Heritage Celebration the third week of September and ending
after Thanksgiving. These dates represent the span when we get the largest
amount of visitors coming to our county to enjoy fall. Within that time frame
are the primary things that attract our out of town visitors; Boom Days, DeKalb
VFW Agricultural Fair, Mentone Colorfest and the primary one is not an event
but the landscape and the weather. Our visitors come to enjoy our beautiful
scenery during fall and our beautiful fall foliage. Visitors come because the
weather is cooler and clearer and we usually have less rain in September and
October but this year everything is different. The good news is the visitors
are still coming for the same reason; the bad news is they are not getting our
typical fall environment. Our record drought and record heat has left our
rivers and waterfalls 100% dry for the first time anyone can remember. Fall
foliage has gotten pretty nice now but overall is not up to normal. Trees near
lakes or rivers that have water look good but when you look at the
mountainside the colors are mostly shades of brown with a hint of red and
yellow but not quite as vibrant as usual. The drought has caused many trees to
shed their leaves early or they have just turned brown. Most of our visitors
don't seem too surprised that they are not getting to see water in our
waterfalls. Most live within the drought area and knew it would be dry here.
Some people however from outside the drought area like from Louisiana, parts of
Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky that did not have the severe drought are
disappointed when they get to our major waterfall attractions and they are not
flowing at all. We had a tour bus of 53 retirees from Birmingham a couple weeks
ago. I served as the step on guide. They had a great time and loved our scenic
beauty but when we visited DeSoto Falls and Little River Canyon they were more
amazed by the dry riverbed and no water coming of the falls then they were by its
inherent beauty. It became a topic of conversation and agreement about climate
change and what is going on that in October it has been in the high 80’s and
low 90’s all month. I had personal plans to take an updated picture of Little
River Canyon this fall for advertising. The lack of water made me cancel that
picture for this year. Can you imagine an advertising shot of Little River
Canyon with a dried up river bed and no waterfalls?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now that we are into the first week
of November we are nearing the peak of fall foliage color and soon the leaves
will fall and as we move toward Thanksgiving, by then most all signs of fall
will be gone and our landscape will turn to winter. We have many visitors that
come for Thanksgiving. They rent cabins or camp and have Thanksgiving with
family that meets them here. It has become good tourism business for us. It
also marks the end of our fall tourism season. After Thanksgiving everyone
turns their focus to Christmas and winter weather sets in and people cozy up at
home and our area gets quiet in the places that were full of tourists just a
few weeks prior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">During the winter season we get
visitors when Cloudmont Ski Resort is open and we get some winter visitors who
like to hike and ride bikes or camp in the winter landscape and they like the
cooler temperatures. For the most part our tourism season slowly begins again
in middle and late March as school spring breaks come about and the first hints
of spring dot the landscape with yellow Daffodils and grass that is beginning
to turn green.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
