Blue Ridge, GA. Arts in the Park
The 31st annual celebration of arts and crafts held in scenic downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia, held by the Blue Ridge Mountains Art Association.
The city park runs throught the center of town along the railroad, home of the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.
Blue Ridge is a small town just south of the Tennessee line, near where I lived from about age 10 to 18. It was fun yesterday walking down nostalgic lane. The place was packed with people, but I didn't recognize anyone from the past.
I did point out the Methodist church where we were married many years ago, and the old Courthouse where my dad had to sign for me to get a marriage license ('cause I was just a few days shy of my 19th birthday).
We enjoyed looking at all the exhibits, but only purchased the obligatory boiled peanuts, fresh-squeezed lemonade, smoothies, and ice cream. A beautiful day to be out playing tourist.
