I know All you guys that live up north are probably scoffing at us feeble southerners, but it is bloody cold today!! I moved to Georgia over 20 years ago and remember swimming in the pool in March. It also seems the winters are getting a bit longer or maybe it's just my age. But optimistically thinking of warmer days here is an annual event that you might consider.

If you are thinking of visiting North Georgia this spring don't forget to visit Dahlonega, there is the wonderful spring festival "Bear on the Square" from April 18-20th. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Jam to the sound of local Blue Grass day and night. This is the 12th annual live country auction of local artists such as Billy Roper. The Bear on the square is a Not-For-Profit cultural arts organization. If you are a guitar enthusiast you may be interested to know that Guitar maker Larrivee Guitars have donated a new guitar which will be available at the Live Country Auction. The Auction will start at 6pm on the opening night, Friday 18th April in the Mainstage Tent in Hancock Park. For more information you can visit www.bearonthesquare.org 

Lets hope by then it would have warmed up a bit and we can enjoy a lovely spring weekend in Dahlonega.
