Hemlockfest 2007

Hemlockfest 2007 (November 2-4) is our 3rd annual awareness and benefit fundraiser in Dahlonega, Ga. to help save the Hemlock trees that are facing near total devastation from the invasive woolly adelgid. Hemlockfest will be held at Starbridge (just one hour north of Atlanta near the historic town of Dahlonega) on November 2, 3 & 4. This is a beautiful 40 acre camping venue with small lake for canoeing, fishing, etc. 100% of donations/proceeds from the festival will go toward advancing the hemlocks defense against the woolly adelgid. Fire dance as well as music from such genres as singer songwriter, blue/newgrass, blues, Celtic rock, and jam band will be performed. Family and child activities will take place. Arts and Craft vendors will be present and food, drink, t-shirts and other festival paraphernalia will be available for purchase. Silent auction will take place. For directions or further information (on the hemlock/woolly adelgid issue, the bands, ticketing, where to make donations, how you can help, etc.) please visit our website at www.lumpkincoalition.org or e-mail us at: info@lumpkincoalition.org.
