Practitioners Sought for Rapidly Growing Community By Leslie Johnston
A recent study co-sponsored by the Dawson County Development Authority and Northeast Georgia Health System has verified what many residents have already realized is one of Dawson County’s greatest challenges for the 21st century — the recruitment of healthcare professionals to serve the fast-increasing population.
“Because it is such a high-growth market, the Dawson County Commission and the Dawson County Development Authority want to ensure that residents have local, accessible healthcare resources,” says Northeast Georgia Health System’s Tracey Vardeman. The study indicates, Vardeman says, that there is a continuing need for primary care resources such as family medicine and internal medicine specialists, psychiatrists and pediatricians. The recruitment of physicians is now one of the Development Authority’s major priorities. “With the access that we have to the mountains and the lake [Lanier], and with the golf courses that we have, Dawson County is a natural draw for people who are retired or semi-retired,” reports Steve Holder, planning director for the city of Dawsonville. “As a city, we want to do everything we can to accommodate this demographic.” Holder says two developers are looking for property on which to build a residential community for retirees. “Another developer is interested in creating a tennisfocused community for this type of homeowner,” he adds. While the 55+ age group is being actively courted by the city and county, increasing the number of older residents presents a new challenge. “That population will require that we strengthen our existing healthcare resources,” Holder explains.
4 DAWSON COUNTY
Local Resources Increasing in Number and Quality As in communities around the country, Dawson residents are making less use of inpatient hospital care. The trend is due to biomedical and technological advances, which have resulted in a shift from inpatient to outpatient settings for many healthcare services, including surgery and psychiatry. To meet the need for increased outpatient care, Gainesville-based Northeast Georgia Health System maintains a Neighborhood Healthcare Center in Dawsonville, which houses the practice of Dr. Paul Behrmann. “Dr. Behrmann has seen Dawson County grow, and has grown his own practice as a result,� Vardeman says. Behrmann has cared for Dawson patients since 1978. Coming to the county to establish a National Health Service Corps (public health) practice, he later converted to a private practice, which became part of Northeast Georgia Health System in 1995. He has since been joined by Dr. Ernst Nieuwoudt and Dr. Amy Barfield, and has added a nurse practitioner to the staff. (continued on page 12)

(continued from page 9)
“Things have changed quite a bit [in the county] since 1978,” Behrmann observes. “There is more access to higher quality services. Things are continuing to expand considerably so that we have a wonderful future ahead of us.” Plans are in the discussion phase, Behrmann says, to have Northeast Georgia Health System specialists from Gainesville see patients in Dawsonville one or two days a week. “Physicians from Northeast Georgia Heart Center, P.C., are already seeing patients in Cumming, so they are beginning to spread themselves around,” he explains. Two orthopedic surgeons and one general surgeon from Dahlonega see patients two days a week in Dawsonville. The GA 400 corridor is one of the county’s fastest growing commercial areas, and is an area where new physicians’ offices and clinics will be opening, Holder predicts. For residents’ after-hours emergency needs, construction on an Immediate Care facility is slated to begin in late 2006. “Healthcare professionals and healthcare-oriented businesses will find Dawson County an attractive place in which to locate,” says Dawson County Development Authority executive director, Charlie Auvermann. “The

lifestyle and the activities that we have here, along with the convenience and the easy access to Atlanta, make Dawson a very appealing place to live and work.” With the county’s increasing senior population, Behrmann believes that a nursing home would be a welcome addition to future healthcare offerings, an observation that was confirmed by the Northeast Georgia Health System study. Access to healthcare services for the elderly and for Medicaid patients will continue to be important issues, Vardeman says, just as they are nationally. “To the greatest extent possible, it will be important to ensure that both existing and new physicians continue to provide care to these vulnerable populations,” she explains.
An Innovative Approach to Primary Care The physicians at Dr. Gary Berliner’s Chestatee Emergent Medical Care clinic, which opened in 2002, have taken another approach to the way they provide care for more patients locally. For a $500 annual fee, patients receive unlimited office visits for checkups, X-rays, lab tests and even minor surgical procedures. This concept, often called boutique or concierge medicine, is increasing in popularity around the country.

Gainesville, Cumming and Dahlonega are all within a 20-30 minute drive. “In Gainesville, at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, we have ready access to some excellent cardiologists and to open-heart surgery,” Behrmann notes. “The hospital has just about every service that could be needed, while Northside Hospital Forsyth in Cumming is adding new services as well.” v

Such medical practices, most often found in major cities, have been an option with affluent patients who want the right to choose their doctors and have access to them as often as needed. The concept may represent a solution for counties like Dawson with burgeoning populations and a need for healthcare services in the outpatient setting. Although the idea is new (and for some perhaps even controversial) for area patients, $500 is an affordable annual expense for quality, accessible healthcare. It also can be a solution for people without health insurance. The clinic, which has received statewide and national media attention for its innovative approach to healthcare, is open seven days a week and receives about 1,000 patient visits a month.
Hospital Care Is Only Minutes Away While the Northeast Georgia Health System study concluded that Dawson residents are, on average, as healthy as any Georgia community with no major public health concerns identified, when specialized services or inpatient care are needed, hospitals in

As a benefit to its members, the Chamber offers an affordable health benefits program called MemberCare Alliance of Dawson County, underwritten by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia. Employers with two through fifty full-time employees can select from a wide range of coverage options, including an HMO, a POS or a PPO, to meet the needs of their employees. “Thanks to membership in the Dawson Chamber, our company saved an additional three percent off medical premiums when it switched to the MemberCare Alliance plan, helping us to control our healthcare costs,” says Eric Grabau of Dawsonville’s SleeveCo, Inc., a family-owned manufacturer of shrink and stretch sleeve labels for consumer products. v

Along the GA 400 corridor, a number of stores and restaurants have opened or increased the size of their operations. “Our customer base is changing,” says Jay Walker, manager of the Dawson Village Kroger. “It’s a very different group than it was a few years ago.” To meet customer needs and accommodate the store’s sales volume—sales have tripled since it opened

in 1997—a 19,000-square-foot expansion took place in late 2005/early 2006. A fuel center was added as well. The store celebrated its grand reopening in June. “One of the most important things in our success is the work ethic of people in this area,” Walker adds. “It’s been a win-win situation for all of us, including the customers.” Across GA 400 from the North Georgia Premium Outlets and adjacent to The Home Depot, Super Wal-Mart celebrated its grand opening in July 2006. “Because of the growth in the area, and the fact that the closest stores we had were 15-20 miles away—which have all done very well—we expect this to be a great market for us,” says the store’s general manager, Dennis Dickson. The 204,000-square-foot Supercenter, which employs more than 300 people, contains a full-line grocery store, pharmacy, a tire and lube express, garden center, a vision center, and a hair and nail salon. “This store is a new prototype for Wal-Mart,” explains Dickson, who comes to Dawsonville with experience in launching and managing Wal-Mart Supercenters. “It is a different design and layout—inside and out—than other Wal-Mart stores in the area. The façade is brick, and inside there is a concrete floor with many stainless steel design accents. The store is also laid out differently than the traditional Wal-Mart store, and is much more customer-friendly.” Dahlonega’s John Megel Chevrolet, one of north Georgia’s largest Chevrolet dealerships, also opened a
new Dawsonville location in May 2005, employing 45 people, making it one of the newest retailers to call Dawson County home.

Impulsive Expansion Dawsonville-headquartered Impulse Manufacturing, an industry leader in contract precision sheet metal fabrication, is in the midst of a $7.5 million expansion. This family-owned company began as a manufacturer of children’s rides that are found in shopping malls. Later, manufacturing spare parts for the rides became a part of the business, and eventually the company began manufacturing sheet metal parts for a variety of customers. “Our customers are manufacturers of machinery that buy fabricated components from us,” explains founder and CEO, Ron Baysden. “They provide us with drawings, and we have sophisticated equipment that makes parts to their specifications.”
Dawsonville welcomed the new prototype Wal-Mart Supercenter in July.

Impulse customers include companies such as Kubota, the manufacturer of tractors, utility vehicles and construction equipment; Carrier, which produces air conditioning, heating and refrigeration systems; and Blue Bird, the world’s leading bus manufacturer. “We’re very precision-oriented,” Baysden adds. “We have the very latest electronic and robotic manufacturing technologies and equipment.” Needing room to increase the size of its operations, the company relocated to Dawson County in January 2000 from neighboring Forsyth County. “We bought 18 acres of land and built a facility that was approximately 90,000-square-feet,” Baysden says. The company has already expanded twice, in 2002 and 2004, making the current expansion the third in six years.

BUSINESS PORTFOLIO
Dawson County has long been known as the home of NASCAR champion Bill Elliott and the base of his racing operations. The Elliott family has been in business in Dawson County since 1951. Bill’s brother, Ernie, began his career in racing working as a crew chief and team manager for the NASCAR star. In 1987, Ernie established his own company, Ernie Elliott, Inc. The company, which has become known as one of the industry’s top engine builders, also has a subsidiary in Concord, N.C. Ernie’s engines have been in cars that drivers have used to claim Winston Cup and Nextel Cup championships, as well as Busch Series races, truck series races and Daytona 500 events. “Winning a NASCAR championship and all the races we’ve won is a difficult thing to do,” Ernie says. “For it to happen from [Dawsonville], with the relatively small group of people we have working out of this facility, we’re very proud of it.” While a major part of his work is now for Chip Ganassi Racing, Ernie’s company, with its 55 employees, is even more diversified. It now includes other aspects

of the racing industry. “We also do research and development for Dodge,” Ernie reports. Dawson County maintains its racing roots in other ways. The Georgia Racing Hall of Fame is, not surprisingly, located in Dawsonville. Visitors can walk through the “Alleyway,” which recreates a traditional Dawsonville alley from the 1940s and ’50s. It was in such alleys across Dawson County that stock car racing was born. The Hall of Fame is the center for a number of special events, including the monthly Smokin’ Thunder Car Shows, family-oriented car, truck and motorcycle shows; and Thunder in the Sky, a July fireworks extravaganza. Memorial Day brings a special service for veterans. Event organizer Kim Cornelison states, “It recognizes those who made the ultimate sacrifice [in battle] and does so in a very dignified manner with full community support.” An annual banquet for new inductees into the Hall of Fame is held on the fourth weekend of October. Following the banquet, likenesses of the racing hero or heroes inducted are put on display in the Hall, which also houses racing memorabilia. “We’re extremely busy these days, and we have a

The Thunder Road Museum, which was part of the Hall of Fame and dedicated to the history of racing, closed in late 2004. However, the Georgia state legislature has allocated new funding for the museum, and Samples expects it to be open once again for NASCAR fans in the fall of 2006. “The main purpose of the museum is to preserve the history of racing,” she reports. Dawsonville is home not only to Bill Elliott, but also to early NASCAR legends Lloyd Seay and Gober Sosebee. “Many people today don’t know the story of how racing began,” Samples explains. “That’s what we want to do here — have a place to preserve the legacy.”

Quality Education Keeps Up with Increased Enrollment by Leslie Johnston
In Dawson County, parents will find a school system small enough to nurture each individual student, yet large enough to provide opportunities for academic achievement. “We’re a progressive system,” says superintendent Nicky Gilleland, “that stays on top of advances in technology and curriculum development.” Dawson County High School is a perennial award winner for its educational achievements. In 2005, it received a Platinum Award from the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement for its gain in the percentage of
24 4 DAWSON COUNTY
students meeting and exceeding state standards. In mid-2006, the school received word that it had been nominated as a National Blue Ribbon School. The school system’s progress also includes new physical facilities. Riverview Middle School opened its doors to students in the fall of 2005, and construction began in June 2006 on a replacement facility for Dawson County Middle School. “By 2008, we anticipate having the new middle school open, along with a new elementary school,” Gilleland says. Land has already been purchased for a new high school. Building of that structure is about five years away, the superintendent predicts. v
Education in Dawson County had a banner year in 2005 because not just one, but two colleges opened campuses in Dawsonville. Southern Catholic College, a residential liberal arts college, began operations last fall with 71 freshmen from 15 states. While it is the only Catholic college in Georgia, students of all faiths are welcome. “Our first year was really terrific, and we’re already expanding,� says college president, Dr. Jerry Ashcroft. “We are breaking ground in 2006 for a new residence hall and a student activities center that will include a gymnasium.� Sophomore, junior and senior classes will be added over the next three years until a full baccalaureate program is in place. Lanier Technical College, a two-year college with several campuses across northeast Georgia, opened its Dawsonville location in October 2005. The focus of the campus is on several brand new programs—plumbing, automotive technology and electrical construction—that are unique to the school’s service area. In addition, areas of study that have been popular on Lanier Tech’s other campuses will be also be offered. v

YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN Center Provides Education for Adults by Leslie Johnston
Being a nontraditional student is no barrier to education in Dawson County. The Adult Learning Center offers three programs for those eager to expand knowledge and advance in their jobs. Students can earn a GED or receive instruction for English as a Second Language (ESL). Anyone who is at or below sixth grade learning level can take a basic education sequence as well. The Center currently enrolls more than 400 students in its three divisions. “We’ve had a lot of growth in the GED program,” says David Brown of Lanier Technical College, the Center’s lead instructor.
More than 400 students are enrolled at the center.
By mid-2006, 110 students had received diplomas. “That’s a substantial increase over last year, when 68 students received diplomas for the entire year,” Brown adds. The ESL program functions as partnership between the center and Dawson County businesses and churches. “One of our major partners is Worldwide Manufacturing,” Brown says. “They do a wonderful job of encouraging their employees to attend ESL classes.” Not only do Worldwide’s employees attend classes, the company also extends the benefit to employees’ family members. The Center is part of Lanier Technical College, and is housed in a temporary location on Allen Street in Dawsonville. A permanent home for the Center will be constructed adjoining the new Lanier Tech campus. v

In north Georgia, urban sprawl is a fact of life. However, Dawson County has preserved its unspoiled natural environment. In fact, thousands of acres in 28 4 DAWSON COUNTY
Dawson crafted by Mother Nature remain untouched by Father Time. And this slice of ecological grandeur is ripe with exciting leisure activities.

The county’s crown jewel is Amicalola Falls, located in the 1,500-acre Amicalola Falls State Park. Amicalola, which means “tumbling waters” in Cherokee, is a perfect moniker for the falls, which plunge 729 feet in seven cascades, making it the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River. It is a breathtaking spectacle offset by

Dawson Forest also welcomes ardent water sportsmen to the Amicalola and Etowah rivers, two of north Georgia’s most scenic waterways. The Amicalola is known for its excellent whitewater opportunities. “The section from Ga. Hwy. 53 down to the Etowah River is great for kayaking,” explains Dan Centofanti, a Dawsonville-based geologist and kayaking enthusiast. “If the [water level rises], it’s a like a 5-mile playground.” The section features the renowned Edge of the World Rapids, a class III-IV stretch of whitewater, as well as Devil’s Elbow, a popular swimming hole. The section of the Etowah River that traverses Dawson is mostly calm, providing the perfect venue for tubing, swimming and, most importantly, fishing. Redeyed bass and catfish can be found in the lower reaches of the Etowah. Serious trout fishermen, however, will want to make their way to Amicalola, a delayed harvest stream from County Creek Road downstream to Ga. Hwy. 53.

the surrounding wooded mountains, home to hardwoods, Southern red oaks, sycamores and a host of wildlife. The park sits adjacent to the Chattahoochee National Forest and offers an 8-mile trail to Springer Mountain, the southern starting point of the Appalachian Trail. Not far away is the Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area. Comprised of 23,000 acres, 10,000 of which the city of Atlanta owns, the forest is a protected region. According to Kent Kammermeyer, senior wildlife biologist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resource’s Wildlife Resources Division, the designation prohibits development from encroaching on the area’s habitat. Avid birdwatchers relish the forest, with its numerous species of warblers, vireos and wrens. Additionally, with stringent regulations in place, the area
Anglers can use only artificial lures with single hooks and must immediately release all catches from November through May. Of course, Lake Lanier, the man-made 38,000-acre body of water that features 49 miles of shoreline along Dawson’s southeastern border, also presents fishing, boating and waterskiing opportunities, among other popular pastimes.

Rock Creek Park hosted the first summer “Movies in the Park” series this year. Kids enjoyed the inflatable slide and moonwalk before the show began at sundown.
If you’re in the mood to head to the park, check out Rock Creek Park, where a new recreation center just opened in 2005. Including basketball courts, several rooms for events and outdoor field space, the park hosts local government meetings as well as kids and adult sports leagues year-round. “The county as a whole was in need of a facility such as this,” says Buffie Henson, Programs Coordinator for Dawson Parks and Rec Department, “We’re busy every day.”

Several organizations are dedicated to preserving and showcasing Dawson’s natural resources. The Len Foote Hike Inn at Amicalola Falls State Park is one of only two organizations, along with the Smithsonian, to earn the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design – Existing Buildings designation from the U.S. Green Building Council, a coalition of building industry leaders who promote structures that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. In addition to cozy guest rooms and hot showers for visitors, the facility, which is accessible only by a hiking a 5-mile trail, has a 1.6 kilowatt solar power system and other energy-saving, environmentally-friendly practices in place. In 2003, a group of hikers who frequented the Southern Appalachian Mountain region formed the Mountain Stewards to help preserve old trails and restore lost ones. Says president Don Wells, “Our proudest moments were the official opening in March 2006 of the 4,500-acre Wildcat Tract of Dawson Forest including

11.5 miles of trails and two 60-foot bridges. In our first full year of work, we created and opened more than 14 miles of hiking trails where none had existed before.” Also, The Etowah Scenic River Committee has undertaken an effort to have 6.8 miles of the Etowah River and 14.4 miles of the Amicalola River designated as part of the Georgia Scenic River System. Committee member Centofanti explains that the committee feels the classification is important because “it’s amazing to find such a beautiful and pristine section of river so close to a major metropolis.” Additionally, the Georgia Scenic Byway Project, a privately funded collaboration of the Georgia Department of Transportation, the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation and Scenic America, has begun to lay the groundwork to create the Amicalola Scenic Byway on more than 50 miles of picturesque existing highway between Dawson and Pickens counties. Several unique facilities in Dawson focus on caring for its animal friends. The Kangaroo Conservation Center, established by Roger and Debbie Nelson in 1998, features the largest collection of kangaroos outside of Australia and is listed as one of metro Atlanta’s top seven “don’t miss” attractions by the
32 4 DAWSON COUNTY
Atlanta Journal-Constitution. When the Nelsons wanted to create a place where visitors could get up close with the gentle and curious creatures, they found 87 idyllic acres in Dawson. “There are scenic views, a temperate climate and good terrain,” says Jeremy Maneyapanda, facilities supervisor. “It’s a natural, healthy setting” for the grey and red kangaroos and other unusual types of creatures that call the center home. Swan Center Outreach, a refuge for abused and neglected animals, also is “a healthy and safe place to come” for both the animals who call it home and the guests who pay a visit, says Rose Longhill, who started the organization with her husband, John, based on the Swanete philosophy of loving and serving God’s creatures. With 150 acres of land, a 3-acre lake and an array of animals, from horses and goats to dogs and cats, the Longhills have developed numerous educational and therapeutic programs, as well as a family-friendly setting with horseback riding trails and a petting zoo. From mountains, forests and rivers to animal sanctuaries, Dawson County allows people to connect with nature. Illustrating how great the outdoors can be, the county undoubtedly will remain an organic haven for years to come. v

GOING URBAN The city municipal complex will be the centerpiece of the first phase of a mixed-use project.
Transitioning a Small Town to Modern Living by Samantha Gellar
Dawsonville is about to be transformed into a fantastic urban paradise. The minds behind an urban redevelopment plan see the quiet city converting into a bustling area full of pedestrian traffic, small businesses and restored historic buildings. By combining small-town style with commercial advances, Dawsonville will cement its position as the governmental and cultural center of Dawson County.
The three-phase plan for urbanization will begin with the alteration of the former Thunder Road Racing Hall of Fame (currently the city municipal complex) into a mixed-use center. The 37.7 acres surrounding the complex will be developed into retail, office, residential and institutional structures, all interconnected by parks and trails, which highlight Dawson’s natural beauty. By building on traditional town planning, the project will turn Main Street into an area of commerce and housing. To quote Mayor Joe Lane Cox, “It’s going to be a place where you can live, shop and eat all in the same neighborhood.” Residential townhomes will be constructed within the complex, giving a big-city feel to the area. These
DAWSON COUNTY 3 33
structures aim to draw families to Dawsonville with planning director for the City of Dawsonville. “There are their easy pedestrian access to retail as well as short several potential clients, and we expect something to walks to business and office spaces. Furthermore, with happen by the end of the year.” v lofts being built above commercial space, a great meal might be right below. Some of the oldest buildings in Dawson County are located in downtown Dawsonville. The second phase of redevelopment will kick off with full renovation of the historic district, restoring structures to the great pieces of history they deserve to be. By adding sidewalks, bike lanes and even decorative streetlamps to the downtown area in the final phase, residents will be able to enjoy a pleasurable stroll in the attractive neighborhood. Steve Holder (standing), the city’s planning director, discusses the redevelopment “Dates for the project will be plan with (l to r) Joe Lane Cox, mayor; Gary Barr, water/sewer superintendent; market-based,” says Steve Holder, and Kim Correlison, city clerk.

The multipurpose venue is the place for Dawson events such as the North Georgia College & State University Military Ball, the Chamber of Commerce banquet, business conventions, wedding receptions, dance recitals and more.
The Bowen Center for the Arts works year-round to provide visual art classes and camps for local youth, as well as monthly exhibits for artwork done within the schools. “Bringing the arts to Dawson County is a very important aspect of what we do,” says director Stacey Leonhardt. The Arts Center is the only organization to bring theater to Dawson. Every February, they host the Springer Group, a traveling theater troupe. Next year, the group will feature “Some Enchanted Evening,” a night of Rogers and Hammerstein music.

Restaurants Serve Up Savory Cuisine
For those who find dining out is an event to savor, restaurants are popping up all across Dawsonville to provide an eclectic mix of cuisine for every palate. National chains such as Applebee’s, Longhorn Steakhouse, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s and Ryan’s Fire Mountain are serving their fare adjacent to some Georgia favorites like Moe’s Southwest Grill. The Varsity, another popular local chain, also is considering pursuing expansion into Dawson County in the next year. But local restaurateurs have found a niche in the area as well. Guy and Katie Owen opened The Blue Bicycle Bistro in July 2005. Since then, due largely to word of mouth, their venture has prospered. “Dawson is a great community,” Katie reports. “Local residents have been very receptive and supportive of our small family operation. They are also excited that they no longer have to drive to
Buckhead to get a fine dining experience and a good bottle of wine.” To keep the local connection strong, Katie states that the restaurant features wines from local vineyards and produce from local farms. “What we serve comes from as close as we can get it,” she says. “How can you get any better than serving something that was picked yesterday?” v

Historic Lumpkin
Campground
Reviving Traditions for Contemporary Congregations by Samantha Gellar
40 4 DAWSON COUNTY
H I STO RY
In 1830, 40 men paid a dollar each to buy the property known as the Historic Lumpkin Campground. Since then, the spot has been used as a place for time-honored revivals that draw crowds of faithful Methodists to its serene natural settings. In the 1800s, revivalists arrived in covered wagons with cattle and chickens hitched up for food. They would fry the chickens up for the preachers and fill the campground with song and prayer. In the early 1900s, attendees cooked over wood stoves between prayer meetings and bible study. It wasn’t until recently that electricity was introduced into the campground, but many of the wood stoves still remain Traditions from the past still hold true to this day. Four Methodist churches now encamp on the spot. During the final week in July each year, the members of the churches come together to pray and worship. Primitive wooden benches hold the faithful, while a pianist, organist, vocal soloist and two evangelists create a service to be remembered. At the beginning of the revival, elected members from those staying in each cabin whitewash the bases of the old oak trees that

surround the camp. “Used to be,” says Elizabeth Nix, a longtime attendee of the campground revivals, “the trees were whitewashed so people walking around dark wouldn’t bump into them, but the white also shows how holy the ground is.” Tradition certainly draws a crowd. On the final Sunday service of the revival, more than 500 parishioners flock from surrounding churches of all sects for this one-of-a-kind spectacle. Starting with the trumpeting of a special bone horn, the service

spills out of the arbor seating and into the grounds beyond, where women fan themselves with the traditional hand fans and a choir of hundreds swells in praise. “There’s nothing like it,” Nix says. “You leave with a better spirit than when you came.” Nix oversees the scrapbook kept by the revivalists in its own tent during the revivals. The tome holds pictures of participants all the way back to the 1800s, some of which are the great-grandparents of those who frequent the events today. v

With the recent influx of residents also has come the introduction of diverse denominations, some of which can be found in much larger communities. While Baptist, Catholic and Methodist congregations are predominant, they are neighbors to parishes of non-denominational worshipers, Latter Day Saints, Jehovah’s Witnesses and even those who practice the Bahai Faith. v
