The Publisher
June is here, that means school is out, gardens are growing, cookouts are being planned and families are enjoying summer. We love getting outside as much as y’all do. It is good for the mind, soul and body. The sunshine, fresh air and dirt between our toes is delightful!
Our event calendar is full of things to keep you busy. From musical performances to art shows, there is much to see and do. So get out and explore these beautiful mountains and support your community by shopping local. There is no better place to find treasures than Northeast Georgia and Western North Carolina.
From Peter’s outstanding adventures to Explore Rabun’s Waterfalling article there are many reasons to take off and hit the trails. The recipes from Lorie Thompson and the history article from Dick Cinquina are not to be missed. So grab a glass of whatever you love and sit on the deck and enjoy your Laurel this month.
We thank you for making us a part of your home, we hope you enjoy this issue and we encourage you to share your Laurel with others.
Thank you so much, Tracy
Laurel of Northeast Georgia
