The
Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce, Stephens County Historical Society,
the Toccoa Main Street program, and new this year “Camp Toccoa at Currahee
Project”, want to congratulate everyone on making the 13th Annual Currahee
Military reunion and weekend a huge success!
Together
with your support we "rolled out the red carpet" for the Camp Toccoa
veterans, their families, and the re-enactors. It was a memorable weekend to
honor the men of Camp Toccoa, as well as all veterans, and current active
military.
AM
630 WNEG and The Toccoa Record once again gave this event priority and we are
forever grateful for the support.
We
sold out of chicken at the Chamber BBQ, had record participation in the
Currahee Challenge, our hotels and restaurants were full, an overall positive
report for us all. We welcomed six Camp Toccoa veterans who were delighted to
return to Currahee Mountain and eat their banquet dinner on the old Camp Toccoa
site.
A
special thanks to local artist Carl Fennell who provided the design of “Currahee
Mountain” for the Currahee Challenge t-shirt and to architect Garland Reynolds
for the Reunion t-shirt featuring Phase I of the Camp Toccoa Project.
A
special thanks to the Toccoa-Stephens County Community Theater for performing a
“Musical Tribute to Our Veterans” for guests and the community.
There
are so many who volunteer and sponsor the weekend activities we are at great
risk for not recognizing someone’s act of support. Please accept our sincerest
apologies and know we appreciate you! Our
sponsors are listed on the Chamber’s web site at www.toccoagachamber.com.
Once
again, thank you Toccoa-Stephens County for welcoming back our veterans; for
dressing yourselves in military and 1940’s outfits and for showing our visitors
your southern hospitality and patriotic spirit!
That’s
your weekly update! I’m Wendi Bailey your Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of
Commerce President.
