Music Concert and Visiting Artist at Unicoi State Park and Lodge

Plan to visit Unicoi State Park and Lodge on Saturday, September 26, to take in a concert at 8:00 p.m. featuring Lisa Baldwin and Dave Haney. The Possum Knockers of Northeast Georgia have five members in their band including guitarist and bass player Ginny Loveland and her husband Keith, an Oklahoma fiddler now living in Nacoochee Valley. Also in the group are Tish and Chip Arnold play the banjo and guitar. This programwill be a “pass-the-hat” donation for the entertainers, as they have volunteered their time to visit Unicoi. Concert will take place in Unicoi Lodge.
Woodworker Robert Hakes will also be in Unicoi Lodge on Saturday, September 26, between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., and from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. Robert is a woodworker making natural wood objects such as vases, urns and platters that are functional and beautiful.
Unicoi State Park & Lodge is located 2 miles north of Helen, GA on Hwy. 356. For any further information about the weekend activities, call Programming Department at (800) 573-9659, ext. 305.
