DID ANYONE SEE "THAR'S GOLD IN DAHLONEGA" ?

Did anyone happen to see the magazine American Profile this past Sunday? There was an article in the Hometown Spotlight section about Dahlonega, Georgia and its Gold Rush Days, which is scheduled for October 18-19. Dahlonega is in Lumpkin County and our Self ancestors once lived there, before coming to Tennessee. Dahlonega is a neat place to visit. I have been there several times. Go to americanprofile.com for a link to Dahlonega's website to check out the details about the Gold Rush Days.
