Mark your calendar for Friday, September 28 & Saturday, September 29 for the Fall Hammer-In at Trackrock.  Activities include bladesmithing, hawk forging, leather crafting and forge building.  Watch, meet and talk with several talented bladesmiths.  See what it takes to transform old discarded steel scrap metal into functional works of art. Fine craftsmen from several states attend, some collectors bring their collections to display, knifemaking supply vendors participate and others come just like to look and talk knives.  This is a family oriented event open to all with no admission fees, so come join in the fun!  More info at www.georgiaknifemakersguild.com 

"Two dollars, now 3, now 3 will you give me 3?  Three dollars, now 5, now 5, will you give me 5?"

This was the chant heard at Trackrock Pavilion Wednesday night as our own Sammy Haupt, professional auctioneer, pointed to item after item up for bid.

After a delicious Pot Luck Dinner, everyone gathered around for an auction to benefit The Humane Society Mountain Shelter.  Everything from Christmas items, to jewelry, to homemade brownies went on the auction block.  To say it was a success is an understatement.  A lot of puppy and kitty kibbles will be purchased with the several hundred dollars collected for the donated items, which came from campers and staff at Trackrock.  http://humanesocietymountainshelter.org/

It was fun for all and a great cause.  We plan more auctions in the future.  Watch Trackrock Happenings for dates and times!

On Saturday at 2pm, send the kids down to the pavilion to make their special Trackrock souvenir!  A medallion of a wolf, bear or horse design.  A great crafts project!  Cost is $3 to cover supplies.  Please sign up at office.

There will be hayrides!  We will have hayrides both Saturday and Sunday evenings.  Watch the sign outside the office for times.   Remember, you must buy a ticket for $4 for each person 6 and older for the hayrides.  The tickets are available in the office.

The Tommie Alexander Memorial Chapel will offer services Sunday morning at 9a.m.

Now is the time to consider a trip with your neighbors, church group, scouts or any other group of folks you can think of and make plans for your September or November group outings.  We are happy to assist you with making arrangements for your group - such as private hayrides, catering and activities.  Remember - we cannot take groups during the month of October, but if you would like to plan a later date, the weather is great through November.  The bathhouse is heated and the showers hot!  http://www.trackrock.com/campinfo.html
