TRAVEL ITCH RADIO

Ellijay, Georgia is at the southern end of the Appalachian Trail but the northern tip of Georgia. Famous as the home of the Georgia Apple Festival, it is also the Mountain Bike Capital of Georgia and the home of the deepest lake in the state. Its social calendar has events like the Grape Stomp Festival, the CrushFest, and the Blessing of the Vines but it is also a terrific vacation destination. Visitors can float the Cartecay river, rent a boat to explore Carters Lake, find great places to golf, and even find great places to watch the annual pig races. Hear more on Thursday, June 15, when Caitlin Neal, marketing director of the Gilmer Chamber of Commerce, visits TRAVEL ITCH RADIO. Listen live at 8p EDT as Dan Schlossberg and Maryellen Nugent Lee ask her about the area's history, its timber and railroad history, and the best ways for out-of-towners to have fun in the North Georgia sun. This will be episode #508 on TRAVEL ITCH RADIO, now in its 12th season. Check out the show on iTunes, BlogTalkRadio, or the TRAVEL ITCH RADIO Facebook page.
