Ketner's Mill fair supports historic preservation

• What: Several thousand visitors drove to Powell's Crossroads on Oct. 18-19 to visit the 38th annual Ketner's Mill Country Arts Fair. The fair offered old-fashioned fun such as wagon rides, skipping rocks across the millstream, tours of the mill while millers made corn meal, cloggers and musicians as well as more than 100 crafts vendors.

• Benefits: Proceeds from the festival help preserve the 146-year-old, historic mill that is on the National Register of Historic Places.


National Treasures marks 125th anniversary of Blue and Gray Barbecue

• What: Point Park's panoramic view of downtown Chattanooga was the backdrop for the sixth annual National Treasures party hosted by Friends of Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park.

This year's event celebrated the 125th anniversary of the Blue and Gray Barbecue, the 1889 picnic that brought Union and Confederate veterans back to Chickamauga, Ga., where they formed plans for the establishment of the country's first federally protected Civil War battlefield.

Guests were entertained by the Dismembered Tennesseans, served a barbecue dinner and participated in a "trip around Point Park" to learn facts about the original picnic at trivia stations.

• Benefits: Friends of Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park.
