Everyone is involved. Shown here, artist Anita Elder shares some of her artistic secrets with one of the writers. Dahlonega is as rich in the arts as we are in history, and Anita is the perfect example: she has been a working artist in Dahlonega for over 20 years.

All the writers had to do was relax and enjoy the view... and the great conversations!
