Panthertown party thanks volunteers

out lakepicFriends of Panthertown is hosting their annual picnic and concert this year Tuesday, Aug. 20, on Lake Fairfield at Camp Merrie-Woode in Sapphire Valley.

 

The public is invited to the free event, which will be held rain or shine under a covered picnic pavilion along the lake. Food, beverages, and music are scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m., while hiking, a trail building demonstration and other daytime activities are planned from 3 to 5 p.m.

Friends of Panthertown volunteers are responsible for maintaining 30 miles of public trails in adjacent Panthertown Valley, the popular backcountry recreation area in Nantahala National Forest. The event is held each year to show appreciation for the volunteers, members and community who support the conservation of Panthertown Valley and for the work volunteers undertake each year.
