The Friends of South Cumberland (FSC) is hosting its second annual “Take a Walk on the Wild Side,” Sat., Oct. 20. The event will include a guided hike, music and a visit from Tennessee State Naturalist Emeritus Mack Prichard, as the FSC honors those who join the Mack Prichard Circle.
This “low-key, wear-your-hiking-boots, relax-on-the-bluff” event will be held at the Clifftops home of Charles and Lynn Blankenship.
Members and people interested in learning more about the Friends of South Cumberland are invited. The honorees will be those who “Follow in Mack’s Tracks” by making a donation of $250 or more to the FSC. Guests may join the Friends (annual dues are $25 per person or $35 per couple).
A short hike will begin at 2:30 p.m., and the party is 3–5:30 p.m. Guests will enjoy hors d’ouvres and music by Mary Priestley and Mike Roark.
The mission of the Friends of South Cumberland is to support the Park, preserve and protect it, and to serve as a mechanism to reach out to individuals to become involved. Totaling 21,649 acres, the South Cumberland Park is comprised of ten districts scattered over 100 square miles in Franklin, Marion, Grundy and Sequatchie counties, but is managed as a single park.
