It's time for the 2012 Bear on the Square Festival! This April 21st and 22nd, welcome to the Dahlonega, Georgia town square bushels of bluegrass musicians and hand-crafted vendors. Why Bear on the Square? True story - when they cleared the land for our local Wal-Mart, a bear family was displaced. one of the bears made it all the way to the town square and CLIMBED A TREE! The forest service had to be called in to tranquilize the bear (don't worry, it was released unharmed back into the wild!). Sensing an excuse to throw a party, the locals started our annual festival to commemorate the little bear's journey to literally - the top of the square!
Cranberry Corners will be open all weekend, so stop by and pick up a Mother's Day Gift and maybe a little gossip, too!
