Only three weeks away is the annual Fall Heritage Festival and Old Timer's Day in Townsend, Tennessee.

This years' event, which takes place on Friday, September 23rd, and Saturday, September 24th, will include many old-time Appalachian skills demomstrations, such as; blacksmithing, beekeeping, Cherokee finger weaving, as well as sorghum molasses, apple butter, apple cider, and cornmeal making, among others.

The Cades Cove Preservation Association will have exhibits, and Appalachian Bear Rescue will have a black bear booth.

There will also be bluegrass music and clogging at the stage, and jam sessions on the porch and under the trees, all day long.

For more information, visit Townsend's Smoky Mountain Convention & Visitors Bureau website.

Within the last couple of weeks Appalachian Bear Rescue has launched a new Youtube Channel containing several new bear related videos - as one might expect! Appalachian Bear Rescue, located just outside of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, rehabilitates orphaned and injured bears for release into the wild.

Below is a video of Easter, a malnourished and severely dehydrated cub when found and brought into ABR last month. Easter arrived at ABR weighing just 3 pounds, 8 ounces, instead of a more normal 10 pounds for her age.
