------------------------------------------------------------------ FORWARDED MESSAGE - Orig: 14-Jan-99 8:22 Subject: Heritage Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Merle Rummel <cliffr@infocom.com> >Merle, Would you please explain a little more about the '99 Heritage >Festival, when and where it will be held? The Southern Ohio Heritage Festival (sponsored by the Southern Ohio District, Church of the Brethren) is held every year (alright -this will be the 4th year) the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, at Woodland Altars Campgrounds. It is an all day festival type event -with exhibits, church (including food and drink) and craft sales, musical and historical presentations. Camp Woodland Altars (Church of the Brethren) is on OH 41 (the old Zane Trace), just at the north edge of Adams Co. It is about 7 miles north of Peebles, or a couple miles farther from OH 31 -some 50 miles from Cincinnati. OH 73 comes past the famous Serpent Mound to Locust Grove, just 2-3 miles south of the Camp. It is a similar distance south of the old Strait Creek Church - and east of the Marble Furnace Church. The campgrounds covers slightly more than one square mile of the appalacia hills of eastern Ohio. Hiking and Camping is very available. There is a swimming pool, horse trails and a small lake. Besides Serpent Mound, there is Fort Hill, another Ancient Culture site -and a little farther is Mound City (Chillicothe OH), and other parks and sites.
