12th Annual Trailfest in Hot Springs

The Asheville (NC) Citizen-Times has an article titled "Celebrate the Appalachian Trail" by Lindsay Nash in its 26 April 2007 edition. The celebration under discussion is the 12th annual Trailfest in Hot Springs, scheduled for 27-29 April and "featuring live music, hiker activities, a river cleanup and more."

Nash points out that
"Hot Springs is the first town that hikers come to after three to four weeks of hiking and is known as a place to stop, rest and resupply.

"As the Appalachian Trail Conservancy works to designate the town an official gateway community, the hikers and townspeople are doing more to work together to promote the trail."
