Cotter Trout Festival




Sherman Mtn. Boys: these 16-yr. olds could really pick and sing!

Living in a small community surrounded by other small communities, there is no shortage of activities to entertain, educate, and amuse. Seems like there is always a fish fry, pancake breakfast, music night, festival, or other event to lure you into sampling a taste of the local culture. This week-end we participated in the annual Cotter Trout Festival, a celebration to recognize the importance of trout fishing in this area - including, of course, the tremendous economic impact of tourism and retiree settlements based on this sport :). Arts and crafts, a parade, a flyover, bluegrass music, and the old swimming hole for the kids were all part of the festivities - oh, and Food! Funnel cakes, fried pies, BBQ!
