The Chattooga County Young Farmer Organization coordinates a pig project for students each year. The program begins in the summer and students get pigs to raise, show and auction in the fall. The students received their pigs in June and exhibited them at the Chattooga County Agricultural Fair in a preview show. The show and auction is scheduled for Saturday, October 19th at 3 pm. This year eight students will exhibit 14 pigs at their show. The auction will give community members and opportunity to purchase locally grown pork raised by Chattooga County Youth. Hogs purchased at the auction will be delivered to Skillett Hollow Processing and processing fees will be the responsibility of the buyer.

Chattooga County 4H will present a movie in the park on October 4th at 8:30 pm Eastern Time. The movie will be the new live action Scooby-Doo. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and your family and friends. The park will sell drinks and popcorn.  The event will be held at Cloudland Community Park.

A star party at Cloudland Canyon State Park will be Saturday, Oct. 5, conducted by the Barnard Astronomical Society and sponsored by the Staff and Friends of Cloudland Canyon State Park.
