0621Chattooga2
Preservation of the Chattooga River and its natural beauty is the mission of the inaugural festival set for June 22-24 in Clayton and Long Branch, S.C.
Visitors to this weekend’s Chattooga River Festival may be able to squint downriver and see shadows of Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight paddling the river to the echoes of “Dueling Banjos.” The inaugural festival is set for Friday through Sunday and is organized by a coalition of groups from Georgia and South Carolina. The theme of this year’s festival marks the 40th anniversary of the 1972 movie “Deliverance” filmed on the Chattooga.
