May 16 - 18 (Friday - Sunday) Appalachian Trail Days Festival in Damascus, VA
Ken Baker (572-3808 or lightfoot230@juno.com) The annual Trails Days Festival is held in Damascus, VA to honor hikers of the Appalachian Trail. Major events include a high-spirited hiker’s parade, a hiker’s talent show, a variety of live entertainment, presentations on various hiking topics, and displays by gear manufacturers, outfitters and other vendors. I plan to hike part of the "AT" and other trails in the Mount Rogers area before the festival.
