There are some who believe that those of us in North Georgia will have a festival for any reason. In fact, I first heard that comment in association with Bear on the Square, a festival that came about after a bear really was spotted on the historic Dahlonega square.
Back in 1996, a bear cub was carefully captured after scaling a tree, but not before it caused quite a stir among the locals. Nick and Glenda Pender, local music icons, joined forces with a group of merchants to honor that disoriented cub and celebrate all things Appalachian!
Now in its twelfth year, Bear on the Square Mountain Festival kicks off another beautiful spring in North Georgia. From April 18th to the 20th, the quaint downtown area will be host to a variety of music, art, food, and lots of fun—exemplified by our cover musicians Joel Cordele and Sonny Houston of Gold Rush. For more information about this event, see page 19 and www.BearOnTheSquare.org.

When I think of wrought iron, my mind conjures up images of Bourbon Street lined in ancient homes with trellises and fretwork of green, black, and white swirls and curls. There is a timelessness to this material—both support and ornament.
Our cover features Iron Accents, home to some fascinating and truly beautiful works of art…many of which are crafted with—you guessed it—wrought iron. Both furniture and accessory pieces don’t have any of the colder attributes of functional metal—they create warm centerpieces for your home. This shop, worth the drive to Clermont, Georgia, is one of those places where nearly every visitor exclaims, “I’d like to have one of everything.”
Part of the charm of Iron Accents is the company you’ll keep while perusing the shop. It’s a family-run business, and warm from the moment you walk though the doors. Iron Accents is a great representation for our feature—Interior Design.
