There are some who love the fast life of the city, with the ability to wine and dine, enjoy nightlife, and have plenty of access to goods and services.
Then there are those who love the quiet, rural life, with majestic views and nothing but the chirping birds and the ripple of a waterfall to serenade them to sleep.
Habersham County might just be the best mix of those elements known anywhere in America.
We have all the natural beauty one could want, with boundless areas for outdoor recreation and the enjoyment of our bountiful surroundings. And yet, when you need something, you can almost assuredly get it. There are plenty of places to dine and enjoy oneself as well.
Granted, no place is perfect, but Habersham County comes awfully close. We are blessed to live in such a versatile and vibrant community.
The Habersham County Chamber of Commerce is going all in to let the outside world in on our little secret.
The Chamber’s new campaign – My Mountain Moment – is designed to encourage tourism to our county while reminding the folks who are already enjoying our great benefits to share that news with the world via social media.
Unlike the useless bouncing QR code at the Super Bowl, our Chamber gave its gala attendees last week something to click on and sink their teeth into.
The Chamber created a five-minute video that highlights the wonders this county has to offer. It truly sparks the imagination as to what we can be when all the ingredients of our community are mixed together.
See the video for yourself at habershamchamber.com. The Chamber is promoting this new initiative with the hashtag #MyMountainMoment on Instagram @VisitHabersham. The hope is that locals and visitors alike will share their adventures to those platforms and encourage others to join in the fun.
We all run here, run there and work all day, and sometimes we forget to stop and look around. As Ferris Bueller told us, we might miss something.
We deserve the opportunity to enjoy the amazing community we have together, and that is a chance some folks in less-blessed communities wish they had.
We don’t have to wish, though. We are living it.
