ORDER ONLINE NOW A few reasons we think you might enjoy attending our 2013 SOQUE FALL CELEBRATION  Ever since 2009 the SRWA has held a FALL PARTY next to a river or stream in the Soque Watershed. You may recall our 3 ROASTS (featuring special guests Vince Dooley, Gov. Sonny Perdue, and Ted Turner). The last several years we've partied Carribean style at historic Sutton Mill.
This year we're excited to give folks a chance to see Blackhawk Fly Fishing one of the premiere trophy trout outfitters in all of North Georgia. This section of the upper Soque River is highly regarded as one of the prettiest in the County. Here's a quick list of what you'll get to see and experience: - Take a Tour of the RIVER - walk through hemlock groves and experience the Peace and Tranquility of the SOQUE.
- Watch a Fly Fishing Demo by one of Blackhawk's expert guides (never seen a trout? now you can!)
- Enjoy a Local Food Dinner including veggies/herbs grown locally (some right on the farm) and some of Abby J's very hot selling SALSAS!
- Hang out at the Fishing Lodge with porch seating or sofas in front of the fireplace.
- Bid on Auction Items of local art, fishing and other river related goodies from our very supportive business partners
- Eat, drink and be merry - We'll have a bar featuring really good beer and wine.
- PIE POTLUCK contest - Got a cooking bug? Bring a seasonal pie (pecans, apples, pumpkins, butternut squash, etc.) and you could win a SWEET PRIZE!
- Sneak Peak of the SRWAs 2020 Vision - see what we plan to accomplish over the next 6 years, and 3 months....including countywide recreational trails, increased River and Farm tourism events, and more miles of restored streams
- Win the RAFFLE - every ticket purchased is also a raffle ticket
- SUPPORT THE SRWA and the SOQUE!
3 WAYS TO SUPPORT - Buy Tickets / Raffle Tickets for just $15 each (includes dinner) - The great thing about this years event is even if you can't attend, each ticket purchased enters your name for a RIVER RAFFLE PRIZE PACKAGE for TWO. You can purchase tickets at our office in downtown Clarkesville (above Edward Jones), from any board member, or ONLINE.
 - Donate a SILENT AUCTION ITEM - Last year $2,500 of the $6,200 we raised at our Fall Party came from donations to our silent auction. These gifts make a tremendous difference in our capacity towards our mission, and its a great way to promote a business as we can put your business cards next to your item. E-mail soque@windstream.net
- Volunteer at the Event - We need about 10 volunteers for the event to put in two-three hours of time in exchange for a free ticket. We'll have an early shift and a late shift so you can still enjoy being part of the party. E-mail soque@windstream.net
- Can't make the event but still want to SUPPORT - All donations to the SRWA between now and the end of the year will be counted towards our goal to raise $10,000 in order to plant 5,000 trees in 2014. This is part of our new SOQUE 2020 CAMPAIGN that we're rolling out this month. You can Support Online Now
