WOR 2020 Cancellation
The CCC membership and the Board had a Zoom meeting May 20 to discuss hosting WOR 2020. Led by President Rick Higgins with input from many board members, staff members, and general members we discussed the feasibility of hosting this event in a safe and prudent manner. Rick Steeves set up a voting "link" and a vote was taken. The vote was 48-2 to not host WOR 2020. I am very proud of the board, staff, and membership for such a strong statement.
We love our WNC community and the other 3 states that WOR typically involves. We value the relationships we have and are continuing to build with the communities.
We value Smoky Mountain Meadows Campground and all they have done for us. If you decide to visit we hope you have a safe trip and that you continue our tradition of being good stewards of any community visited. We have included the ACA and AW links for paddling during COVID 19. We recommend you follow these guidelines and if you have any questions to refer to these guidelines along with any local, state, and campground rules and regulations. You should also remember the local services like grocery stores, restaurants, bars and such will be operating differently than last year. Patience, kindness, consideration, and respect will go a long way especially now.
