Outsider Art Trail Tour Is June 5 Wednesday, May 26, 2021
Paradise Garden Foundation presents the fourth Outsider Art Trail Tour on Saturday, June 5, offering a great road-trip option for anyone ready to get out and explore after being cooped up during the pandemic.
Take a drive deep into the heart of southern small-town charm and quirk, wander down some rural byways, and celebrate the beginning of summer amid the leafy beauty of Northwest Georgia. Start your day early at a “picker’s paradise” as you dig for treasures at Trade Day, a giant outdoor flea market just outside downtown Summerville that has been a Chattooga County tradition since 1976.

Lauren McWhorter, an LPN at Oakwood Care Center in Clear Lake, was certified as an infection control specialist in March 2019.
At the time she had no idea just how valuable that training would be.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit a year later, McWhorter became responsible for keeping the virus under control at the nursing home.
She was in charge of COVID testing and reporting for Oakwood. McWhorter also helped implement the strategy on setting up an isolation area at the nursing home for those who were infected to keep them separated from the other residents.
