LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE SHOP PEZROK…read more Stella the dinosaur is a popular statue in the downtown area of Blue Ridge. It's located in front of the store called Pezrok. The dinosaur is a popular spot with tourists for photos and selfies. There is a sign in front of the dinosaur that says: Hello! My name is Stella. I am a baby Stegosaurus. My species names comes from the Greek words stego and sauros meaning "Roofed Lizard." I have 17 plates on my back I use to absorb heat fro the sun during the day to keep me warm at night. I lived during the late Jurassic period (about 150 million years ago) Although when grown I am around 9 meters (30 ft) in length, 4 meters (14ft) in height and up to nearly 5 metric tons in weight, my brain is only the size of a dog's. Think I'm interesting? Come on inside to see what else Pezrok has to offer! (Display only NOT for sale)

We had the opportunity to see the beautiful traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall when it visited Blue…read moreRidge, GA from Oct.3-7-2019. The wall itself is a 3/5 scale of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC, it stands six feet tall at the center and covers almost 300 feet from end to end. The wall like the one in D.C has exactly 58,272 names on it. The Vietnam conflict (it was never declared a war by Congress) lasted from about 1955-1975. As many of us know the conflict divided the country deeply and when the soldiers came back from the war they came back not as honored heros of a grateful nation; Instead their presence was greeted with scorn, anger and some soldiers were reportedly spit on and called baby killers. To add insult to injuries there were no such thing as wounded warrior projects or PTSD or any problems to help them get reacquainted back into society. As a result many committed suicide, turned to alcohol and drug-use. Most that served in the war that are still alive are all in their 70's, 80's and 90's and beyond. Many of them never talk about their time there and this memorial is a loving tribute to their friends, colleagues, and brothers who made the ultimate sacrifice. My friend came looking for his captain and his sergeant. His captain John M. Harrington was on panel 10E and line 118. A West Point graduate he along with SP4 Manzie Glover Jr. were assigned to Headquarters & Headquarters Company (HHC), 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry, 196th Infantry Brigade. On September 19, 1966, they were occupying a night position about 5 1/2 miles from Tay Ninh City when a friendly forces artillery round fell short and landed nearby. Both suffered fatal injuries in the incident. Sixteen other soldiers were injured, three seriously. His Sergeant Joseph R. Martinez was only 23 when he was KIA in Feb. 1967. From what I understand he left behind a wife and two young children. When we were there there were people from all generations there some bringing framed photos and flowers of their loved ones. The wall was made possible by the Fannin County Veterans and the Blue Ridge United Methodist Church who generously donated parts of their land for the display and allowed visitors to park in their church parking lot. You can check their website to see where they are going to be next http://www.travelingwall.us/schedule_of_appearances.htm and if you are looking for information on someone that maybe listed on the wall-you can look here https://www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces/ As someone said they didn't die alone...we remember them!
