"Why Toccoa?" Video Launch Party



Members of the Leadership Toccoa-Stephens County class and others from throughout the community attended the release of the "Why Toccoa?" promotional video. The video is the end result of the class project for this year's Leadership Toccoa-Stephens County class. Thursday's release party took place at the Georgia Baptist Conference Center in Toccoa.
A video produced by this year’s Leadership Toccoa-Stephens County class now helps to answer the question, “Why Toccoa?” The video is the Leadership class project for this year. Citizens were asked to submit 20-second videos explaining why someone should live and work in Toccoa. Clips from those videos were then turned into a 90-second video promoting Toccoa and Stephens County. The clips covered everything from the area’s history and scenery to its sense of community.

This year’s Leadership Toccoa-Stephens County Class President Greg Roach said the video turned out well. “I think the video did a great job of embodying the spirit of our town and community,” said Roach. “It shows the scenic beauty, historic character, and commitment to family and community that is so prevalent. We are excited as a class that entities in the community can use this to promote Toccoa whenever and however they need to.”

The class also handed out awards for the top video submissions. First place went to Jessica Waters, second place to Zach Smith, and third place to Mary Beth Martin.

Ten honorable mention awards were also handed out:
Wade Fields
Cole Heffer
Savana Gerrells, Hannah Hicks
Kylee Denton, Haley Moore
Darcy Van, Derek Katz
Tucker Ruhlen, Alex Fuller, Summer Chamlee
Cory Timberlake, Jonathan Gonzalez
Veronica Valenzuela, Robert Conley, Kylee Denton
Ashlee Crawford, Brea Harrison, Allie Trimier
