Press Release

For Immediate Release

Southern Four Wheel Drive Association is pleased to announce the new location for the 2009 Dixie Run, Golden Mountain Park south of Cookeville, Tennessee. This year’s event, to be held October 2-4, 2009, was relocated due to the recent closure of the Nantahala Forest Tellico OHV area.

Greg Griffith, Dixie Run coordinator, states “We went looking for an area that could host the event and support SFWDA’s “Rescue Tellico” effort. The supporting business members of SFWDA and local clubs looked at several different Off-Road areas in Tennessee and North Carolina seeking something special that would be supported by the local businesses and the land managers. We found that special place at Golden Mountain Park - http://www.goldenmountainpark.com. After meeting with Rocky Jannuzzello, park owner and manager at Golden Mountain, and seeing that he wants to help continue our efforts for “Rescue Tellico” plus the awesome facilities offered we feel Golden Mountain makes the perfect location for the 2009 Dixie Run event (October 2-4, 2009).

Park manager Jannuzzello said;” We look forward to having one of the oldest and longest running Off Road events on the east coast at the Golden Mountain Park. The opportunity to host Southern Four Wheel Drive Association’s “Dixie Run” is an honor and a privilege we gladly accept and look forward too. Golden Mountain Park is a strong supporter of SFWDA’s “Rescue Tellico” effort and is excited about having everyone up to have a great time and see what his park has to offer.”
