Walking the Great Divide screens at 2008 Trail Days, Damascus, VA.
Mark Flagler travels across the Atlantic to screen his new documentary, Walking the Great Divide – A Journey Along the Continental Divide Trail, at Trail Days, Damascus, Virginia.
The world famous hiker festival called “Trail Days” is held each year in May in the Appalachian mountain town of Damascus, Virginia.
The festival celebrates the Appalachian Trail and the current, former and aspiring hikers who converge at the festival each year. Trail Days is a riot of color and activity with music, children's games, a whacky hiker parade, a hikers' talent show, people watching, bike rides, hikes, workshops, lots of food, and other family-friendly activities. All this and more makes Trail Days one of the most popular hiking festivals in the world.
Walking the Great Divide – A Journey Along the Continental Divide Trail was screened at Trail Days on Friday May 16th and Saturday 17th 2008, at 7pm at the town Youth Center. Sponsors, Casio Pathfinder, provided snacks and refreshments at both screenings. An excited audience packed the house both nights.
Flagler Films hosted a booth at the festival throughout the weekend selling Appalachian Impressions and Walking the Great Divide DVDs. Mark Flagler had help from friend’s Joe Kelliher and Kevin “Karma” Jones.
