We’ve already seen a few snowflakes dancing around in the air. Is this a sign we’re going to have a Highland County winter of old? Maybe… But for right now, our mountains are still popping, even on snow-cloud-overcast days! If you haven’t made it to Highland to take in the leaves, do it! This has been a monumental year for fall color!
Dorothy Stephenson grew up on her family's cattle operation in Meadowdale, located in the southwest corner of Highland County. When she wasn't on horseback helping her father gather and work cattle, you'd likely find her (still on horseback) jumping creeks in her family's nearby "Big Pasture." Today, though she doesn't ride horses much anymore, she has her own cattle, land, and expansion plans for a farm. Additionally, (and with the inherited, Stephenson, entrepreneurial spirit) she owns two small businesses in Highland County - Sundance Media & Design and Sundance Studio & Productions, which houses another of Dorothy's long-time loves - Clogging. Dorothy loves exploring new places, skills, and ideas, and she intends to live life to the fullest as long as it will let her. (Oh! And she LOVES Christmas!)
Our Highland County mountains are putting on another show for us this year! Here are a few pictures from local photographers showing our county's current colors! I believe the mountains still have a lot of changing to do throughout the county, so stay tuned for next...
