Hi everyone, exciting things will be happening for the 2009 season of Southern Accents. Early next year, we'll be bringing you 13 new weekly episodes, more than twice as many new episodes as last season!

We'll travel to Atlanta, Georgia to tour Stone Mountain Park (see pic above) and we'll take you into the dugout at Turner Field and the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame. Get ready to go catfish grabblin' near Cleveland, Tennessee and see how they make those famous Brown Cows at Mayfield Dairy in Athens, TN. We'll visit historic Hatch Show Prints in Nashville, the Museum of Appalachia in Clinton, TN, and we'll see how legendary Moon Pies are made, right here in Chattanooga.

Of course, this is just a sample of the more than 50 stories we're preparing for next season! If you have an idea for a great story, please let us know. In the meantime, stop and say hello if you see us in your home town.
