Here is a letter from Bette Lou Higgins which I want to pass along to you:
I am so excited to announce that our film “Trail Magic, the Grandma Gatewood Story” was
named the "Best Local Documentary" on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at the Chagrin Falls Film
Festival. We thank everyone on the Festival Staff and the Awards panel and especially our
sponsors, The Buckeye Trail Association and Watterson and Associates. The screening was
viewed by about 160 people who stayed for a Q & A afterward. The awards ceremony for all of the
festival participants took place that evening.
Be sure to check our calendar regularly to keep up with our program schedule.
To arrange for a program to be presented to your group,

We’d be happy to help you plan your special event.
