TROUT FEST '24 PRESENTING PARTNERS

When businesses and organizations participate in the Trout Fest sponsors program, they grow their visibility as a community leader in the thriving, repeating, tourism-driven economy of Blue Ridge and Fannin County because their generosity matters. 

The support of TROUT FEST '25 sponsors ensures visitors to Blue Ridge/Fannin County will discover an amazing community of destinations and services every month of the year that meet all levels of discovery, challenge and achievement in outdoor recreation. 

Teamed with TROUT FEST '25, event sponsors participate in a multi-tiered program that provides  a significant opportunity to reach into the demographics of thousands of visitors who come not only to Trout Fest. Whatever level of sponsorship  you engage, your generosity helps Trout Fest build year-round awareness for your business leadership in the ever-growing North Georgia mountains region.  

STAY TUNED FOR THE TROUT FEST '25 SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

This year, our sponsors donations once again support TROUT FEST '25 -- our 8th annual event -- with the funding necessary to create, advertise, manage and operate the event.  But that's just the beginning of the net effect.

WHERE IT HITS HARDEST 

Those building blocks underpin a substantial return for the festival beneficiary – Blue Ridge Mountain Trout Unlimited #696 (the local, non-profit chapter of Trout Unlimited). Its message and mission centers upon education, conservation, recreation and public outreach programs associated with the cold-water resources in and around Fannin County. Net proceeds benefit:

• Casting for Recovery
• Rivers Alive
• Fannin Family Connection
• Project Healing Waters
• Trout in the Classroom (Fannin County Schools)
• Mercier Orchards’ Family Fishing Day
• Fannin County High School Fishing Club
• Georgia Trout Camp
• Save Georgia’s Hemlocks
  

And our organization participates in conservation and recreation programs with these government agencies:

• USFWS/Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery (at Rock Creek)
• USDA Forest Service/Chattahoohcee National Forest
• Georgia Department of Natural Resources
• Georgia Department of Agriculture
• Georgia Department of Economic Development
• Tennessee Valley Authority 

Thank you so very much to the 2025 Ever-Best Festival Sponsor Team of TROUT FEST '25. We look forward to your future participation, working with you and working for you!
