Shoe manufacturing and the Rocky Boots brand have been Nelsonville mainstays for nearly 90 years. In 1932, the Brooks Brothers began manufacturing shoes out of the Canal Street building. This building now houses the Rocky Boots store carrying many types of footwear, clothing, housewares and outdoor equipment. As our corporate sponsor for this workshop, Rocky Boots welcomes all attendees with coupons for in-store shopping during your visit to Nelsonville.

Lake Snowden is a 675-acre education and recreation park featuring the largest of four lakes, which form the Margaret Creek Conservancy District. The lake covers approximately 136-acres. The park offers camping, boating, fishing, picnicking and swimming. The serene setting reveals natural beauty while maintaining the convenience of being just 5 miles from Athens, Ohio. The shelter houses, restroom facilities, beach, shoreline fishing holes, and fish hatchery make Lake Snowden a full-featured recreation park. Lake Snowden was built for the Margaret Creek Conservancy District in 1968 with federal funds through the Farmer’s Home Administration and the Soil Conservation Service to control flooding. It opened to the public in 1972. In 1998, Hocking College purchased Lake Snowden from Le-Ax Water District.
