    Another beautiful little town in our North Georgia Mountains. That's what I love about these places, they are different in many ways but each has it's own charm. Welcome back and hope both of you had a great weekend.

    Love Helen, Ga. Love the Heidelberg Restaurant, love German food. Haven't been there in several years and the German family that ran the restaurant served authentic German food , they had a sampler platter you could order to taste the many dishes of Germany and Bavaria. We have never been there during Christmas Holidays can't wait to see the night video of the lights of Helen.. Thank you both for sharing this with us🙂 you were spot on about the talent that gentlemen has with the clarinet and saxophone , he definitely knew his music .

      Yes, we could have stood there and watched him for much longer.
      Helen has beautiful lights. I'm hoping to have that video up tomorrow, if I don't hit any more snags with the computer program. It's been giving me a little difficulty.

      @NCMemoryMakers  10 місяців тому

      Yes, he was excellent.
      Should have the Christmas lights video up today. I got 2 separate copyright hits, so I'm having to go back and re-upload it.
      One of them, was when the guy in Dahlonega was singing "Christmas In Dixie". It's not even the original artist singing, and he even changed the words a bit. And they still got me.
      And then, there was another copyright hit, for a soundtrack that I added from my video editing program, which I'm SUPPOSED to be able to use.
      I'm having to impose other music over those 2 sections, which makes it sound terrible. But UA-cam isn't giving me any choice.

    Looks like a neat town. I have never been there but my wife was before I met her and we were married. That saxophone player was incredible! I used to play the sax button near that good. It was amazing how long he held out that one note. I don't know how he was able to do that. Thanks for sharing this town with us. I enjoyed the tour. Can't wait to see it with the Christmas lights on.

    • @NCMemoryMakers
      @NCMemoryMakers  10 місяців тому

      Thank you so much for watching. Yes, we did enjoy the saxophone player very much.
      The Christmas lights video will be up sometime this afternoon, hopefully. I had it uploaded this morning, but got 2 separate copyright hits. One, for music that was being sung in the background by a local artist, which is ridiculous to give me a hit for that. It wasn't even the original artist, and he even changed the words of the song.
      And the other, was for music that I imposed over the videos of the Helen, Georgia Christmas lights, and it was music that I took from my editing program, which I'm supposed to be able to use.
      I'm having to re-upload it, and put another music track over those tracks, which makes it sound terrible. But UA-cam isn't giving me a choice.

    You can often find very nice and affordable airbnb near Helen or outside of Helen. I have several that I stay at regularly.
    Dotties Kitchen has a wonderful cafeteria style breakfast. Reasonably priced and good food.
    You also don't want to miss Hofers Bakery when in Helen. Delicious pastries and the breakfast is just wonderful. Bratwurst Biscuits and gravy is delicious. Favorite German Fare is in Bodensee.
    The Festhalle has Bingo every Tuesday and Friday nights which is a lot of fun.
    I've never been to the Crepe House...but have heard good things.
    Mullers Cheese Cafe is EXCELLENT.
    Thanks for the walk through of one of my favorite towns

      And thank you for all of the great information and suggestions. I would be interested in some of the places you have stayed for a reasonable rate there.
      It just seems like on Thanksgiving weekend, things are very expensive. Of course, that's really the only time we've ever gone there.
      But I would definitely like to stay closer to town. And we would love to try all of the places you mentioned.
      There's something about that Mullers, that just sounded like something I would really enjoy. Yes, definitely try the crepe place when you are in town next time. Lots of great options.

      We tried that year before last, and couldn't even get an email or a call back about tickets. I think you pretty much have to do it months in advance, and we're not even thinking that far ahead for Christmas. We'd like to get there one of these years.

    I left a comment, but i not seeing it now. I mostly use my phone, so probably an error on my part. I also recommended a channel of sone folks who live near there, so that’s probably it. Seems UA-cam doesn’t like that. They either think you’re trying to promote or something. Anyway, I enjoyed it. Thst saxophonist is incredible!

    • @NCMemoryMakers
      @NCMemoryMakers  10 місяців тому

      Yes, we could have listened to him for a lot longer. He was very talented. How he was able to hold that note for that long, I'll never know. I would have fallen over long before that.

    If you like Bavarian , Frankenmuth, Michigan is a German Bavarian town with two delicious chicken German restaurants, and the largest Christmas store that I know of thousands of Christmas decorations

      @NCMemoryMakers  10 місяців тому

      I could tell that the building was once a KFC. It had that distinct look. And no, I do not wear Bulldog gear.
      I would love to try some of the various restaurants there. Next time, I'll probably try that Muller's Cheese place. If I were around for a couple of days, I would try Slice Of Helen. We want to come in the Fall sometime.

      @BigEd1971 I'm sure it is. We would like to go to the area for the scenery. I know that during the fall and their Oktoberfest, it's really a lot about beer and drinking. We're not into that. But I'd love to come for the scenery.
