The Cherokee One Feather is putting together the 2013 Cherokee Indian Fair program that will be inserted into the Sept. 26 issue as well as handed out at the Fair itself.  The paper is seeking all former Miss Cherokees for a group photo to be displayed prominently in this program.  A photo shoot is planned for Sunday, Sept. 15 at 3:30pm at the Homestead adjacent to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center.  You may wear traditional Cherokee clothes if you wish, but it is not required.  Wearing your sash and crown is encouraged though.  Info: Scott 554-6263 or scotmckie@nc-cherokee.com
