Cliff Williams / The Outlook A few Cahaba lilies were on display for the 200 or so paddlers from across the Southeast taking part in the second annual Tallapoosa River Fest.

For two years the Tallapoosa River Fest attracted hundreds of kayakers to view the Cahaba lilies on the river.

Tallapoosa County Tourism created the event to bring visitors and their tax dollars to the area. The event outgrew its location at Kylee Cooper Farms and logistics saw the event not come together last month. But Tallapoosa County Tourism director Sandra Fuller and New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame are hopeful for the future of the event.
