Learn about the fabled bear hunting dog — the Plott Hound — during a talk at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, at Macon County Heritage Day at the old Cowee School.

Renown author and Plott Hound expert Bob Plott will recount the evolution of the special breed of bear hunting dogs unique to WNC, and share some of the lore surrounding the dog. He will bring a Plott hound as a special guest.

The Folk Heritage Association of Macon County is hosting the program and other festivities during the day. www.folkheritageassociation.org  

Plott’s talk is made possible in part by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council.
