 The Dixie Fellowship is known around the nation as one of the best conclaves out there. At 1100 participants, this year it has the honor of not only being the best OA event in the year, but also, in all likelihood, the largest. Our brothers in Atta Kulla Kulla Lodge #185 put on a great fellowship for us at Camp Old Indian in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

The weekend started out with a show featuring a skit from the Section Officers, a slide show of Section history, an address from the Region Chief, and the announcement of a lottery for 5 scholarships from the Section for OA high adventure.

Saturday started out with training sessions offered by our Lodges. After training we had our traditional midday spirit gathering, at which Muscogee showed a tremendous amount of spirit and even went on to win the Spirit Award. The quest events later in the day were interrupted by rain, but the participants went enjoying the day and participating in quest events that did not have to be canceled due to the rain. Skyuka went on to win the Quest for the Golden Arrow with Santee coming in second and Tsali and Catawba tied for third. While all of this was going on, the Lodges also participated in American Indian events including dancing and ceremonies.

On Saturday night, the Section enjoyed group dance and team sing from several Lodges. The Section also elected Section officers for the 2010-2011 business year. John Cuenin, the former Section Vice-Chief and Lodge Chief of Muscogee Lodge, was elected to be the new Section Chief. James Hylemon, the Lodge Chief of Tsali Lodge, was elected Section Vice-Chief. Patrick Garcia, the incumbent Section Secretary from the Bob White Lodge, was re-elected.

At the end of a long, fun-filled weekend, Tsali Lodge was named Lodge of the Year and seven Lodges were named Section Honor Lodges as follows:

• Bob White
• Tsali
• Santee
• Skyuka
• Catawba
• Atta Kulla Kulla
• Eswau Huppeday

Every award cannot be covered here, so please see the awards page for a complete list.

The 2010 Dixie Fellowship was a tremendous success and anyone who missed it should try to make it to Dixie next year. The weekend is an amazing way to have first class training and to fellowship with brothers from Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Dixie 2011 will be held April 15-17, 2011 at Camp Daniel Boone with Tsali acting as the service lodge.
