Discover Dahlonega: Visit Dahlonega Virtually
Arts & Entertainment, Just For Fun July 26, 2020
(Article by Courtney Randolph in conjunction with the Dahlonega-Lumpkin Chamber and Visitors Bureau and a post from April)
It’s no secret that… We MISS Dahlonega! We miss our friends and family… We miss our study buddies… We miss our coworkers… Our favorite shop keepers… We miss our North Georgia waterfalls, and eating at our favorite restaurants downtown.
But we think we know how to make this easier! Whether you’re meeting with coworkers or having a happy hour with friends, Zoom video conferencing is a way for all of us to stay connected to each other during this time. Instead of having your house as the background of your video, pretend you are at one of these amazing places in Dahlonega with these free virtual Zoom backgrounds.
Keep scrolling to download each background.
Instructions on how to use these backgrounds are at the bottom of this post.
