The Saluda Oral History Project has begun. The first interviews were with Martha Anderson, Charlene Pace, and John Rhodes.

Asheville-based Eljapa Media Group will be doing the taping and producing a DVD which will be available for sale when the project is finished.

During Hometown Christmas Stroll on Friday, Dec. 10, the committee will have a display set up at Macon Bank describing the timeline for the project.&bsp; Contributions and donations will be accepted at that time to help with the funding of the project. &bsp;

Businesses will also be given an opportunity to sponsor the production of the DVD.

This project is one of the priorities of the Historic Saluda Committee. Seed money of $2,500 was funded by the City of Saluda to start the project.
