Historic bridge hunter and aficionado Calvin Sneed resent a program about historic bridge preservation 11 a.m., Oct. 28 at the Coffee County Administrative Plaza meeting room.

Sneed will be hosted by the Save Our Old Stone Fort Bridge group, who will also lead a field trip to the historic Old Stone Fort bridge where he will explain some of the special features of the 1906 Pratt truss bridge spanning the Duck River in the park.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a sack lunch to be enjoyed at the picnic area at the park.

Sneed will also have a selection of his books for sale, with proceeds to be donated to the Save Our Bridge group preservation fund.
