CESSCGA History and Objectives

History:

The Chattahoochee River is not as wild as the Colorado, nor as famous as the Mississippi, but for Atlanta residents, it is the source of water, recreation, and traffic jams. The river literally runs through the heart of the city. A favorite summer pastime is to float down the Chattahoochee on a raft or innertube. This activity is known locally as "shooting the Hooch".

We believe that breed clubs should be fun! Therefore, to have a logo that depicts a springer having fun by "shooting the Hooch" is as natural to us as grits and redeye gravy. Our club logo was designed by the very talented Elaine Dillard.
