Bedford Co. Correspondent
NEW PARIS (Bedford Co.)
Bedford County is very proud of
its 14 covered bridges.
The bridges are so beautiful
and such a part of the colortul his
tory of this rural county that a local
oigamzalion known as “The Cov
ered Bridge Society,” raises funds
to help keep the bridges in good
condition. They are often pho
togiaphcd by visitors to the aiea
Howevci, there arc always a
lew who, not leah/mg how impor
tant the covered bridges arc to the
aiea, destroy their beauty by spray
painting nasty words on them.
Sometimes, they personalize the
bridges by writing their own
names or those of their girl friends
or boy friends.

distance ot two ol the covered
budges Duimg nice weathci, he
bikes to the two bridges where he
climbs on the railing and gazes at
the watei below.
“It’s just something I like to
do,” Jimmy says “I always have.”
So, it was a great dismay to
Jimmy to see graffiti being painted
on one of the recently reconstruct
ed covered bridges known as the
“Snook’s Bridge.”
He asked his father. Herb, what

back to its original beauty.
