Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. The City of Pikeville's Main Street program is participating in the first statewide peppermint trail. For those that still need to finish up their Christmas shopping, the peppermint trail is encouraging everyone to shop locally. After checking out what Pikeville has to offer, shoppers can then move on to other locations on the trail. We were really excited to have this statewide Main Street promotion. It started last year with our friends in Paducah. It was their local Christmas promotion. So it was a wonderful idea and we thought why not take it throughout the state. So all of our Main Street directors, there's 25 communities, got on board and it's just a way for us to support each other. So hopefully the idea is when you're out doing your holiday shopping this year, you will shop in Pikeville at one of our peppermint trail locations then you'll go to Saliersville there maybe to Badyville. Then you can go to Central and Western Kentucky and hopefully if you have the time visit all of our Main Street communities to see what those particular communities have to offer. Local shops are also giving back to their customers. Businesses participating in the peppermint trail have a QR code for shoppers to scan and enter for a chance to win some prizes. So throughout downtown Pikeville you will see all of our merchants, our spas and salons and our restaurants participating in the peppermint trail. You can go to their businesses and at their point of sale you will see a little stand with a sign on it indicating the peppermint trail. You scan the QR code, open it up, register where you shopped and that gives us the information that we need to send you encouraging events that will go on throughout the rest of the year and also we'll put you into a drawing for Kentucky Main Street gift baskets to be given away in the month of January.
