 While millions of people travel to the path of totality to view today's solar eclipse, many chose to skip the crowds and travel to Eastern Kentucky to view the partial eclipse. Over 230 people from various regions made the trip to Eastern Kentucky, bringing tourism dollars to the area. Prestonsburg Tourism, as well as the other partners around the area, have worked on the eclipse tour for over two years. It's a wonderful opportunity to bring folks in, literally from all across the United States. A local promoter, Diane Spar, who brings in tour buses all the time, she's come in for years and brought groups here. So she came to us with this idea and say, from Prestonsburg Tourism, I had the idea that let's put this together. So they've been here for the entire weekend with us. We've got folks, as you see behind us, they're all around. We've had local entertainers. They've got dinner. They've visited all of our attractions in the area. It's been a fantastic weekend and now we're getting ready to see the solar eclipse. Do you worry about having enough money to last throughout retirement? Give Reid Potter at Raymond James' call. Reid has 26 years experience helping folks enjoy their best life in their retirement years. Many who traveled to view the eclipse resided in Eastern Kentucky over the weekend, bringing thousands of tourism dollars to local businesses, restaurants and shops. So we have six different buses here, around 230 people coming from all types of different states. Most of them, it's their first time here in Eastern Kentucky, specifically Prestonsburg and we're just thrilled to have them here. We've just had amazing community partners to throw this all together, you know, Waterland's home place in Mate 1. We went over there, the Mountain Arts Center. We're going to paint spillow. We're trying to hit all of the areas, not just Prestonsburg because we realize that we are better together than we are apart. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
