 On Tuesday, January 24th, Pike County Tourism held an open house event at their new location in the historic Flat Iron Building in Pikeville. Each room on the third floor is dedicated to the rich history and culture of the mountains. The Tourism Committee welcomes any and all visitors who want to learn more about Pike County. We really enjoy the building at this point. It gives us so much more room. Actually, it's a tour in itself if you look at it that way. We've got the Laurel or Lynn room. We've got the Hatfield McCrory room. But most of all, we want people to be proud of what we have done as far as Pike County Tourism and visit this office at some time at their convenience. They're always welcome. And, you know, we're not going to have any feuding and fussing going on here or anything like that. But come in, visit us. And most of all, the thing I would like the people to recognize is realize what's in your backyard as far as tourism. We're sitting on great economic opportunities. And I think that's something that we can help bring to the table. And we look forward to that challenge. Do you worry about having enough money to last throughout retirement? Give Reed Potter at Raymond James a call. Reed has 26 years experience helping folks enjoy their best life in their retirement years. Members of Pike County Tourism are encouraging more area residents to get involved with local history. Their goal is to instill a sense of pride to those who visit. Well, naturally we're going to have tour buses coming that will meet here, go through the tourism office. We have a gift shop here. And we're wanting to get people involved and realizing, you know, Pike County Tourism is something that I'm very proud of. Myself. And that we bring to our area and we hope people in our area respect that and join us in taking pride of where we live. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
