When COVID restrictions left people stuck at home, Appalachia Main Street came up with the idea to host cruise nights as a way to get people out of the house. They have carried on the tradition and will host their first cruise night of the year, April 2. We're trying to bring that back to our town. We started in 2020, like I said, and it's been a big hit. We've had the people from all over the area to come, cruise around town. They sprawled a lot of business in their old town. The cruise nights not only provided the community a way to socialize, they also improved economic growth within the small town of Appalachia. They brought people back to Appalachia, or an old town, Appalachia, Virginia, it's named because we're the central, we're in the heart of Appalachia Mountains, almost geographically in the middle. And the four lane past our little town by like a lot of small towns, the USA, the coal mines closed, and really there's not a big reason to come to Appalachia. And this is one thing that we came up with, our business association came up with, it actually brings people into our town that a lot of them haven't been in our town for years. It's really made a direct impact on our town economically. The cruise nights are hosted the first Saturday of every month and begin at 5 p.m. For more information on the cruise nights, go to Appalachia Main Street on Facebook.
