Spin Doctors are poppling up all around us.
Rephrasing words to make things appear more favorable than they are. You see it every day.
But let me tell you what doesn’t need spin…….
the success we’re seeing in our community.
It’s happening now all around us.
- A new downtown hotel
- Massive new indoor sports facility set for construction
- New pickleball courts under development
- Green River Distillery – had record breaking attendance up 38%
- ROMP reports its 2nd highest attendance ever, with over 24,000 attendees
- We revitalized and rebranded the Barbecue Festival with over 30,000 attendees.
- The bourbon event has become so popular it attracted 36 of the top bourbon distilleries in the world, we had visitors from over 10 states and a record attendance!
- Burger Week saw over 57,000 burgers sold!
Imagine this…
The 14,000 pounds of meat used is equivalent to the weight of 3 SUVs!
- Just this past April, our hotels set a new all-time occupancy record, smashing all the previous years!
Now you’re probably thinking what does all of this mean and why should I care?
Well, this means a record number of people are now supporting our local businesses, boosting our community’s economy.
When tourism is thriving, everyone wins!
