March-what will blow in?
This month there will be 2 conferences held at Boone Tavern. March 6 - 9, the Cormac McCarthy International Conference will attract people from far and near. The Tavern will also host the Democratic Women of Kentucky conference on March 15. We are encouraging these groups to move through our community and are providing information in their packets. As our weather improves we see more visitors to our Welcome Center and we see Spring around the corner.
Sincerely,
Belle Jackson
