Market our state parks

The editor:

It seems that one of the greatest revenue builders for the state of Kentucky is to continue to develop, improve and publicize our Kentucky Park System.

No doubt, Kentucky already has one of the best park systems in the nation. They are beautiful, well run and make a good impression on the general public.

With a national publicity program sponsored by the Kentucky Park System, Kentucky Government and all its citizens, we could bring a constant stream of visitors from all the other 49 states and many countries around the world.

This added revenue would benefit all Kentuckians as well as restaurants, motels, filling stations and provide Kentucky Government with more financial aid to operate with. This aid then could be used in education, roads, and many other programs that would benefit all Kentuckians.

  • Thanks for helping after accident

    I was involved in a one-car accident on Cranston Road on June 23. After flipping and rolling my car, my first image and audio was a man asking me if I was OK. I later learned he was “Mr. Stacey,” whose parents ran Stacey Grocery for so many years on Cranston Road.

  • Area has many existing attractions

    Visions of a Rails for Trails through our community, surrounding areas and parts of Appalachia seem as a splendid idea. However, thoughts of the hiccups and obstacles that have submerged for many years exhaust me.

  • Drugs are evidence of underlying problem

    Kentucky has only recently got a taste of the drug problem big cities have. When you’re watching someone you love slowly kill themselves with pills, it’s easy to blame the dealers or “doctors” in Florida doling out the stuff like it’s candy.

  • Many benefits of Rails to Trails

    The Rails to Trails would be the most inclusive family activity that could ever be completed in Rowan County or this region.
