Elena Blevins, executive director of Kentucky Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau joined us recently on WCBL’s Coffee Call program. She says tourism in the lakes area has become almost year-round, with the summer months always being a little busier on the lakes. The number of first time visitors is up and Blevins says the number and quality of fishing tournaments is also on the rise. She says the economic impact numbers will be out in August, but she doesn’t expect the numbers to be quite as good as in 2022. The Craft Beer Bash returns on Saturday, July 29th from 4 to 8 at the old beach at Kentucky Dam. You can get tickets and find out more about what’s going on in the lakes area by going to www.visitkylake.com.
