We are very
blessed to live where we do. We live in an extremely scenic area with a low
cost of living and excellent city and county services. We have the most
genuinely friendly and helpful people all throughout our area. We support our
churches and our civic organizations and in a time of a lot of separation from
the communities we live in our area that remains close knit. People here care
about each other and come to help whenever someone is in trouble. We should all
count our blessings and be thankful each day for the outstanding quality of
life we have here. If you have lived here all of your life you might take for
granted what I am saying, so now, in this special time of year it would be a
good time to remind yourself of what we have. I get to talk to people all the
time that come here as tourists. They love it here and they keep coming back
over and over. They come because while they are here they enjoy our friendly
helpful ways. They enjoy our many scenic venues, our great communities, our
places to eat, shop and stay. They love to come here and they relax in a place
that is easy to get around in without a lot of traffic. They come for our
rental cabins, B&B’s, hotels, state parks, and our national preserve. They
come to drive our scenic parkway on motorcycles, they come to hike and enjoy
nature, they come for the World’s Longest Yard Sale, and they come to mill
around and enjoy music, arts and crafts at our scenic mountain get-a-way of
Mentone. They come for events at the Northeast Agri Center in Rainsville, they
come for the Alabama Museum and Gift shop. They come hoping to see one of the
Alabama boys around town. They come, they stay and they spend their hard earned
income in our towns providing tax revenue for our communities. People visit us
and want to move here. We hear that all the time at our tourist information
center. They come because they love it here… and I do too.
From all of
us at DeKalb Tourism we wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic
New Year. May your blessings be many and your troubles be few.
