We are excited to invite you to a special Tourism Update featuring all three of Pulaski County’s tourism leaders on Tuesday, August 4th at 12:00 (Noon).

We are excited to have all three of our local tourism professionals joining us:

• Michelle Allen, Director of the SPC Convention & Visitors Bureau
• Leslie Ikerd, Director of the Somerset Tourist & Convention Commission
• Aimee Mills, Director of the City of Burnside Tourism Commission

Tourism is one of the driving forces behind our local economy, generating millions of dollars in visitor spending while supporting hundreds of local jobs and businesses throughout Somerset and Pulaski County.

Working together, these three tourism professionals are responsible for promoting our community to visitors from across Kentucky and around the country, helping showcase everything that makes the Lake Cumberland region a premier destination.

Join us for a candid and informative discussion as they share:

• The current state of tourism in 2026
• Major successes and exciting new opportunities
• Challenges facing the industry
• Upcoming events, marketing initiatives, and what’s on the horizon for Somerset, Burnside, and Pulaski County

Whether you’re a business owner, community leader, elected official, or simply someone who wants to see our community continue to grow, you won’t want to miss this engaging conversation.

Lunch will be held at The Center for Rural Development and will begin at 12:00 (Noon).

Come hear directly from the people leading the charge to grow one of our region’s most important economic engines. We look forward to seeing you there!
