We're serving up a big slice of summer nostalgia, chatting about all those awesome summer memories that make our West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio so special.

Remember Cannon Park? We sure do! We're spilling the beans on our favorite rides and how this amazing park, around since 1903, has evolved from just a parking ride to the beloved amusement park we know today. It's clear this place holds a special spot in our hearts, bringing joy to generations of families.

But that's not all! We're also diving into those legendary community pools like the Olympic Pool and A.D. Lewis Pool, talking about how important these spots are for keeping kids active and happy all summer long. And of course, we're giving a shout-out to our fantastic local festivals, like the regatta and those delicious food festivals that really bring everyone together.

We are super thankful for all the community love and are having a blast sharing these stories.

We want YOU to join in too! So, whether you've lived here forever or you're new to the Tri-State scene, tune in and get ready to relive the magic of summer. It's a journey you won't want to miss!
