Corbin Events

The Advocate · The Advocate

The upcoming POW WOW event is being much anticipated by all of corbin. Not only to see what it actually is, but, as to the financial success to the group hosting it and the city tourism commission. This could rank right up there with NIBROC, the High School Rodeo, the car shows, and the Downtowm movie n...

London does this, and it's a big, big event. Bike riders are totally non-partisan, and they don't care where or who, they just like to ride. These rides draw many out of town riders, and they probably stay one or two nights if they come from far away. It could be on a Friday evening, or saturday, early o...

We want to all go out to the Technology Center Saturday at 7:00 pm to celebrate the induction into the Republican Hall of Fame which will honor Whitlely County's own hero, Honorable Bill Nighbert. He will be inducted along with Senator Mitch McConnell. The nation's economy is soaring and there is p...

I've talked with many folks lately about tourist oriented events for Corbin, and we all came to ask the same question, who is the ultimately responsible group for finding, scheduling and putting on these events. It seems that Tourism, Downtown, Chamber of Commerce, and Economic Dev. are working...

Usually after the first of the year, the nibroc meetings begin, I believe in late january or february is the first ones. Watch the newspapers for information.

I know you're thinking "oh gosh, another nibroc thread to gripe about". But, no, I think this one is very valid. Many of us cannot or will not get down to the committee meetings next year. But, there are many great ideas that has come out on this site about nibroc. That said, we need to offer ou...

I've enjoyed this event every time it has been held. It seems to be getting bigger and better. We can only hope it can reach even half the success that Somerset has in their car cruise's. I don't know what you charge for vendors, but, you may want to think of offering new, first time vendors free space rent...

I would just like to say that I think we need some type of club that Corbin and local area singles can meet and socialize. Maybe like a club or social dance club. Not like the Three Knights Redneck version. Does anyone else agree with me?

I was unable to participate in the Christmas Parade this year due to a prior commitment. But after hearing and talking with many who either participated or watched, it was a great success.

I know it isn't a reflection of everyone that lives in Corbin, but my boyfriend and I traveled several hours yesterday to attend the "free" Joan Jett concert we saw advertised online. No where on the advertisment did it say you had to have a special sponsor ticket to get inside the seated a...

The Halloween event was outstanding yesterday, with one count from a Main Street business of over 1300 in just two hours. This year Main Street traffic was blocked off, which was the smartest thing they have done in years. I stayed much longer with my kids because I was much more relaxed not having to wo...

This idea came from a small town in North Carolina I visited, as well as the Cumberland Falls. I call it "Walk Corbin", because that's what you do. You pick a starting point, such as the Chamber of Commerce building, and map out various routes to walk around corbin, round trip, and the mileag...

Those decorations that pigeon forge has that span the street would look good at each end of main street. Don't you think. I don't know how expensive they are, but they're nice. Should this be in the tourism section.

I sometimes wonder if some of the money Corbin spends on NIBROC could be better spent on other projects and needs.

What activities are going on this weekend. I haven't seen anything about this event. Who is putting it on etc. Are there activities on Friday night? Do they know Corbin has a home football game and it is homecoming and Hall of fame!

We are a town that for years, lived and breathed with the railroad. What better a place to have a railroad festival. I don't know the logistics or rules regarding trains and the use of tracks, but, it would be nice to see some old vintage trains roll in and park on the Depot Street tracks, and let folks...

I'm looking for input on our Bypass Cleanup this year. We have it scheduled for October 20 from 9-12pm. Normally we clean the bypass (duh), but I noticed the amount of litter is less and less these days (great problem to have) on that particular road. I'm wondering if perhaps we might need to rename i...

This is a great parade, and the lady that has taken it over has done a remarkable job. Outstanding. I would love to see some of the national guard units in the parade, with some of their tanks and stuff, not just the hummers. It would be great to show their might during this time when they are now and have b...

Corbin has some great fireworks, but, it has the worst location of all the towns and counties around us. That civic center are is TERRIBLE. It's too small, traffic jams are horrendous, and if you have to park and watch away from the area, there's not that many places to go. The mature trees all around b...
