The cold, icy weather won’t deter businesses in the City of Corbin from ensuring that both residents and tourists have plenty of fun activities to enjoy this Feb.
“I think in the winter people can get a little stir-crazy,” said Emily Roberts, Executive Director of the Corbin Tourism and Convention Commission. “You get bored because you’re stuck inside because of the ice and snow. Events like these can give people the opportunity to get out of the house, have some social interaction and have some fun.”
Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of the Pinnacle Knob Fire Tower Winter Sunset Tour, which will take place one last time this winter on Feb. 21 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. A Park Naturalist will guide the tour, which involves a 1.5-mile round trip. Limited parking is available, so planning ahead is advised. Attendees should also remember to bring water and wear comfortable hiking shoes.

Local residents and tourists are encouraged to attend these events in the City of Corbin.
“It’s just so special to see people come out and attend the events and see them enjoying themselves,” said Roberts. “It’s just a way to serve people and give them offerings of entertainment and to be able to send time with their friends and family and make memories with one another.”
Roberts continued with, “It’s just a win-win for everybody, for the event organizers and the people who get to come and experience the events.”
