Mecca in the Coalfields

Appalshop continues to attract an extraordinary array of visitors to Whitesburg. Groups recently finding their way to Appalshop include Maine's Bee Hive Collective, the Executive Leadership Institute of the Forum of Black Public Administrators, and a tour group of national KFTC supporters lead by Christy Brown and Owsley Brown II. March also brought the most heavily attended annual event at Appalshop other than Seedtime, the annual Extension Service seed giveaway program to low income families.

The first week of June will bring a tour of philanthropic travelers, largely from the west coast of the USA, to Appalshop for a intense immersion in eastern Kentucky and the work of AMI. If you are interested in joining this extraordinary experience, contact Exquisite Safaris's David Chamberlain.
