From Tom Bishop: Executive Director, Patrick County Chamber. My license checks and guest registers in the Visitor Centers illustrate the visitors to our county are present!

My license check the last 2 days says we have people here from Ontario, Canada, PA, ME, NY, NJ, RI, OH, FL, NH, WV, KY, AK, MA, TN. I am impressed with the out of state traffic flow. Of course, people from NC towns of Mocksville, Garner, Reidsville, Castle Hayne, and others. Tourism is real! My travels on Parkway - April 5-2010 Blue Ridge Parkway from Buchanan, Vinton and Roanoke to Meadows of Dan is clear and in good shape. Many tree limbs lie alongside the road and will require a lot of cleanup. Major clean up work is progressing at Rocky Knob picnic and campground area. Mabry Mill will open on April 24th.
