Wallace on WNCT

Wallace was featured on WNCT News July 18th in the “My Hometown “ Segment! There were 3 segments shown during the 5:00 & 6:00 news hour with Annette Newell, the News Anchor of the 6:00 and Nightside newscasts for WNCT & The CW. The segments included an interview with Mayor Charley Farrior, who discussed the history of Wallace and the importance to the town of the railroad in the past, and therefore the importance of the depot renovation project to the town. During one segment, Ms. Newell commented on the revitalization efforts of the downtown section, and the growth in Wallace as a whole with the building of River Landing and it’s cousin, The Vineyards.
During the 6:00 broadcast, with Thomas Edgerton running the trains, Ms. Newell interviewed Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lou Powell. Though she was a little nervous about that camera and mike, Lou did a wonderful job of explaining that though Wallace is progressive, it has small town charm and welcoming arms- and promoted the fact that we have great shopping and restaurants. Annette commented after the segment that she was very impressed with the pride and community involvement she found here!
