We were in the studio for Tourism Tuesday - Winchester/Frederick County edition - with Justin Kerns from Winchester/Frederick County Convention & Visitors Bureau to talk about several events happening over the next several weeks. Justin reminded us the Curves to Cores Hog Rally is coming to the area June 19 - 21.
