Taking tourism to a new level

Tallapoosa County has always drawn visitors from all over with its natural beauty, friendly faces and endless activities, but having the Tallapoosa County Tourism group has definitely widened the possibilities for the Lake Martin area. One of the newest faces of Tallapoosa County Tourism is none other than Reeltown native Katelyn Cotton.

Cotton, who graduated from the University of North Alabama in December of last year, has been part of the community her entire life and decided after obtaining her public relations degree she would return home and take up a position at Dadeville High School.
