Tour Successful

Saturday’s Upstairs/Downstairs Tour in downtown Three Rivers was hailed a success by event organizers and participants.

A total of seven second-floor residences above downtown businesses were open to the public. Danielle Moreland, a member of the Three Rivers Downtown Development Authority and a key figure in organizing the three-hour event, said it appears more than 100 people took advantage of the rare opportunity to get a look at what it’s like to live downtown.

The walking tour, which cost $10 per person or $15 per couple, was staged as a fundraiser for the downtown merchants to continue offering free events throughout the year.
