Why People Fall BACK in Love with Henderson (Even After Exploring Elsewhere) feat. Ellie Kellen

In this episode, Josh sits down with Ellie Kellen, Marketing Director at the Henderson Tourist Commission, to talk about what it looks like to tell the story of a community you love. After growing up in Henderson, Ellie couldn’t wait to leave for college. But while traveling across Kentucky during an internship, she realized something surprising: many of the places people travel to experience already existed back home in Henderson. Today, Ellie spends her days capturing the people, places, events, parks, restaurants, and experiences that make Henderson special...and helping thousands of visitors discover what locals sometimes overlook. In this conversation, Ellie shares why she chose to come home, what visitors consistently say about Henderson, how social media plays a vital role in growing the local economy, and why every resident should experience their own hometown like they’re visiting for the first time. If you’ve ever wondered what makes Henderson unique (or needed a reminder to appreciate where you live) this episode is for you. Follow ‪@tourhendersonky‬ everywhere!
