The Pulaski Yankees, who was recognized as having best ballpark at the rookie level last summer, are putting the historic Calfee Park to use by engaging with fans. Minor league baseball and Calfee Park has been a part of Pulaski since 1935. Were not going to let Calfee Park stop being an entertainment venue this summer. Stadiums are being turned into Airbnbs, golf courses, disc golf and now thats going to trickle down to us now that we have the official notice that we dont have Braves games, Bennett said. So, what were going to be doing is looking for other things here at the park and stadium within the states guidelines.

Here's a look at some of the stories we'll be following today as they make headlines across the country and Southwest Virginia. The Smoke on the Mountain Barbecue Championship gets underway today in Galax. Enjoy great food and music in Pulaski at the annual Rib event.
