I love seeing so many people at Tiffany' store.I'm sure she must be really happy with the turnout.You made her and her employees Stars.And made the store famous and that might help to preserve it even longer. I have to say ,again,Muddy Pond "Holly" is gorgeous.So is Tiffany. Tenn. has many beautiful women.

[@ronalddawson3873]

I just can't imagine anyone watching the "Meet and Greet" at R.M.Brooks and not having a smile on their face and a tear in their eye. John Ward is "The Star Maker." It has renewed my faith in humanity. The way the Appalachian folks rally to support one of their own.Miss TIffany' heart must be overflowing with the love that was shown to her and her family and employees today.Everybody was there.The big stars of The Appalachian Channel,plus hundreds of viewers of the videos. I stumbled onto the channel just a few months ago and I will be a fan forever.I am 78,in very good health and I am promising that I will visit the store and Miss Tiffany in the near future.I will be a real tourist and ask Miss Tiffany and any other stars that happen to be there for their autograph.I'm serious.God Bless All of you and keep you Safe and Healthy and Happy.I look forward to many more "Meet and Greet" get togethers.Thank you for putting joy back in my heart.My wife passed away and I am all alone with my TV and computer.Thank You.

[@stoneyrunva]

Netflix, HULU, Amazon, Pluto needs to pick this up as a series on TV. Thanks John for helping me forget about politics, war, and daily struggles of life. It feels like I'm hanging out with these good people and becoming friends. Our family has McNew's and Brooks's from the Tazewell County, Va. area. I don't know if we're related though. Is there a link for the campground to reserve a camp spot?

[@theappalachianchannel]

If we were on Network TV they only do 10 Episodes a year and they would not let us do KZbin any longer . Not everyone has a subscription to Netflix Amazon and Hulu but KZbin is FREE so that everyone can watch anytime they would like..Thank you for the comment and watching my videos... John Ward

[@stoneyrunva]

@@theappalachianchannel Good points. KZbin is the best option for visibility. However, could revenue generation from a "tv series" help your community?

RM Brooks has a Facebook page you can message them on but they dont do KZbin so they never see the comments on here.

[@scottgragg6587]

Watching the "glow" emanating from all those that participated in this video reminds me of "If You Build It They Will Come" from Field of Dreams (the baseball movie). I bet Ms. Brooks could have never imagined that all these years later her grit and determination would still bring smiles to those that visit where she once stood. It makes me smile too.

[@scottgragg6587]

I get the same vibe watching this video that I got while watching the Michael J. Fox film "Doc Hollywood". I used to dream about living and growing old in the town that this movie took place in; Grady, South Carolina is what is was called in the film.

Is that Tiffany or Reba McEntire?
