“We wanted to recognize Kristy Szemetylo, Rick Sabine, Martha Thomas, and Angel Mack, for what they contribute, and what they do for our community.

So, we are just thrilled to honor them and thank them for all that they do for our community,” said vice president of the Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau, Kelly Ashby.
Tourism is a big part of Zanesville-Muskingum County which includes trails, music, museums, arts and culture. It all plays a big part for locals and visitors to have a fun and safe place to visit. Kelly Ashby said that the industry has over a 220 million dollar economic impact on the area.
