“Gov. Beshear and I are proud to announce that the 2021 SOAR Summit will be hosted by the City of Corbin at the Corbin Arena on Oct. 13 and 14 of this year,” announced Congressman Hal Rogers on June 2 at Second and Main in Downtown Corbin.
SOAR, which stands for Shaping Our Appalachian Region, was started by former Gov. Steve Beshear and Rogers to champion local projects, programs, and advocacy for the 54 ARC (Appalachian Regional Commission)-mandated counties in Eastern Kentucky, according to the SOAR official website.
After his introduction, Rogers began his announcement by congratulating Corbin on its accomplishments and revitalization efforts.
Earlier this year, 3 DOORS DOWN released a re-mastered, 20th Anniversary Edition of The Better Life album along with the nine-song “Escatawpa Sessions” as a box set on high-quality 3LP vinyl.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of their multi-platinum debut album,
The Better Life, 3 Doors Down will head out on a massive U.S. tour this summer and into the fall, playing the record in full. Each show will feature one of six slated opening acts, though Seether have been tapped as the sole guest on a majority of the stops.
The 42-date tour is set to begin on June 26 and wrap up on Oct. 16, serving as the protracted anniversary tour for
The Better Life, which came out in 2000 and hit the 20-year milestone last year, but the pandemic obviously pushed the commemorative run out until 2021.
