It's a magazine...but it's a whole lot more too!The Big Blue is a way for Southwest Virginia to reach out to the rest of the world. There are many magazines that tell the story of mountains north and south of us. But none that tell our story in any great detail. It's as if the Appalachian Mountains stopped just shortly after Abingdon, VA and picked up again somewhere close to Roanoke, VA!You probably didn't realize there is a beautiful mountain region in between those bigger cities--full of culture, music, art, great food, wonderful places to stay, views, outdoor fun, low-cost living, fresh air...the list goes on!That's one of the reasons we created The Big Blue. We've been here all along, quietly working and living and playing. Now it's time to share our secret with everyone else! The Big Blue covers stories about life here in the mountains of Grayson, Carroll, Patrick and Floyd Counties, the City of Galax, and our close neighbors of Mount Airy and Sparta, NC and Wytheville, VA. Our magazine shows you places to see, eat, stay, visit, etc. We also introduce you to our people and ideas! Each full color glossy issue contains a map plotting all the folks covered in that particular issue, so you can use the issues to plan your trips!If you are a business owner trying to grow your tourism-related business in this area, contact us immediately for the advertising deal of a lifetime! This magazine will reach exactly who you want to reach, and the strength of marketing with other businesses will give you the response you are looking for.
