A story about Polk County is going to run tonight and on UNC-TVs NC Weekend.&bsp; The story also ran Thursday night on the same program, according to Polk County Travel and Tourism Director Melinda Massey Young.

The program includes both Green River Adventures and Pearsons Falls in an outdoor feature.&bsp; It will run nearly five minutes.&bsp; It airs Friday at 8 p.m., subject to change.

The Polk tourism office will post a link to the piece on the First Peak web site, www.firstpeaknc.com, once it is available, usually a few days after it airs.

This is the culmination of two visits from the UNC-TV crew last year, which was arranged by the Polk County Tourism Department. The visit has resulted in four different features on Polk County.&bsp; First there was the After Dark feature on the Purple Onion in Saluda.&bsp; Then there was a piece on Saluda, which was meant to include Pearsons Falls in detail.&bsp; The story was cut short and there was only a brief mention of Pearsons Falls, despite lots of quality footage and interviews. &bsp;

Young says she remained in touch with Deborah Holt Noel, the shows host, and pitched other story ideas that could include the use of the waterfall footage they had.&bsp; So, on their next trip, they filmed a wine weekend story and also a trip on the Green River with Green River Adventures. &bsp;

The wine weekend story ran in the fall.&bsp; And now tonight, UNC-TV will show the Pearsons Falls & Green River Adventures piece in what Holt informally called the “Waters of Polk County. “
