During all the photos and running from City Hall to the Arboretum yesterday, I had the chance to ask Athens Mayor Jerry Don Vaught a couple of questions about being on “Good Morning Texas.”

How did the interview go:

“This is my first actual live interview, doing something like this, so its pretty cool. Paige (McCoy Smith) has been very great to work with me and keep me going.”

How important is this for Athens:

“This is very important for Athens. We know how wonderful Athens is, but to get it televised and showcasing Athens about how wonderful Athens is, that’s going to help our tourism and that’s what we want, to bring people here to see how wonderful Athens is.”
