People do not want to pay $80+ for a room then drive 30+ miles to an event with gas around $3 a gallon. I don't know that I would want to stay at some of those motels/hotels either. All the people at Hillbiily Days do not stay in a hotel/motel. Fast Food makes up 80% of the food source in Pikeville. My post is not negative toward Pikeville, I think Pikeville has tried to develop more opportunities for visitors, but they can not host an event of this size and provide needs for the people attending.
