With the start of the Taylorville Home Tour comes the ribbon cutting of Taylorville's new Events Center. The Pillars Event Center will be open for the public to see this Friday at 10:00 in the morning and will be a part of the 25th Taylorville Home Tour. Jerry Cocagne, co-owner of the Pillars Event Center said they have been working hard converting the former church into a center good for weddings and other celebrations.

Cocagne said on top of all of that, they've torn down walls, leveled where the altar was, made new doorways, and put in a new Heating and AC System.

Cocagne said although they are having the grand opening this Friday, they will be doing much more to continue to transform the building into the final event center.

Cocagne appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
