Small Town Taylorville is welcoming a new Founding Member to the organization in Taylorville's Pillars Event Center, a Taylorville staple that hosts weddings and other gatherings. Jerry and Lori Cocagne, Owners of Pillars Event Center, spoke about the renovations they largely took on themselves eight years ago to transform the Baptist church into a place suitable for celebrations while keeping many of the original architecture and materials.

The Cocagne's also have two Airbnb locations in Taylorville which they say attract all different types of travelers and not just those attending weddings at the Pillars.

Small Town Taylorville Board Chair, Steve Craggs, says the group is proud to welcome the Pillars Event Center and that STT is up to over 50 members.

Jerry and Lori Cocagne along with Steve Craggs appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
