Marketing Opportunity

Our 2023-24 community guides are running low, so it is time to get working on the 2024-25 guide! We print 3,500 of these and distribute to members, our hotels, and at various events and other customer facing locations throughout the year. As a member, your business will be listed in multiple places and you will have the opportunity to purchase an ad in the magazine. The 2024-25 edition will hit the streets this summer. If you are interested in an ad, email Kristine Richter here.

Welcome New Members!
