THE NEW 2015 HAMILTON VISITORS & RESIDENTS GUIDE 

As you are aware, the PCD has discontinued the printing of the Hamilton Highlights and the events listings can now be found online at  www.thisishamiltonny.com.

 

That being said, we receive several requests each quarter from Colgate University, Madison County Tourism, local restaurants, hotels and B&Bs, as well as other tourism related organizations and companies around the region, for copies of the Hamilton Visitors & Residents Guide. To keep up with demand, we will now be printing and distributing 2,500 copies of this publication each quarter. 

 

Advertising is open to ALL businesses in the town and village of Hamilton. The next printing will be for the Summer edition and the deadline for new advertisers is August 17, 2015. 

 

If you would like to place an ad in this piece, please email Erika for rates and deadlines.
