Comments from Kim ...
We were "this close" to Spring ... However, GREAT NEWS for our ski centers, snowmobile trails, restaurants, hotels and almost all of us here in the Lake George Region! Thank you, Stella!
I have my final travel show of the season next week. We are off to the Philadelphia Travel & Adventure Show. Again, I will say... If your business/property is NOT partnering with us through the brochure co-op program, you are missing an amazing opportunity to get your information in the hands of THOUSANDS of potential guests. Be on the lookout next season when your advertising packet arrives. 

As our membership continues to grow, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for referring businesses to us, sharing our information with businesses you would like to see join us, and for continuing to support us with your participation in our programs and events. We appreciate YOU!


Until Next Time, 
Kim
