Visitors to Vernon now have a new way to be introduced to the city.
Vernon's "Main Street" program is teaming up with local businesses and produced more than one-dozen promotional pieces that will play on a special channel on hotel tv's.
The spots are offered to the businesses free of charge.
The "Outreach to Visitors" program shows guests the opportunities and attractions available in Vernon, and organizers say it benefits all involved.
Dan Kelleher, "Main Street" director, says, "It will benefit the hotels, too because they have guests that have needs, and one of the needs is that they're in from out-of-town, and they don't know where the different restaurants are."
Mayor Jeff Bearden says, "This project is a true partnership between our Main Street group and our tourism committee and our hotel owners to bring a little bit of Vernon to visitors who come and stay in our hotels."
Two hotels have already picked up the program and organizers say they hope more hotels will soon follow suit.
