Tourism Assessment

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

The tourism assessment has been completed and a report compiled.  Ryan Pesch, U of MN Community Economics Extension Educator, and I had a great time working with you to make this happen.  I hope it is useful to you and sparks new ideas.  Looking back over the past 18-months, it has been great to see ideas around tourism already come into fruition.  From a new Bed and Breakfast and a remodeled motel, to great flower planters and wifi at LaLa’s, Fertile really does have a lot of offer.  I hear Summer Fest at AELC and the short trainings out there were a success.  Keep up the fabulous work.

Take a look at the report by clicking on the link below.  Maybe you too will find something fun to do around Fertile!

And, Jennifer, thank you to LaLa’s for hosting us, letting us enjoy your venue for the day and for the FABULOUS homemade icecream!
