If you didn’t make it to the AAA Great Vacations Expo this past weekend in Columbus, you missed a great time. Destinations from the Virgin Islands to Amish Country and Pigeon Forge to Branson were all on hand giving attendees an idea of what they could expect if they made the trip. Pirates, kangaroos, Tiki bars, and baby goats were all on hand. I got to attend and have a booth promoting Clinton County in southwest Ohio. People couldn’t believe how close we are to Kings Island and that people stay in Wilmington and drive the short drive to the park instead of paying much more to stay at the Kings Island exit. I think we’ll be selling many more Kings Island packages this year. My booth campanion was a pirate helping me drive the message that there’s treasure to discover in southwest Ohio called Clinton County. Looking forward to seeing many new acquaintances in our communities this year.
