The Franklin County Regional Chamber of Commerce and the St. Albans Messenger have announced a brand new publication for businesses in and around Franklin County to present their products and services in a brand new way. The Franklin County 2012 Area Guide is the first-ever regional publication to be distributed not only in Franklin County, but throughout Vermont, southern Quebec, the western shore of Lake Champlain in New York, and on the Internet, and will be a guide for visitors, a guide for new residents, a guide for locals.
The area guide is designed to be an annual, year-round publication, as vital in February as it is in August. This year’s edition is slated for release in mid-April, just in time for the Vermont Maple Festival and in advance of the wide variety of summer, fall, and winter events that attract locals and visitors alike.
This regional guide will have a brief description of each town in the County and will include detailed maps highlighting the area’s lodging, dining and attractions. ‘This is a great opportunity to promote the many fine businesses in our region,’ stated Jim Walsh, Executive Director of the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, ‘a piece we’ve been missing for many years,’ he added.
For more information on how to participate in the area guide please call the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce office at 802-524-2444 or email [email protected]. ‘We encourage event planners to send us their information and businesses who are interested in participating to give us a call,’ Walsh added.
