Greetings!
Happy 4th of July!
Richmond Hill has a lot of family friendly activities planned for the July 4th weekend. A few are listed on the events list to the right. If you want to see fireworks, you can go to J.F. Gregory Park or Ft. McAllister. Ft. Stewart is also having a full weekend of activities at their " Worth Fighting For - Independence Day Celebration". The Station Xchange and some Richmond Hill restaurants are having live music. There is something for everyone, so come on out and join the festivities! |
This month's newsletter focuses on the GA Department of Economic Development's efforts to assist communities and individuals with marketing to visitors. Last month we covered the visitor data and research available on their website. Did you know that the State also sponsors a yearly travel guide that is offered free on their website? - Click here to view - You can order a guide to be mailed to you or download the guide to your computer.
The travel guide, and accompanying website, include information about our hotels, local events and attractions. If you own a business that would be of interest to visitors (i.e. hotel, restaurant, shopping, activity, etc....) you can become a partner and upload information about your business for free. You can also upload information about specials and deals you have. Visitors can then use this link to find your website, rate your business, and link to a map of your location. The businesses are listed on the site based on how much information is available about them. The more information, logos, pictures, etc... you include, the closer to the top of each search list your business will be. Please feel free to call the CVB (912-756-2676) with questions or for assistance in getting your business' information listed. |
