Bountiful Harvest  

     With a travel season mixed with down economy, high gas prices, unseasonably cool spring, flooding and rumors of flooding, we find ourselves very thankful that in the end, it was not a bad year. Many communities are reporting their visitors up and sales up. Of course, it's not all good news, but overall I think we are hearing a sigh of relief that things could have and should have been much worse.

     At this time of year we are thankful for our members and advertisers who support this organization, for those who welcome our visitors and offer wonderful customer service.

     Our new website is under construction and we hope to see a January launch. We need your packaged vacation or get-away to give visitors some options in their travel plans.     

     Create your package (we can help) and get it to us and we will put it on the website free and in our next visitor newsletter to over 5000 email addresses... FREE. 

 Submit your package here.

We are seeking a couple of promotional partners to help man the booth and show your business or community to hunting enthusiasts.   

     SSDTA will pay for the booth and furnishings. Your cost would be $100 plus your own travel and meals. You may bring one brochure to hand out. We ask that you speak about the entire region to visitors as you work in the booth.
