The 2013 Finger Lakes Sweet Treat Trail Tasting Tour was a great success with 2,147 people traveling at least a portion of the trail. As a bonus the Trail received some great press and was even featured on YNN when Mike O'Brian, 'The Getaway Guy," made a visit. Trail partners will be getting together on Tuesday, January 14 at 12 noon to talk about activities for 2014. If you produce a 'sweet treat' made with local products, are open for visitors on a regular basis, and would like to learn more about the Finger Lakes Sweet Treat Trail, please join us for this organizational meeting. Please call the Tourism Office, 315-255-1658 to register.

Cayuga County Tourism will be participating in New York State's "Haunted History Trail" in  2014. The trail includes haunted sites in 21 counties across New York State. In Cayuga County, visitors will learn about the Seward House Museum's Haunted History Tours, Fort Hill Cemetery's Walking Tours, Screamer's Hollow and Captain Jack's Pirate Ship. If your organization is planning a haunted event or activity in 2014, please contact the Tourism Office so that we can include you in this promotion.   Also, hotels with haunted deals or packages are highly encouraged and will be promoted as well. Check out www.hauntedhistorytrail.com to see what this spooky and fun trail is all about!

The brochure rack we maintain at the Arby's/Tim Horton's in Weedsport continues to be a popular resource for visitors with 4,214 brochures being distributed during 2013. If you would like us to include your hotel or attraction in the rack display in 2014, please deliver 100 brochures and your check in the amount of $50.00 ($100 for non-Cayuga County attractions/lodging) to the Cayuga County CVB, 131 Genesee Street, Auburn, NY 13021. We will call you when we need additional brochures. With postage rates rising again, this is a very cost-effective way of distributing your brochure that you may want to consider.
