Reserve your space today for the 2012 Raystown Region Wedding Expo!

Over the last few years we have noticed an increasing number of weddings taking place in our region.  Locals as well as visitors from outside the area are choosing the Raystown Lake Region as the destination for their weddings, and even some honeymoons!

With this in mind, the Huntingdon County Visitors Bureau is pleased to announce a marketing emphasis on promoting our area as a host for destination weddings.  This campaign involves a feature article in the 2012 Huntingdon County / Raystown Lake Region Visitors Guide, a special section of our website at www.raystown.org/weddings, targeted advertising, and our second annual Raystown Region Wedding Expo!

The Raystown Region Wedding Expo will be held on Sunday, October 7, 2012 at the Huntingdon Country Club.  Members of the Huntingdon County Visitors Bureau* are invited to exhibit from 1pm-4pm for a table fee of $50 (Non-member rate: $100).  Each exhibitor is also expected to contribute a door prize with a retail value of at least $100.

We are advertising this year's event with TheKnot.com, WJAC television, MERF Radio, The Daily News, Facebook, Google AdWords, as well as other promotion through social media channels.  We encourage you to invite your bridal, reunion, and anniversary clients to attend the event by sharing a link to www.raystownweddings.com.   This year we have partnered with WJAC-TV for an opportunity for vendors at the expo to gain additional exposure through a television advertising package.  Check this link for details.

Sponsorships are also available that include table space, and a variety of other benefits.  Call Matt Price at 814-658-0060 for more information
