We do OK here in the City of Cuyahoga Falls. And we plan on doing even more. In TODAY'S Akron Beacon Journal is the story of how Cuyahoga Falls is going to spend 4.7 million dollars for a "special events" site.

We're building a permanent festival site right across the street from the Sheraton Suites Hotel.

In addition to the 250,000+ people that will visit Blossom Music Center we'll get another 300,000 "festival visitors". Not bad for a small city.

Although we wouldn't be a TARGET for Jim's newsletter (or would we???)...perhaps the smaller communities of the Cuyahoga Valley might be, like Peninsula or Bath...or other little towns that are NEARBY to many neat valley attractions...

they would WANT to know how to bring these people out of the valley to THEIR little towns and cash in on all this National Park traffic.

We have so much to do here in Cuyahoga Valley...and you'll soon be able to read all about it in my Really Cool Cuyahoga Special Report and Travel Guide...

OH, some of you may have forgotten about the July 4th bash...we're still on. The place is paid for...I'll have plenty of food. There probably won't be a formal "workshop" element to it, but it will still be good for meeting people and sharing some strategy or tactics even.

It is July 5th in Cuyahoga Falls. It is free, bring a dish or chips...and we'll have some burgs and dogs or soy grilling on the grill.
