Bragging rights
My regular readers, both of you, know there is a campaign to bring more visitors to Lakewood. Many of us feel passionately that Lakewood has marvelous features to share with the rest of the world. That's one reason for the Lakewood history book, the Lakewood museum, etc...
As one part of that effort, the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce has been reaching out to travel planners, to help tout Lakewood as a destination to see attractions both here and in surrounding areas. Awhile back I enjoyed giving a tour of Fort Steilacoom to some folks who organize reunion tours for military units.
The latest effort to promote tourism and particularly overnight stays is a brochure that provides suggestions for what people can do in Lakewood. The document should help travel planners, but it's also a great way for us to feel good about ourselves. I'd invite you to take a look. If nothing else, you might learn about one or two attractions yourself.
As with any first effort, there's sure to be some attraction or idea left out. Feel free to contact the chamber with your suggestions, or give me a shout.
