Edmonton Golf Show and the Rocky Mountains showing off thier best

Spent last weekend at the Edmonton Golf Show. We are trying to be more aggressive this year with the distribution of the Vernon and North Okanagan Map Book- so we have really enhanced our direct mail campaign into our target markets of Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary - and we has supplemented these direct mail campaigns with attendance at trade shows in these same target markets.
Our give away contest was quite a nice weekend here in Vernon, that features; a round of golf for 2, a wine tour for 2 as well as 2 nights accommodation - people were directed to go to the website, in order to enter the draw. We had quite a good response which is great!!!- the more people who access http://www.virtualvernon.com/ for thier information, the better the exposure for our advertizers - so this is a great first step.
On the way back from Edmonton, I decided to turn off at Red Deer and take the road to Rocky Mountain House that connects to the Banff Parkway- luck was with me, because it was a sunny clear day and there had been recent snow in the pass - so the parkway was simply spectacular - breathtaking.
I think this drive is one of the most beautiful in the world - at least it is the most awe inspiring drive that I have every been on, the conditions could not have been better to see the Great Divide and the Glaciers in thier sparkling winter glory - it was worth the whole trip and the long drive home to get the opportunity to see the mountains at this time of year - simply wonderful.
