The Oil Region Alliance celebrated National Travel and Tourism Week May 1 to 7 by joining nine other western Pennsylvania counties to give away $100 prize packages highlighting amenities and tourism destinations.
Dozens of people signed up for Venango County’s drawing through a link on the ORA’s website and social media pages making them eligible for prizes from Beaver, Butler, Crawford, Erie, Indiana, and Lawrence counties as well as Fayette, Somerset, and Westmoreland counties, All these counties make up the GO Laurel Highlands region.
Seven oil region folks will have $100 to travel and spend in another county while Venango will see around 10 new faces too as result of this effort.
“This was a great opportunity to spotlight several of the Oil Region’s premiere destinations to our tourism counterparts as well as the general public,” said Emily Altomare, ORA Communications and Tourism Manager. “I look forward to participating in this National Travel and Tourism Week event annually and working to grow it every year with our neighboring counties.”
Prizes representing Venango County included gift certificates to Barrow Civic Theatre, Bella Cucina, Benjamin’s Roadhouse, TrAils to Ales, Olive Vault, DeBence Antique Music World, Venango Museum, Core Goods, Karma Coffee, Transit Art Gallery & Gifts, Drake Well Museum & Park, Cross Creek Resort, and Emlenton Brew Haus.
