Supporting local: Grant County Tourism Commission works to bring visitors while supporting area businesses

EPHRATA – Grant County has a lot to offer travelers, whether they’re passing through or coming for a show at The Gorge Amphitheatre or maybe spending a weekend at a bed and breakfast by the Columbia River – but it takes work to get the word out about the attractions in the county. That’s what the Grant County Tourism Commission is for though. “Fundamentally, when you break it down, we utilize funding from LTAC, which is the Lodging Tax Advisory (Committee), and we take the revenue generated from tourism – all the people that travel to our county and spend money staying in hotels and campgrounds and RV sites – and we use that to promote the entire county,” said Tourism Commission Chair Amanda Laramore.

The Fishin' Magician: Fish Camp

I had a busy past week, putting about a thousand miles on my Ford F-150. I traveled down to the Columbia River Gorge to attend "Fish Camp", and got to fish for walleye and smallmouth bass, as well as meet some great people that manufacture outdoor gear. This is an annual event where writers and broadcasters like me are invited to spend some time fishing together and learn more about their products.
