2012... WOW!!

It seems like only a few months ago that Judi and I were planning our 2011 itinerary and now it’s 2012. WOW!! As in past years, I would like to thank those who have believed in us and helped our journey to promote Ontario's great festivals and events... our Banner Advertisers, our Festival Nomad Correspondents, the interesting people Judi interviewed for her THE INSIDE SCOOP Blog and her War of 1812 Celebrations Blog, and all organizations, throughout Ontario that used our services. In previous years we displayed the ads of many of the Banner Advertisers who placed ads with us. This year is no exception. Each ad display has a link to the advertiser's website. Please check them out to learn more about these great organizations.

Here are some of the highlights for 2011:

• During the year we created a number of “Ontario Visited” websites. These included websites for Fairs, Communities, Heritage Properties and Attractions. All are doing well and attracting web visitors. We also created a “portal” website, Ontario Visited at www.ontariovisited.ca. This website allows visitors access to all our websites, blogs and newsletters with ease. In addition to the above websites, we have created two more, Ontario Event Calendar and Ontario Event Finder (search engine). Each of these websites has been designed to allow festival goers access to Ontario festival and event information. These websites contain information about hundreds of Ontario festivals and events. If you know of any that aren't included, please let us know.
