The alliance group -- which includes chambers of commerce and tourism bureaus from Hamilton, Steuben, DeKalb, Allen, Huntington, Grant, Delaware and Madison counties -- identified 68 hidden culinary treasures in communities along I-69, Haller said.The article says nothing about Madison County eateries included in the list. Anderson's Herald-Bulletin has nothing on this group.
***The local eateries or attractions selected by the alliance were chosen because they have a long history in the community, offer a truly unique dining experience or tell a great story, Myers said. More will be added in the future.
By this summer, the alliance expects to have a Web site and printed materials available to travelers at rest stops and cultural destinations along the corridor. Haller hopes to eventually offer food tours for guests to explore several food-related attractions in a single day.
The I-69 Foodways Alliance is a local effort, Haller said, but she expects the effort to catch on quickly statewide. The Indiana Department of Agriculture, several agritourism businesses and the Indiana Historical Society have shown interest in the project.
I think if anyone is ready these posts regularly you know that I think tourism is an important economic development tool. Here we have a group trying to promote our area and nobody here seems to know about it.
