It’s Time To Put On That City Host Hat

Did you see the crowds at Franklin Park for the Folklife Festival this weekend? It's the height of the tourism season in the Yakima Valley. It's industry that supports more than 35 hundred jobs in Yakima and brings in millions of dollars in taxes. It's a big shot in the arm for the local economy. Many visitors come from all around for our sunshine, wine, water and sports. And now with the closure of the state tourism office officials with the Yakima Valley Visitors and Convention Bureau are hoping you'll become even more vocal about the positive things in the valley that will help attract visitors this tourism season.
