Huron County has so much to offer and Ben -
miller Inn - and gel manager Scott
Evans wanted to showcase the products and
services of the area.
The Huron County Open House, co-ordinat-
ed by the Huron County lburism Association,
saw 600 people experiencing all that Huron has
to offer, and Evans, President of the tourism as'
sociation, said it couldn't have gone better.
"[The event] was brilliant, the weather was
definitely on our side, and we estimate that
there was close to 600 people," Evans said. "It
was extremely well received."
Hosted at the Benmiller Inn on Sunday, July

the event.
"I've been with the Benmiller Inn for five
years, and when I talk to people about it, they
say that they've been there, but its for when
they have guests, and that's simply not true.
The inn isn't outrageously priced, and you

munities."
The event featured food by local vendors
like Metzger's Meat, as well as local entertain-
ment.
"We had Magic Mark, who was absolutely
brilliant," Evans said. "He was amazing, and
did tricks for children and for the adults in the
crowd."
Joining Magic Mark were members of the
American Wind Symphony Orchestra on a
three day visit, as well as Matthew Hussey,
a mainstay of the Benmiller Inn's lounge on
Saturday nights.
