`Locavores' in Zurich for tourism
ZURICH — The Huron Tourism Association
hosted its 19th annual tourism event and
brochure swap last week at the Bluewater
Community Centre in Zurich and organizers
said it was the best yet.
Event chairperson Duncan Jewell said
while the day had a locavore' theme of buy-
ing local food, it wasn't all about food.
Jewell said the event is about supporting
every aspect of the local economy.
The Huron and Perth Buy Local - Buy
Fresh campaign was officially launched at
the event.
It's part of a province wide campaign to
buy locally produced food and support local
producers.
Tourism co-ordinator Cindy Fisher says
the goal is not only to identify local products
but to make people aware of the range of
products available locally.
Buy local —The 19th annu-
al tourism event and

Centre in Zurich with the

economy. Members of the
