Coverage on visit by Travel Media Association
helps Huron Tourism promote the county
To the Editor,
There is no doubt that the Travel Media Association of Canada writers
Huron County tour was a great success during February. Despite the cold
weather our mutual guests received a warm enthusiastic welcome at
every location we visited.
We have mailed media kits brimming with brochures and additional
information and gifts and look forward to talking with these travel writ-
ers in the coming weeks and months to solicit stories about our region for
a variety of publications.
With each new location we visited we were continually impressed with
the energy and passion that our hosts and presenters displayed when
talking with our writers. We thank you for your support for this media
relations initiative.
Thanks, Susan, for your time to meet with the travel writers as they
toured Huron County in February. Your support for our tourism promo-
tion initiatives is important as you well know, and we appreciate your
interest, especially on a cold wintery day!
Working with travel writers is an opportunity to showcase the county
and our communities, events and activities, historic sites and celebra-
tions, along with profiling dining, accommodation and retail recreation.
Thanks to you we were were able to show our Travel Media Association
of Canada writers that Huron County is worthy of their attention, with
great stories to develop while they explore on Ontario's West Coast.
Many thanks for your support during the February tour.

Loosening up my stitches might be a way to loosen
up myself during my knitting meditation
From Page 4
only the occasional exclamation when something
went wrong.
And, now knitting is being recommended by
doctors in the U.S. as a method of stress relief.
A professor at Harvard Medical School and
author of The Relaxation Response says, "Like
meditation or prayer, knitting allows for the pas-
sive release of stray thoughts."
"The rhythmic and repetitive quality of the
stitching, along with the needles clicking resem-
bles a calming mantra," he says.
While meditation is known as stress relief, it's
also know as a method of self-awareness.
So, I suppose when my stitches get too tight or
my pattern gets messed up, knitting is one more
way to check in with myself.
Loosening up my stitches might be a good way
to loosen up myself.
