MCEDC Requests Event Schedules

Wed, 10 Jan 2018 11:23:20 CST

The Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation is currently requesting event schedules from municipalities and local organizations for the spring and summer seasons. Events must be located within Montgomery County.

As members with the IllinoiSouth Tourism Bureau, the MCEDC is able to market events across 22 counties in Illinois, spanning from the St. Louis area to Indiana. Events such as fundraisers, parish picnics or weekly events like farmer's markets and concerts are not eligible for submission through IllinoiSouth. Priority will be given to events that are more than one day and can be expected to draw visitors from outside a 50-mile radius.

All events must be submitted by January 12, to Valerie Belusko, MCEDC Program Coordinator, at 217-851-4332 or by emailing ed@montgomerycountyillinois.org.

Events fitting the criteria will be submitted to IllinoiSouth Tourism for their Tourism Times publications. They will also be highlighted on Facebook at MCEDC-Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation and online at montgomerycountyillinois.org/tourism.
