Dear Partners,
Who knew a February snowstorm could be such a gift? A couple weeks ago Visit Lake Geneva filmed a new winter commercial with our spokesman Donald Driver. The six inches of fresh powder provided the perfect backdrop for downhill skiing at The Mountain Top, fudge-making at Kilwins, igloo-dining, s’more-making, and trying on the latest winter fashions at Overland’s. Thank you to every business who hosted a very large film crew and helped us put together an exciting new commercial. Donald will be back at our Annual Dinner & Impact Awards to debut our new Fall and Winter ads. READ MORE>
