Oklahoma Agritourism Workshop Scheduled to Educate About Media Relations

Don't miss the bus! The Oklahoma Agritourism Program will roll through
Southwest Oklahoma Thursday, November 5th

Registration has opened for the 2nd Oklahoma Agritourism Rolling
Workshop set for November 5. Seating is limited for this unique workshop
and bus tour. Seats can be reserved with early registration for $25.
This is the second of a series of five (5) Rolling Agritourism Workshops
to be held across the state.

This workshop experience, which is conducted by the Oklahoma Agritourism
Program, combines the most popular features of past educational events -
a bus tour and educational seminars. This environment is tailored to
facilitating networking between agritourism attractions, stimulating
idea development, and fostering partnership opportunities among peers.

Scoring Media Attention for Your Attraction is the featured topic for
the fall Rolling Agritourism workshop. This educational session will
focus on helping agritourism destinations develop their story,
successfully pitch it to media outlets, and be prepared when the media
arrives at their destination. Oklahoma Agritourism and Oklahoma Tourism
& Recreation Department staff will also be on hand to highlight all the
programs and services available through their respective departments.

The bus tour will feature TG Farms, the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center,
Sooner J Ranch, Woods & Waters Winery, and Red Silo Productions. This
lineup will give participants access to incredible ideas from two fall
attractions, an outstanding Accredited Agritourism Winery, a working
ranch and hunting lodge, as well as a farm and ranch attraction museum
that would be a great partner in western heritage packages.

The Rolling Workshop will depart from TG Farms in Newcastle at 7:30
a.m., Thursday, November 5. All meals and materials are included.  Call
today to get your spot reserved for the workshop. Seating is limited!
