Staff Report
Date of Meeting: September 26, 2023
To: Tourism Committee
From: Brenda “Bee” Stignani, Office Assistant
Re: 2024 St Croix Valley Visitor Guide
Rosemary Mansfield confirmed that all text and photos beyond the paid ¼ page advertisements
for Gammelgarden, Crabtree’s, and Rustic Roots Winery were written and edited by Mansfield.
The City has paid for one full page of material, and she filled it in to make an appealing two page
spread about Scandia.
The Tourism Committee may submit all text and photo updates until November for sure, and
maybe extended into December if needed. I mentioned the edits of the corrected website
address, removing Eko Backen and adding Big Marine Park Preserve, and adding Vinterlights to
the list of events in our phone call. Mansfield would like to incorporate all of these changes as
well as the copy edits to all of her text.
I also mentioned there may be other businesses who might consider advertising. Mansfield
thought she would be able to fill in more to make it a three-page layout for Scandia with another
two or three new advertisements. The Tourism Committee may submit additional information to
be considered for this extra fill material as well.
