So two posts ago I promised to talk about what the CCVB does. (Past readers  may recall that our purpose is to promote Cook County tourism, thereby nourishing the culture and the economy of our area.)

One of the many ways we do that is by representing Cook County at events. Last week, executive director Sally Nankivell and I spent three days at the Midwest Mountaineering Outdoor Adventure Expo in Minneapolis, chatting with folks about winter recreation and travel.

Yours truly chatting with two expo attendees.

I didn’t want to plaster pictures of myself all over this post, but I had to share this shot of Sheep Guy, who stopped by promoting wool long underwear. Judging by the amount of attention he garnered, we need a giant moose head for our next show.
