Travel writers get tour of Carson City's attractions
The weather wasn't ideal on Memorial Day weekend, but it didn't dampen the spirits of 10 media professionals invited here by the Carson City Visitor and Convention Bureau to see what the area has to offer.
"I know they were all impressed with all that we have to offer our visitors," said Candace Duncan, CCVCB executive director.
The tour included stops at the Nevada State Museum, the Nevada State Railroad Museum and the Northern Nevada Children's Museum. The writers were also treated to a spooky Ghost Walk tour of Carson City's historic west side. Some also got to check out the local golf courses.
The participants were pleasantly surprised at what the area has to offer.
"There is a lot to do here, but it's a more mellow experience than Reno," said Jeff Weidel of Examiner.com.
The highlight event of the weekend was a ride on the first trip of the season on the V&T Railway, and a tour of Virginia City.
They also sampled the local cuisine at local restaurants like Adele's, The Basil, High Sierra Brewery and Red's.
"I was very proud of everyone from Carson City that participated and worked so hard to make sure these writers had a great time and got to experience the warmth and friendliness of Carson City on an otherwise very chilly Memorial Day weekend," Duncan said. "I know that they were all impressed with all that we have to offer our visitors."
