A Rural Tourism Grant was awarded to the Dayton Chamber for an Outdoor Adventure Brochure.

Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce President John Cassinelli announced today that the chamber has received a $10,000 rural tourism grant from the Nevada Department of Tourism and Travel Nevada for an outdoor adventure and recreation brochure.

The Dayton Area Chamber is planning to produce and distribute a brochure that highlights outdoor adventure near the town of Dayton and increase visitations to the town as well as the region.

Content will include information for OHVers, mountain bikers, hikers, general outdoor enthusiasts, equestrian, and wildlife viewing. In addition, a select list of nearby lodging options will be highlighted (Carson City, Virginia City, Dayton RV Park and Dayton State Park).

This brochure will also promote sites of interest near town, utilizing Dayton as a “base camp” for these ventures. The project includes creative direction, design, print, and distribution of 20,000 “Dayton Outdoor Adventure” brochures.

The distribution program will include Reno/Carson City, Gold Country CA, Welcome Center in Truckee CA, North Lake Tahoe CA, South Lake Tahoe CA, and the Welcome Center in El Dorado Hills, CA. In addition to the printed brochure, a digital version will be available on daytonnvchamber.com as a .pdf download.

Cassinelli noted, “We are grateful to the Nevada Department of Tourism and Travel Nevada for their support of our efforts in rural Lyon County. We are looking forward to welcoming visitors here for a great outdoor recreation and adventure experience.”
