Travel Writers visit Sparta and White County
Thank you to the State of Tennessee Department of Tourist Development and Geiger and Associates for bringing this Press Tour of Travel Writers to Sparta and White County as one leg of your recent Travel Writer Tour of the Upper Cumberland.
We had a great time visiting with them and showing them some of the wonderful treasures we have in Sparta and White County.
There were actually four 'tracks' the writers could choose from, and each of these tracks had optional activities - so from one visitor to ten visitors, depending on the activity - enjoyed the scenic beauty, adventure travel or other interesting location across the county.
Writers from across the US and one from Canada were part of the tour.
Y'all come back now, anytime!
