Mount Rushmore Presidents to Take Journey across Midwest
The
official tour by the presidential mascots and an accompanying street team from
the Department of Tourism are part of the Department’s “Your American Journey”
marketing campaign. The campaign encourages vacationers to visit places of
great historic significance, unimagined beauty and patriotic inspiration within
the borders of South Dakota. The group will ride in style in a bus wrapped with
custom artwork depicting the variety that South Dakota offers travelers.
“All
of the cities along this tour are filled with people who have a high propensity
to travel to South Dakota,” says Jim Hagen, Secretary of the Department of
Tourism. “The goal of the presidential mascots’ tour is to build awareness
about South Dakota, create excitement among those who see them, and plant the
seed of a South Dakota vacation with all of the potential visitors we have the
opportunity to speak with one-on-one.”
Cities,
in order of the tour schedule, include:
· Rapid City, S.D.
· Pierre, S.D.
· Omaha, Neb.
· Lincoln, Neb.
· Kansas City, Mo.
· Des Moines, Iowa
· Chicago, Ill.
· Milwaukee, Wis.
· Madison, Wis.
· Eau Claire, Wis.
· Minneapolis, Minn.
· Fargo, N.D.
· Watertown, S.D.
· Sioux Falls, S.D.
The presidential mascots and accompanying street team will also offer residents of these cities a chance to win one of four vacation giveaways. Contest details and registration can be found beginning May 15 on the Department of Tourism’s Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/SouthDakotaTourism. The contest runs through June 14, 2013.
The
mascots, designed to depict the mountain carving in the Black Hills, have
traveled across the country the past two years, including a stop in New York
City to watch the “Mount Rushmore’s American Pride” float in the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade. The presidents’ journey can be followed online at www.Facebook.com/SouthDakotaTourism, or
by using the hashtag, #SouthDakota, on Twitter (@SouthDakota).
