Board OKs marketing support for Hegler Terrace Mansion holiday programs
Summary
The LaSalle County Tourism Board approved marketing funding for coordinated holiday programming at Hegler Terrace Mansion, including expanded tours and brunch, after a presentation by Laura Walker; the board carried the motion by voice vote.
At the Sept. 19 meeting, the LaSalle County Tourism Board approved funding to support marketing for Hegler Terrace Mansion’s holiday programming, presented by Laura Walker of the mansion.
Walker described the second year of coordinated holiday programming, which includes the traditional Christmas tree tours and a new "More the Merrier" tour that reaches six of seven mansion levels and the cupola. The mansion will again offer a Saint Nicholas appearance with cookies and cocoa, a Christmas brunch catered by local businesses, and live music from Manderley Strings on the balcony, Walker said.
The presenter requested funding options (a, b and c) for marketing the seasonal offerings. After brief questions, the board moved and seconded the request and approved it by voice vote; the meeting record does not show a roll-call tally or specific dollar figures.
Why it matters: The funding will support marketing for a cultural and heritage attraction that uses local vendors and performers; specifics of the approved option and dollar amounts were not included in the transcript.
