County honors tourism director Blair Good Game for years of auction service and tourism work
Summary
St. Clair County commissioners and the Show Creek Valley Improvement Association presented tourism director Blair Good Game a plaque recognizing her work as auctioneer for a community fundraiser; a county official said lodging tax revenue increased after her hiring.
The St. Clair County Commission and the Show Creek Valley Improvement Association presented a plaque to Blair Good Game in recognition of her service as auctioneer for the association’s annual Christmas fundraising auction. Association representatives said the auction has raised nearly $15,000 over the past three years and credited Good Game with serving as the auctioneer during that period.
A presenter representing the Show Creek Valley Improvement Association described Jeff Ker (resident and metalworker) as the plaque’s craftsman and asked attendees to applaud Good Game. A county official who spoke about Good Game’s hiring as tourism director said the county’s lodging tax receipts doubled after her recruitment and praised her outreach work; Good Game thanked the group and encouraged attendance at the annual auction (typically the second Saturday in December).
The commission and association took photos and offered brief remarks about local tourism promotion. Commissioners also noted the county paid for a parking lot at the Show Creek community building, which the presenter said helps the site function as a local voting place and community venue.
What happens next: Community members were encouraged to attend the next Show Creek Valley Improvement Association auction and continue local tourism partnerships.
