Tourism Director to Step Down

Tourism Director John Robinson submitted his resignation effective Aug. 1, 2006. Mr. Robinson came to Lesterville for one of the DNR meetings and one of his assistants came to the following meeting and riled the crowd when she stated on a number of occasions that Lesterville was part of the "Arcadia Valley". Tourism has posted a web page about the Black River area, but if you read it you will see a number of errors. So thanks Ameren for experienceblackriver.com which is doing a great job getting the area tourism message out.
