Bureau pushes white squirrels in statewide promotional campaign

The white squirrels lost their bid to become one of the state's Seven Wonders, but Olney has been chosen as one of 12 towns to be showcased in a statewide promotional campaign by the Illinois Bureau of Tourism.According to the letter received by City Hall in December, IBOT's Spring/Summer 2007 Illustrated Poster Campaign features “vintage-inspired" designs that serve to “highlight kitschy and off-the-beaten-path attractions throughout the state," said City Clerk Belinda Henton.The letter also stated these attractions have “benefited from increased traffic due to advertising."
