February edition of Tourism Matters now available
Tourism Matters, Visit Winona’s monthly newsletter that is printed and distributed by the Winona Daily News, has a new design and a new print date. Its new format features two pages that are face to face and are now a part of the Winona Daily News, rather than as a separate insert as was the previous case. It will be published the first Friday of each month in the Winona Daily News but it is also downloadable from our Visit Winona website. The newsletter is full of information that is valuable to the local community as well as a resource for those who are visiting Winona. Tourism Matters is available at the Winona Visitors’ Center and the Winona County History Center. To view the newsletters on our website, please click on the multi-media tab on the home page and then click on guides and brochures in the drop down menu and select the newsletter tab on the green side bar.
