1st Annual Almaguin Highlands Stone Skipping Contest Offers Chance to Win an Almaguin Highlands Resort Vacation
Almaguin Highlands, Ontario (PRWEB) August 08, 2013 -- Sometimes called the “Gateway to the North,” the Almaguin Highlands, located approximately 2 ½ hours north of the GTA, is also sometimes referred to as “undiscovered” cottage country. The Almaguin Highland Information Centre and the community of Burks Falls, Armour and Ryerson would like to change this and encourage more people to “discover” this beautiful Ontario tourist region. To increase public awareness and promote the Almaguin Highlands as a vacation destination, they are currently running a very unique contest, the 1st Annual Almaguin Highlands Stone Skipping Contest.
The 1st Annual Almaguin Highlands Stone Skipping Contest, which runs August 1, 2013 through August 26, 2013, invites everyone to come up to the Almaguin Highlands and take some photos or videos of their attempts at skipping stones across one of the region’s many beautiful lakes and rivers. These photos can then be entered for the chance to win a grand prize of a 2-night fall getaway for two adults at a participating Almaguin Highlands Resort, along with a $50 gas card.
“I believe the Stone Skipping Contest will prove to be a very effective marketing strategy for the Almaguin Highlands region. The contest is simple to enter and is fun for everyone involved. It promotes the region in a very positive way,” states Michael Piraino, co-owner of Northridge Inn & Resort (http://www.northridgeinn.com), one of the Almaguin Highlands accommodation properties that are participating in the contest.
The Almaguin Highlands Stone Skipping Contest is open to any Canadian resident (excluding residents of Quebec), 18 years or older. The winning entry will be selected at random by the contest sponsor on August 27th. The total value of the grand prize is approximately $400.00.
