The Cass County Board of Supervisors approved a funding request from Cass County Tourism officials, for new tourism brochures. Kenner Baxter presented a mock-up of the brochures and spoke about them during the Board’s meeting this (Monday) morning. She said the last time the brochure was updated, was in 2007, so it’s time for a new one. The brochures are entitled “Explore Cass County.”

They were created by Hotch Studios, of Atlantic, a graphic design company. Baxter says they were reasonably priced. The bid for the design cost came in at $270. The printing of 2,500 brochures at Safeguard Business Systems in Atlantic, will cost $288, for a total of $558, which the Board agreed was very reasonable. Kenner said the brochures will be printed in the next couple of weeks. She said they really need them because the “Our Iowa” bus tours are coming through this summer, and they have the old brochures, so “we need to give them something new.”

The brochures will be available at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce office and at all Iowa Welcome Centers.
