MERRILL, WI -- The Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce unveiled a new postcard entitled “Paths Thru the Pines” that depicts photos of the four-seasons in Merrill. It’s all a part of the Chamber’s new tourism theme, “Visit Merrill…..a reason for every season” campaign.
The Chamber will be producing a series of five postcards as part of their upcoming 100th anniversary celebration. The remaining four cards will each depict photographs of Merrill in each season – spring, summer, fall and winter. The first postcard is now available at the Chamber of Commerce office and can be purchased for $.50 each.
The chamber’s executive director, Debbe Kinsey said the Chamber has collected numerous photographs over the years, submitted by a variety of local residents or taken by staff. She has begun selecting photographs that will be used in a variety of formats, projects and advertisements. Some of these photographs can currently be viewed on Facebook where the chamber has an album posted on Merrill’s natural beauty.
