Siouxland Tourism Bureau Launches New Promotion


The Siouxland Tourism Bureau has announced the winner of the contest for a new slogan and advertising campaign. The Bureau plans a "Grand Kickoff" to promote Sioux City as a first-class vacation and convention destination.

The winning entry was developed by the advertising firm of Farabelli, Palmer, and Associates for the slogan:

Sioux City: Just a Heartbeat Away from Heaven!

Second place was awarded to Shpilkes Discount Marketing for:

Come to Sioux City!  Bring Your Own Water!

 
As part of the promotion, the city will be reprinting the 1923 publication Sioux City: Three Quarters of a Century of Progress.

"This book is just as relevant today as it was in 1923," declared Mayor Flannel during a break from pressing city business.

The "Grand Kickoff" will be held Sunday, March 9th at 3:30 p.m. at Stockyards Park at the Floyd River Entrance.  Featured activities and exhibits will include:
  • face painting for children
  • traffic camera photographs of family groups
  • the world's largest Republican
  • pothole fishing.
In honor of Siouxland's Native American heritage, representatives of the Winnebago Tribe will be offering free shuttle bus service to the Sloan Casino.  Members of the Omaha Tribe will be conducting a rain dance, weather permitting.
