Smaller Indiana / Visit Indiana Leaf Cam Promotion

I work at the Indiana Office of Tourism Development (blog) and the ultimate goal of our office is to promote tourism in Indiana. At this time of year, Indiana has some great fall travel opportunities available, and we need your help. Like many other organizations, we need to maximize our impact and want to reach out to all Smoosiers and ask for your help. Tourism is big business in Indiana, attracting more than 62 million visitors and generating more than $10 billion in economic impact each year. Indiana's tourism industry employs more 257,000 Hoosiers! Here's where you come in. We're looking for Smoosiers to start making noise online about Indiana. We want you to blog, tweet and share photos about your experiences, your favorite events and attractions, and everything you love about the fall in Indiana.

The first step is to join the Indiana Leaf Cam group. Once you've joined, we want you to talk about your favorite fall activities in Indiana. Whether that's a day-long hike in Clifty Falls State Park or driving the backroads in the fall to view the leaves, we want to hear about your travels throughout Indiana. We've started the #LeafCam hashtag on Twitter and the LeafCam tag on Flickr. You can also blog about the Leaf Cam or join our Facebook Group and tell us about your travels in Indiana. Just be sure to link off to visitindiana.com or visitindiana.com/leafcam/

The first prize we're giving away for the Smaller Indiana / Visit Indiana Leaf Cam Promotion is a one- or two-night stay (based on availability) at Patoka's Edge.

Patoka's Edge is a 3-bedroom home that sleeps 8 (1 king bed, 2 twin beds, 2 queen beds). Fully furnished, it comes with a washer and dryer. Just bring food, paper towels and personal toiletries. Within walking distance from lake, with a private outdoor hot tub on an open deck. Don't forget your fishing pole for the private fishing pond. Patoka's Edge is located about 17 miles from French Lick Resort. (Click here for more pictures and info about Patoka's Edge.)
