The producers for the show have also determined Noble County has so much to film that fits their criteria there are two shows planned. A second show will be filmed later this year to showcase the area for fall time visitation when such favorites as the Apple Festival, Strawberry Daze, Marshmallow, Pumpkin Fantasyland, and the Bluegrass Festival are all gearing up for their season as well.
All 52 visitors bureaus in Indiana were approached about participating in the series, which will air in all five Indiana television markets reaching an estimated 12.5 million people through network newscasts, and weekend programming. The 22-minute series is highlighting unique dining, lodging, cultural, historical, and farm to fork stories of the county.
" We are happy to have this opportunity to really get the message out about the great offerings we have in Noble County. The hospitality industry represents over $45 million dollars of economic impact in this county every year, and we want to continue to build on that to diversify our economy," said John Bry, executive director of the Noble County CVB.
The show is being produced by Associated Images of Indianapolis with support from the Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana Humanities Council, and the Noble County CVB. Back to Top
