“The Joliet Visitors Magazine’s ability to
organize, highlight and inform readers about the city is
crucial in the campaign and branding process. Including
features and articles on community specific attractions,
history and icons, the JVB truly captured a collective combination
of information for both tourists and the community.”
- Senator A.J. Wilhelmi May 2006
“It is in cooperation with the Joliet Visitors Bureau
that the Joliet Park District is happy to promote the City
of Joliet and all the wonderful attractions and possibilities
the city has to offer.”
- Dominic Egizio, Executive Director, Joliet Park District
“As a community clearing house of information, the
Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce happily distributes the
Joliet Visitors Magazine and increasingly utilizes the guide
an informational tour for local and out of town visitors.”
- Russ Slinkard, President Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce
“The 2006 Joliet Champions on the Street event was
truly a welcome addition to the IHSA Class A Boys Baseball
Tournament and we look forward to several great years of
partnership with Joliet!”
- Anthony Holman, Assistant Executive Director, IHSA
“The scouts of our area staffed and ran a
dunk tank throughout the June 2nd Champions on the Street
event, and the activity allowed them to raise over $1000
dollars throughout the day. This event’s publicity
and broad range of appeal and community pride was a true
inspiration to the Boy Scout community and we look forward
to continuing to help with the event for many years to
come.”
- Jim McFarland, Chairman Greater
5 Rivers Boy Scouts of Will County Area
