Testimonials

“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
