Passport to Midland

Mark your calendars for October 5 & 6! Our family has really enjoyed Midland's "Be a Tourist in your Town" weekend for several years and this year, it's been renamed but is sure to be just as fun. The Midland Chamber of Commerce does an awesome job with this event! Here's how it works: you download or pick up a passport (details here) and visit as many of the destination locations as possible.  That alone is fun, but even better, when you visit six or more locations and have them marked off your passport, you can turn your passport in to be entered in a drawing. The grand prize this year is an overnight stay and breakfast for two at the H, and there are other prizes as well. It's a fun weekend and almost entirely free. Check it out!
