Still time for Mission Possible

VERNON – Gathering clues in support of local tourism is proving popular and there’s still time for super sleuths to get involved.
The second annual Mission Possible, which runs until Sunday, July 17, is hosted by the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Tourism Vernon.
“We have been receiving extremely positive feedback since the campaign began July 1 and residents are having a lot of fun visiting specific locations and tracking down vital information needed to enter for the ultimate staycation,” said Dan Proulx. Greater Vernon Chamber general manager.
“We are thrilled with the enthusiasm residents have towards supporting our tourism sector, which contributes to the region economically and socially.”
Mission Possible will see residents visit at least one of four participating tourism destinations – Allan Brooks Nature Centre, Davison Orchards, O’Keefe Ranch and the Vernon Community Arts Centre. Once on site, they will have to find a secret code word and then fill out a ballot. Participants can go to just one location or all four during the campaign and multiple entries are encouraged.
Once the campaign concludes one name will be drawn for the grand prize, which includes:

• Two nights stay at Prestige Hotel
• SUP rentals for two from Beach Life Boards
• Dinner for two at Marten Brewing
• Breakfast for two at Okanagan Eatery
• Bike lessons for two from Dialed Rides
• Engraved Yeti travel mug and two adult season passes for Davison Orchards tours
• Extended family season pass for O’Keefe Ranch
• Membership and stuff marmot from Allan Brooks Nature Centre
• $250 in Downtown Dollars from the Downtown Vernon Association
