I spoke with the Convention & Visitors Bureau this morning, and they have
nobody that has too much knowlege in the area's history , so I will become a
step on guide for the several bus tours that come through the area. They also
will help with the smaller, 6-10 person van tours of historic & industrial
sites that I would like to operate myself. My next step is to determine what
my insurance requirements would be, and to acquire a passenger van. Perhaps
I could submit a few grant proposals for start up funding.
Thanks
Rick
