CVB staff presented a draft visitor map and marketing updates, told the board that Expedition Texas filmed Denison during recent holiday events, and said the governor’s office will present a tourism-friendly proclamation at an upcoming council meeting.

Speaker 3 asked the board to review a draft tourism map intended for distribution at the visitor center and solicited corrections or suggestions (historical markers, boat ramps, Munson Park and disc golf, Perrin water tower). Board members discussed labeling and the risks of printing materials with logos before partnerships were firm; Speaker 3 recommended smaller initial print runs or holding logo additions until partnerships are confirmed.

Speaker 3 said Expedition Texas filmed Denison businesses and attractions (the Birthplace, Red River Railroad Museum, KD Depot and local merchants) and expected robust content to share; a day‑tripper giveaway opens at 5 p.m. and staff asked board members to share the promotion on social channels. She also announced the governor’s office will present a tourism‑friendly proclamation at the next council meeting and that several Austin representatives are expected to attend.

Speaker 3 said council will consider appointing Amy Atkinson Dennis, owner of Lettuce Indulge, to the CVB at a Monday council meeting; if approved, she would join the board in January to fill the vacant restaurant-sector seat.
