The possibility of a digital marketing campaign to attract football fans from the Boulder, Colorado; Lubock, Texas; and the Fort Worth - Dallas, Texas areas to Geary County this fall received attention at this week's Geary County Commission meeting.
Convention & Visitor's Bureau Director Raquel Cinco wants to attract football fans of TCU, Texas Tech and Colorado on the weekends that they would be attending football games at Kansas State. The fans could stay at hotels in Junction City.
The cost of the campaign was estimated at $18, 000. Members of the commission had concerns about that cost but Cinco will gather more information and report back to the governing body next week. Commissioners did offer other suggestions ranging from making direct contacts in those towns to contacting bus lines.
K-State hosts TCU Oct. 11, Texas Tech Nov. 1 and Colorado Nov. 29.
