Geary County CVB Advisory Committee members have supported an effort to have KSNT conduct digital advertising to attract visiting football fans to Junction City motels when their teams play at Kansas State this upcoming season.

The cost will be $2,000 per game for three games including the contest with TCU Oct.11, Texas Texh Nov. 1 and Colorado on Nov. 29.

A live streaming service will be geared toward the areas where those teams are located including Fort Worth and Lubbock, Texas plus Boulder, Colorado.

In other business during a recent meeting the CVB Committee discussed the Atomic Annie cannon area located at Freedom Park. CVB Director Raquel Cinco noted that there needs to be landscaping work, some railing on the trail there that needs to be fixed and some equipment that needs to be painted.

The CVB wants to update information on a kiosk along US 77, possibly make it a new or updated structure and add some lighting. This is preliminary right now. Final action has not been taken.
