    Visiting Green Bay, WI
    Aug 5 2025
    I have a friend that’s made an effort to visit every baseball stadium in the country. He’s pretty close now. I think he only needs 4 or 5 more and he’ll have it. One of the reasons he loves this quest is that it gives him an excuse to visit cities he wouldn’t otherwise go to.

    I get what he’s saying. I have this goal in life to run a half marathon in every state of the country. I’ve checked 7 off so far. I can’t say I would’ve traveled to Idaho if it weren’t for a race. Sports tourism is a thing. People travel all over the place to see landmarks or their favorite teams. And the areas surrounding these venues get to benefit from all of the visitors.

    This week’s conversation is taking us to Green Bay Wisconsin. A city that is best known as the home of the Green Bay Packers. And while thousands of people travel there during the football season, the area has so much to offer throughout the year. It’s landscape is beautiful and there is so much natural beauty there. You’ve got the Bay of Green Bay and the Fox River that provide water adventures and unique opportunities to see the landscape. There’s family friendly fun in theme parks and a remarkable food scene as well.

    I don’t know if you’ve heard, but small towns are in. People are bypassing major cities for vacations in smaller towns and cities. Green Bay should be up at the top of your list for your next vacation. Though, if you hate the cold, you might want to wait until next summer. With me this week is Nick Meisner. He’s the VP of Marketing for Discover Green Bay

    Visiting Baltimore County, MD

    This podcast has taken me all over the country. We’ve even had discussions about trips you can take through Europe and other places. But sometimes the coolest spots to hang are right under your nose. Truthfully, one of the reasons I wanted to start doing Delightful Destinations was to learn more about some of the areas right near me that I didn’t know much about.

    In my time living in the Baltimore area, I’ve spent most of it living in Baltimore County. For those of you listening that don’t know the area, Baltimore County essentially wraps around Baltimore City and extends up toward Pennsylvania. It’s a massive expanse of land that offers a lot of different resources. You have the more urban feel that’s adjacent to the city, and you have a lot of rural land filled with farms, horse training facilities and beautiful areas to experience the outdoors. Not to mention the hundreds of miles of shoreline on the Chesapeake Bay.

    I think Baltimore County is an untapped resource for a lot of folks in the area. As I said, when you live somewhere, it’s easy to overlook what you have at your fingertips. So, I hope today’s conversation will offer some insight into special areas of Baltimore County that people need to check out.

    Joining me today is Tom Yorke. He’s the Chief of Tourism for Baltimore County.

  • Visiting Lutsen Mountains and Snowriver Mountain Resort

    Visiting Lutsen Mountains and Snowriver Mountain Resort
    Jul 15 2025
    If you’ve been a listener of this program than you may have heard me mention before that I grew up in New England. I spent the first 18ish years of my life in New Hampshire. When I got to high school, snowboarding became a huge part of my life and personality. It was what my friends and I loved to do all winter long. I was happiest when I was on a mountain.

    My favorite thing to do was get to the top of the highest peak at any ski resort and just look around at the world. These are images that, even though I saw them nearly 30 years ago, I still have burned into my memory. I think snowboarding was what really made me fall in love with nature and the outdoors.

    When you live in New England you have pretty easy access to some world class ski resorts. And of course everyone always hears about Colorado and Tahoe. Basically it was always New England or the Rocky Mountains. When you talk about the Midwest, it was always about corn fields and how flat it is. Ski resorts weren’t exactly top of mind. Let’s change that story today.

    We’re taking a look primarily at two wonderful resorts in Wisconsin and Michigan. They are part of the Midwest Family Ski Resorts properties. They actually have three, but we’re only going to focus on two. Lutsen Mountains and Snowriver Mountain Resort. With me to open my eyes about skiing and snowboarding in the midwest are Greg Fisher, the chief marketing officer, and Charlotte Skinner, she’s the chief financial officer and chief operating officer.
