Michael Potter sends a modest proposal for tourism growth

"See Colorful Adair County in Pure Black and White," would be slogan if there were white deer, black squirrels imported here, he suggests

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Regarding black squirrels for tourism interest: In Upstate New York, particularly around the old Seneca Army Depot, there is a large population of white deer. They are not albinos. They have dark eyes, hooves, and noses. Google "white deer" to see some of them.

If a white deer population, along with black squirrels, were established in Adair County, an interesting promotional tag line might be, "See Colorful Adair County in Pure Black and White."

s/Michael Potter



Thanks for the suggestion. Adair County is ready for the busloads of tourists who will be coming as the word gets out. This plan could certainly goose the numbers, just as the plan the committee is said, in the urban legend, to have brought back to Russell Co. in 1948, when they said reported, "Yes, we can make The County into another Gatlinburg. All it will take is $48 million to build a mountain." But just as The County has built a tourism business on it's own without spending $48 million on mountain, and laying on Al Jolson's side as the late Dr. Steve Aaron used to say, we may already have the exotic aqua fauna we need to bring in the masses with in the Green River bioreserve, as Alan Reed and Dr. Richard Kessler are discovering. -EW.
