Tell Us Your Pickle Stories!

During our Tourism Industry Ambassador Training we show the customer service DVD "Give 'em a Pickle!" to encourage great customer service. Pickles are those special or extra things people do to make customers happy.

We want to hear about the great customer service you provide. Stories should provide a brief profile of the staff, the business and a short paragraph about the "pickle". Selected Pickle stories we will be featured in our upcoming Tourism E-News and will receive a pickle prize. We look forward to receiving your stories and awarding a pickle prize.

Send us your stories today!

Please use the form to submit your pickle stories! Please note that all fields are required.

Donations Welcome

Pickle Prize donations of tickets to attractions and events, restaurant coupons, and local products are welcomed from our local and area partners. These prizes encourage recipients to visit local facilities to become more aware of your services and in turn refer visitors to you. Contact us to make a prize donation.
