Cincinnati USA Convention and Visitors Bureau March FAM Tour

Let the FAM Tour begin:

The first stop for the national meeting planners was Jean-Robert at Pigall's, Cincinnati's finest four-star restaurant.



Awaiting the entourage was a beautifully and elegantly set table.

Once the guests were seated, Dan Lincoln, President of Cincinnati USA, welcomed the group and highlighted the many reasons they should choose Cincinnati as their national meeting destination.


There was a lot of laughter.

Awaiting the guests outside Jean-Robert was a touring coach.

The honored guests were treated to a fun tour of the city.


Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.


The Freedom Center was the first stop of the city tour.



It was poignant moment.




From the Freedom Center the coach headed across the river to the People Purple Bridge, where they were greeted by the folks of the People Purple Bridge Cl!mb. Were any of them game for a stroll on top of the bridge? Maybe when they return to the city.


Did I mention, fun was had by all?

After the tour of Newport and Covington, awaiting the guests at Skyline Chili was Mayor Mark Mallory, who welcomed the group to our wonderful city of Cincinnati.


The Mayor was a gracious host.



Everyone waited anxiously for their first taste of Cincinnati's unique style of chili.


The verdict: delicious!



The guests concluded their whirlwind tour of Cincinnati with an exquisite and intimate dining experience at Cincinnati's Union Terminal.



The setting was fit for a king and queen. The talented team at Accent on Cincinnati were the architects of this wonderful atmosphere.

What a perfect conclusion to a perfect day.
