I read this on-line this morning....maybe we could start our own slogan for our area.
Quinte-Sential Walleye Fishing!

Georgia fishing for angle
Published on: 01/17/07
We have a new motto! Georgians everywhere are celebrating the news that the state will now promote itself as a "fisherman's paradise" (that's from Gov. Sonny Perdue's State of the State address last week) with the new slogan: Go Fish Georgia.
Perdue plans to spend $19 million to promote fishing in Georgia, including building boat ramps and luring bass tournaments.
As a tourist magnet, "Go Fish Georgia" is not quite up there with "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas." Plus the construction feels strange. Should there be a comma? "Go Fish, Georgia." Or "Go, Fish Georgia."
But even with limited appeal, it beats New Hampshire's sweet come-on "Live Free or Die."
The bandwagon has started to roll, as many players in the state come up with their own related tourist slogans.
Some possibilities:
• Go to Jail If You Jaywalk Atlanta
• Go Sit in Traffic Gwinnett
• Go Have a Ball Sugarloaf Country Club
• Go Nuts Plains
• Go Bust Delta
• Go Drool Cheetah
• Go Whole Hog Bob Nardelli
