From time to time I see one of you, our friends and supporters, and I’m always pleased and surprised when you take time to tell me that you appreciate the work I do here.

Whether you’re reading our News, visiting our Site, viewing our Photo Gallery, or making use of one of our other services I really appreciate it when you take time to let me know we’re on the right track.

As many of you know I’m self taught, yet our site manages to bring in over 50,000 visits every month.

That is something I could never have done on my own!

I really do believe that it is because of you our friends and supporters.

Your telling others about Yarmouth County and surrounding areas and our Site, YarmouthCounty.com, means that we all benefit.

That is truly what it’s all about, working together to make our home a place where all will come to visit and see our togetherness.

Sincerely,
Brian Hurlburt

Similarities Between New Jersey And Yarmouth

I know to some it may seem strange to find similarities between New Jersey And Yarmouth. However, after having visited one, and lived the other, there are definitely remarkable similarities!

For instance, do you know the best way to reach the Statue of Liberty is not from New York!

The better way, according to Destination Jersey City is from Jersey City, New Jersey!

Together We Can

We Maritimers have a way of pulling together when things get tough and rejoicing together when things are going well. (When we’re not complaining about the weather that is!)As summer comes upon us, yeah sure it’s all of 0 degrees Celsius, our minds turn to family and visitors we’ll have come to our shores this summer.

With expected tourism counts being low again this year, why not invite the family from away to come visit. They are likely to go somewhere, why not make a special effort to invite them here?

Let’s work together to make it a true destination, and not just a gateway.Why not help us share the word, use the link below to forward this email to a friend!
