October 24, 2012: Group CJ and the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau Win Top Tourism Award for New Dining Guide “Beyond Grits”
(WED OCT 24, 2012) Last night in Bowling Green, Lexington’s Group CJ received the highest honor at the annual Kentucky Tourism Industry Association’s “Traverse Awards for Excellence in Tourism Marketing”. Best of Show was awarded for the clever, pocket-sized local dining guide produced on behalf of the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau. The popular guide titled, “Beyond Grits” was created to raise awareness of the growing, world-class culinary scene in the Bluegrass.
The competition judged by a panel of industry experts, included the best travel and tourism industry marketing professionals from Louisville, Lexington, Northern Ky and the entire state.
Connie Jo Miller founder of Group CJ comments on the local restaurant boom, “I like to think that Lexingtonians are similar to our symbolic horse-of-another-color, a little quirky, proud of our traditional heritage, yet avant-garde enough to embrace the artistic and the unusual. Our open and lively spirit is what allows innovative, locally-owned restaurants to thrive here in our Bluegrass.”
The culinary guide is available at the new Visitors Center in Victorian Square, hotels and restaurants. The accompanying website www.beyondgrits.com is now live. Plans are in the works for an event encouraging visitors and locals alike to experience Lexington’s bold, eclectic dining scene. Beyond Grits: Lexington Restaurant Week 2013 will take place July 25-August 3.
