Paxton Predicts Strong Year for Tourism

Gasoline prices have risen nearly 40 cents a gallon in the last two weeks. Despite that, Lisa Paxton, Executive Director of the Brainerd Lakes Chamber of Commerce, is predicting another good year for tourism. She says visitors are making last minute plans, sometimes calling on their cell phones one the way up north.
Paxton says the price of gasoline a year ago was $3.80 a gallon, and they still had a successful year.
Incidentally, if you are in your car and heading north, you can call the Brainerd Chamber at: (218) 829-2838.
