TOURISM TIDBITS By Debi Boughton Tourism Director
It is always a pleasure each year to give an award to the tourism event or ambassador of the year.
Sheila and Russell Pruett are this year’s recipients of the Tourism Ambassadors of the Year. As owners of Jacob’s Vineyard and Winery they welcome hundreds of tourists who visit their winery each year.
In addition, the Pruetts host an event each August. The DELTA Fall Festival is a fun event that includes a grape stomp, cork toss, bottling competition, “I Love Lucy” Look Alike Contest, and children’s games. The proceeds from the festival go to support DELTA which stands for Developing Essential Learning Through Agriculture. DELTA is a non-profit corporation organized to provide job training and opportunities in agriculture for individuals with disabilities.
Sheila also serves as a Board member on the Tourism Advisory Board. Russell and Sheila Pruett are great Tourism Ambassadors for Kirksville.
Pictured above (from left to right) are Russell and Sheila Pruett accepting their Tourism Ambassadors of the Year Award!
