“Tourism Prince George is delighted to host Vancouver radio station Rock 101 contest winners while they are in Prince George to attend the Elton John concert at the CN Centre on Friday night.
In addition to their contest prize package Tourism Prince George has arranged for our guests to enjoy a limousine service during their stay, a guided tour of the City, VIP treatment at the concert, as well as an array of local products highlighting what our community has to offer.
Based on initial negative promotion of Prince George as a select location for Elton John’s current tour, Tourism Prince George believes this response will ensure contest winners have a positive impression of Prince George.  “This experience has shown us that here in Prince George, we can turn lemons into lemonade and have a bit of fun with archaic perceptions of this amazing city,” comments Sue Clark Interim Executive Director with Tourism Prince George.
Tourism Prince George promotes the city as a preferred destination for visitors traveling here for a special event, a vacation, or a longer stay to experience the urban sophistication and spectacular wilderness that live here side by side and uniquely ours.”

If you have no idea what this is all about, I direct you here.
PS. I wonder if Tourism PG has a contingency plan for this: Prince George is the Worst Place Michael Palin Has Ever Visited
