Washington will play host to a regional tourism conference this Wednesday. Michelle Redlinger, director of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, says she’s excited to showcase the community and bring tourism professionals to the area. She says the conference is a chance to network and learn from other professionals in the industry. Redlinger says the event will be in the Washington Public Library and she feels it’s important for the attendees to see the heart of Washington, which is the square. The group will wrap up with local historian Mike Zahs who is doing a tour of the State Theater and its importance in the community.
