I'm sure that most areas have some sort of local special interest

One can only hope for a continued drumbeat of exposure from the
media. I think this may be happening as one outlet sees what another
has done. Good stories tend to self-propagate. In advertising speak,
when everybody is covering the story, you have achieved a "Buzz". We
need to achieve a "Buzz".

Go talk to your local media outlets. Most are starving for story
material so they're prepared to listen to your pitch. Bring a copy of
Val Padget's "Media Kit" which is available from the SSA. Show them
