This spring, Ruby Creek Resort on the Pend Oreille River in Northeast Washington announced the launch of its new Pend Oreille River Valley Passport, a program designed to encourage guests to explore the scenic area and support local businesses in the surrounding community. “We believe in the importance of supporting the local economy,” says Jake Abbott, Ruby Creek Resort owner. “The River Valley Passport is a fun and rewarding way for our guests to discover the unique offerings of the Pend Oreille River Valley while enjoying exclusive discounts at participating businesses.”
The River Valley Passport is available to all guests staying at Ruby Creek Resort, a waterfront retreat in the Selkirk Mountains that’s close to many hiking and biking trails and historic sites. It offers camping, RV sites, and bunkhouse rentals. Upon check-in, each group will receive a passport booklet. During their stay, guests are encouraged to visit the 16 participating “Passport Partners” and collect a stamp at each location. Each passport partner will offer exclusive discounts or special offers to participants. “We’re thrilled to be part of the River Valley Passport!” says Shari Brownell, Owner of Brownells’ in Newport. “In small towns, we all rely on each other. This program is a great example of how we can work together to strengthen our community and attract more visitors.” Resort guests who successfully collect six or more stamps will receive 15% off their next reservation at Ruby Creek Resort and a special prize.
