Tourism Still Suffering After the Red Hen Denied Sanders

2018-09-04

[USNEWS] A small town in Virginia is trying to recover its image after The Red Hen restaurant famously refused to serve President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

The Roanoke Times reported Sunday that a regional tourism board is pulling together emergency funds to boost its digital marketing campaign.

Normally that money is saved. But officials agreed the region is in desperate need of positive coverage.

The tourism board serves Lexington, where The Red Hen is located, and other communities that are about three hours from Washington.

The Red Hen incident in June prompted thousands of a calls and emails to the tourism office. They're still coming in. The office received a letter on Thursday from a Georgia family that wrote to say it would never return because of what happened.

#3 It's pretty country down there, Mike, (spent a lot of time in Hot Springs myself) but it's completely a vassal state to the beltway area. There's pretty country nearby in Kentucky and North Carolina too but the same problem applies though to a slightly lesser extent.

#1 ...That is the part of VA I want so very much to retire to - and it is solidly conservative. A shame she managed to hurt so many other people - but hey, she Stuck It To The Man(TM), didn't she?
