Hello everyone! I hope you all had a most wonderful Thanksgiving and that you are now enjoying some relaxation for the next few days. 🙂

I was visiting with my friend, Jeff Hendricks, this past week while we were waiting for the next client to arrive for his photo shoot and he told me about this awesome app! Jeff works for the Decatur Convention and Visitors Bureau in Decatur, IL and he’s in charge of scheduling events in Decatur and prepping for all kinds of fun stuff. Well one of the things he did was to have this awesome app created called Decatur CVB by Victory Enterprises!

The Decatur Area Visitor’s Bureau Mobile App provides visitors to Decatur (or locals) with information regarding businesses, dining options, and activities in the Decatur area. The app has categories like Dining, Bakeries, Nightlife/Sports Bars, & Sites and Attractions. So say you want to go out to each with a group of friends, but don’t know where you want to go. You can just click on Dining and then decide if you want a nice restaurant, casual, pizza or ethnic and the app will give you a list of all the restaurants in that category with a map and directions and the phone number to call ahead.

It’s also got different places you can visit – like the Millikin Homestead, Macon Speedway, Scovill Zoo, The Avon, The Madden Arts Center, Mari-Mann Herb Garden, and many many more! It’s also cool to not that none of these businesses paid to be on the app. There’s no advertising or pop ups or ulterior motives. It’s all about helping visitors and locals find things to do here in the area. Which I think is awesome!

So if you have an iPhone or a Droid – I’d love for you to check it out! Who knows – you may find yourself using it quite a lot!

Well I hope you all are having a very safe Black Friday. I’ve got a viewing session and shoot today but outside of that – I’ll be avoiding the craziness of the Black Friday day! Have a great weekend!
