HIDEAWAY IN ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS
Escape from Wisconsin . . . or Indiana . . . or Iowa . . . or . . .

Features Rockford's Cheap Trick Rocker Rick Nielsen Seeking a Hideaway;

www.hideawayinrockford.com launched to promote runaway rates 

 

Rockford and its landmark Clock Tower Resort have long been known as a great place to hideaway. Recently, legislators from neighboring states have also discovered Rockford's well-known hospitality, convenient location and relaxing atmosphere for their own getaways.

 

Now, whether you're a state senator or not, you can come to Rockford to explore "hideaway hotspots" and take advantage of "runaway rates" at local hotels. Rockford's own Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen has jumped on the bandwagon and developed a YouTube video about how when troubles get him down you can find him "hiding away in Rockford." Rick's video is at   www.youtube.com/gorockfordregion.

"We want folks to come to
Rockford for their own legislation vacation. Rockford is full of opportunity to do some collective bargaining at our locally owned stores and shops," said John Groh, President/CEO of the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB), the city's tourism office.  

 

RACVB emerged from the backroom having negotiated a variety of hideaway packages and pricing for visitors on the lam to take full advantage of; for example, visitors might want to go under water along with their state budget at Rockford's huge indoor water park at the Clock Tower Resort or say "What the Puck!" when they go to a Rockford IceHogs hockey game.
