To the Editor:

On behalf of the Helderberg Hilltowns Association, I would like to thank all of the people who participated in the Discover the Hilltowns: Farms and Artisans Tour this past weekend.

Our hosts provided a wide variety of fun and fascinating destinations, our local libraries and other public places provided convenient distribution points for the tour maps, and a great many people and publications helped spread the word.

We especially appreciate the patronage of our visitors who took the opportunity to drive into the Hilltowns to discover and enjoy the many fine offerings of this tour.  Thanks to all who contributed to its success!
