Howe Caverns Launches Postcards for Troops Campaign
Howe Caverns invites schools, church, scouts, veterans’ organizations and businesses interested in sending postcards to members of the military to join with Schoharie County’s landmark attraction as it launches a Postcards for Troops campaign.
Howe Caverns will send the postcards at no charge to those interested in being part of the campaign. The postcards can be sent to military personnel individually or through organizations where they will be put in packages bound for military personnel serving overseas.
Each of the postcards has a photo of Howe Caverns and a special label so the service member may redeem the postcard for a complimentary Traditional Tour of Howe Caverns for himself/herself and one guest. They will be asked for their military identification at the time of redemption.
Those interested in the Postcards for Troops campaign should call Howe Caverns at 518-296-8900 or send an e-mail to fun@howecaverns.com for more information.
Redemption of the postcards for the Traditional Tour is valid through December 31, 2010.
