Pacific and Clatsop Counties will have local attractions offering special admission discounts for “local tourists.” Called Hometown Tourism Day, this chance for locals to know more about the historical and visitor oriented destinations will be held on Friday, November 11 (Veterans Day).

Several local sites are working together to offer free or reduced admissions or special offers on this day to encourage their neighbors to come and see what they have to offer.  Here is a list of the special activities available this sixth annual Hometown Tourism Day.
