The Ross-Chillicothe Convention and Visitors Bureau is seeking nominations for their annual Pineapple Awards and Tourism Banquet. The event takes place during National Tourism Week this April.
Each year, the Bureau recognizes the best of the best in local hospitality.
Pictured left to right, Ross-Chillicothe Conventions and Visitors Bureau’s Gene Betts, Tourism Assistant and Executive Director Melody Young discuss the upcoming Tourism Banquet and Pineapple Awards on #LitterMediaLIVE-Special Edition. CLICK THE PHOTO TO WATCH.
As part of the banquet, Pineapple Awards are given in the categories of Volunteer of the Year, Front Line Associate of the Year, Behind the Scenes Associate of the Year and Director/Inn Keeper of the Year. The Bureau also bestows the honor of Grand Pineapple Award to a group or individual that collaborates with the Bureau and demonstrates a strong commitment to increasing awareness and the success of tourism in Ross County.
During the broadcast of #LitterMediaLIVE-Special Edition, Young said anyone can fill out a nomination form. “If you go into a store and someone’s given you extra great service, take time to nominate them… peer t- peer, customer to employee, employee to employee.”
The Bureau selected the pineapple to represent its awards due to its universal symbolism of hospitality. The pineapple received its meaning in the days of early American colonies where, upon return from seas, captains would spear a pineapple and display it on a fence post outside his home to let friends know of his safe return and as an invitation for them to visit.
Nominations into the Pineapple Awards are now open and nomination forms can be downloaded from the Bureau’s website CLICK HERE. All nominations will need to be received by the Bureau no later than April 15, 2022 to be considered.
