COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — The Columbus-Lowndes Visitors Bureau (CVB) hopes to draw people’s attention when Southern Living readers get their latest edition.

The Golden Triangle is featured in a 16-page spread in Southern Living.

Local retailers chipped in, and CVB Director Nancy Carpenter said it’s a great way to reach potential visitors.

“This exposure is beyond what we expected it to be, and you can’t purchase this kind of advertising,” Carpenter said. “So, when someone thinks so highly of you city and your county, you really need to take advantage of it.”

The magazine insert showcases fall to spring events in the Columbus area.

It also features restaurants, boutiques, festivals and a local hospital.
