Chamber launches tourism committee 

POTEAU—The Poteau Chamber of Commerce is launching a new tourism committee under the direction of chairman Traci Barnes.

Everyone is invited to be a part of this committee as tourism is very important to Poteau and LeFlore County. As the county has much to offer to tourists year round, the goal is to expand on this and take advantage of any opportunity to promote the area and recruit tourists.

The meeting is Wednesday at 4 p.m. in the chamber boardroom.
