Despite ongoing COVID-19 concerns, Visit Potter-Tioga has been diligent in ensuring safety throughout both Counties.

"We're extremely cognizant of health guidelines, and have gone above and beyond to address protocols across the region to make sure those looking forward to upcoming fall visits can do so with peace of mind," explained Hanson.
