How do we market a new community attraction. I think we should have an open communty day. Open houses for business, schools, garage sales, farmers market, churches, and homes for sale. One big advertising week which would include two weekends and weekly activities as a tourist attraction. Street vendors of local business in Mokena could also be located in various areas. Publish map of community members to welcome others to get to know our commmunity, its businesses and job opportunities, school and church programs and homes for sale along with garage sales and their schedule.
