Monson, MA—Thanks to generous support from the Mass Cultural Council, Travelnitch will be hosting Spring into Adventure: A Family Travel Fair on Saturday, June 10 at Silver Bell Farm in Monson. This event is open to the public and it’s free to attend. Travel vendors will be on site to provide information (and inspiration) for families looking to get out and explore locally this summer.

“With help from our friends in the travel community, we are introducing our neighbors to the wonders of Western Mass— and backyard travel,” according to Amanda Renna, Founder and CEO at Travelnitch. The Monson-based nonprofit already has a commitment from local partners like Springfield Museums, Storrowton Village Museum, Treetop Adventures, and Zoar Outdoors, but they remain open to new partnerships. Visit fair.travelnitch.org for more information.

Renna hopes Spring into Adventure will become the organization’s signature event, bringing together local businesses and families who love to travel. “This family travel fair is an opportunity to provide parents with everything they need to plan their summer—from free outdoor activities to family-friendly, rainy-day fun.”
