Please check your online ad to make sure this is included.

Truckee Tourism Business Improvement District (TTBID) Update
(Provided by the Truckee Chamber of Commerce.)At press time for the last TOT Newsletter, the TTBID Committee was considering three new shoulder season events for visitors and our community to enjoy.
Two clear winners met Committee criteria and we are now excited to announce the first inaugural Truckee Craw Thaw (TruckeeCrawThaw.com), a FREE New Orleans-inspired music event entirely produced by Truckee locals, as well as, the Sagan Fondo (SaganFondo.com), a world-class gravel / dirt bike event and festival. Both event websites include a page for discounts on Truckee lodging. Any assessed property in Truckee Town limits can be listed on the lodging discount page, contingent upon providing a promo code with a discounted offer that links to, and works properly, on a booking engine. Contact [email protected].
*The Truckee Tourism Business Improvement District (TTBID) Committee is comprised of two property managers, two national brand hoteliers (Hampton and Best Western), one boutique lodge owner, one nightly rental homeowner and a Chamber of Commerce Board member who is a corporate organizational consultant. This Committee oversees how the TTBID assessment is spent to drive shoulder season lodging.
