Syracuse, New York – On November 4, 2010, Hickory Hill Family Camping Resort received the 2010 Marketing Award for Best Mailer Piece during the 47th Annual Conference and Trade Show of Campground Owners of New York (CONY), held at the Holiday Inn Syracuse/Liverpool Airport Hotel. This is the third year in a row Hickory Hill Family Camping Resort has won this award. The campground is located in Bath, NY, in the Finger Lakes region.

The winning design, entitled “2010 Vacation Guide: Memories that Last a Lifetime,” was chosen as the top mailer piece by an independent panel of judges. All members of CONY were invited to submit their mailer pieces for judging.

Other marketing award categories recognized during the CONY Conference included Website Design and Simple Brochure Design.

According to Donald G. Bennett, Jr., CONY President and CEO, the marketing awards honor members for their self-promotion activities, and encourage improvements in marketing efforts among the CONY membership.

“The effort that our campgrounds and RV parks put into the design work on their brochures and websites continues to amaze me year after year,” said Mr. Bennett. “This competition is an opportunity for our members and their designers to show off a little in front of their peers, and maybe encourage others to re-think their own marketing pieces.”

Rosemary Curtis, Operations Manager and Certified Park Operator for Hickory Hill Family Camping Resort, accepted a plaque for the campground from CONY Board Chairman Scott Sherwood at the annual Conference banquet.

Campground Owners of New York is an association dedicated to the promotion, growth, improvement and development of privately owned campgrounds in New York State.
