Historic St. Mary\u2019s City wins Best Use of Social Media award<\/strong>
\nHistoric St. Mary\u2019s City was awarded \u201cBest Use of Social Media\u201d at the 41st Annual Maryland Tourism and Travel Summit<\/em><\/p>\n

Over 250 tourism professionals gathered to bestow awards and celebrate an outstanding year throughout the state of Maryland and tourism industry. Maryland tourism shows resiliency and honors award recipients from counties across the state, including Howard, Anne Arundel, Annapolis, Washington, Talbot, Charles, Garrett, and St. Mary\u2019s County.<\/p>\n

The 41st Annual Maryland Travel & Tourism Summit (MTTS) concluded on November 16, 2022, at the Ocean City Fontainebleau Resort in Ocean City, Maryland. Sponsored and managed by the Maryland Tourism Coalition (MTC), the summit brings together hundreds of public sector leaders in the hospitality industry each year to network and learn new strategies to benefit tourism businesses and the whole state of Maryland.<\/p>\n

As part of the informative, three-day event, annual tourism awards were presented to many deserving recipients, including Historic St. Mary\u2019s City (HSMC). The outdoor living
\nhistory museum was awarded \u201cBest Use of Social Media\u201d for their \u201cLarry of St. Mary’s\u201d posts from 2021.<\/p>\n

In December 2021, HSMC launched \u201cLarry of St. Mary\u2019s\u201d on social media (Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter). Using \u201cElf on a Shelf\u201d as inspiration, HSMC staff put together a corn husk doll during a make-and-take opportunity for guests. With a little brown hat, leather pants, and blue shift, the doll echoes the costume of some seen on-site during
\nhours of operation.<\/p>\n

Said Sharol Yeatman, HSMC External Relations Manager, \u201cOur little Larry was able to entertain, teach, and bridge the gap to help make the museum relevant to today\u2019s
\naudience as well as tomorrow\u2019s visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n
