The Washington County Tourism Promotion Agency floated its new slogan, “Share The Energy” Wednesday on the fore section of a 15-foot canoe at the Field & Stream Store in South Strabane Township, anchoring the county’s many historic, outdoor and leisure attractions with its standing as a major energy center in the Northeast.

While the official unveiling in the Old Mill shopping complex was its first public view, the promotional statement will have its maiden voyage Saturday in the county’s first major event of the 2015 tourism season — the annual Marianna Canoe Race.

The event, sponsored by the Marianna Outdoorsman Association, attracts more than 3,000 people each year to Ten Mile Creek in Marianna.
