No Elk Expo in Emporium

Pennsylvania Game Commission Manager Dennis Dusza has notified the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce that the commission has no interest in holding a live drawing for elk license in Cameron County, according to a release from the Chamber.The PA Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau had sponsored the event in Elk County. Citing dismal crowds and a lack of vendors, the tourist promotion bureau notified the Game Commission and vendors that it was not going to host the event this year. According to Cameron County Chamber of Comerce Executive Director Tina Johns Lorson, "I immediately put phone calls into the Game Commission, the county commissioners and our state representatives asking for support to hold the live drawing here."Finally, two weeks later, Dennis Dusza left a message at the chamber that the Game Commission had no intention of hosting a live drawing anywhere but in Harrisburg," she said."He cited the cost of travel and bringing computer equipment plus dwindling crowds as the reason. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. This would have provided visitors a chance to see Cameron County and our businesses including small outdoor stores a chance to show off their products."
