Do you own or operate a business within the Blackhawk Waterways region (Carroll, Lee, Ogle or Whiteside county) that could benefit from being listed within this website’s Online Directory? Or, do you organize or stage a special event (e.g., nature walk, county fair, art exhibition, antique fair, etc.) that could benefit from being listed on this website’s Calendar of Events?

It is the purpose and mission of Blackhawk Waterways Convention and Visitors Bureau to promote and market the four-county region as a tourism destination, and this website is just one of our tools to reach our audience and communicate the many great places, experiences and events that are here. So, if your business or event could benefit from reaching our audience, we’d love to help you by including your business or special event on this website! Best of all, listing your business or event with us won’t cost you anything but a few minutes of your time, yet, the exposure you can receive can be tremendous!

Begin by registering with the website — it only takes a few moments — then, take the online tutorial to learn how to get your information onto our website, and how to manage/update your listing(s). The process itself is really quite simple! Certainly, call us at 815-946-2108, or email us, if you have any questions or need some help along the way!
