The staffers that are working to bring in groups to the Fox Cities Exhibition Center are reaching out to organizations in hopes of hosting them.
So far, they’re exceeding expectations for the number of hotel rooms filled through events in downtown Appleton. The Red Lion Hotel Paper Valley is running the facility.
Linda Garvey is the general manager. She says they’ve done marketing in areas like Madison to create demand in those areas.
