Farm Technology Days was likely a major factor in a big jump in tourism spending in Clark County last year.The state Department of Tourism released their annual report this week. It shows visitors to Clark County spent over $36-million in 2005 ? a jump of nearly 14-percent.
Experts say the three-day Farm Technology Days farms show and the increasing popularity of ATVing led to the increase.
Still, Clark County ranks toward the bottom of the list of tourist counties. The Department of Tourism ranks Clark County 61st out of the state's 72 counties.
