HANNIBAL, MO. -- The following is a press release from the City of Hannibal, Missouri:

Judy and Norm Reagan have been opening their doors for guests to Hannibal from around the world for over ten years.  Now they are set to welcome even more guest after being featured in the June/July issue of “Country” magazine. 

The magazine, which boasts a one million subscriber base, features five full pages on Reagan’s Queen Anne Bed & Breakfast in Hannibal.  Not only do readers learn about Hannibal and the story behind this award-winning B&B, but you’ll find six of Judy’s prized recipes.  Beau Hicks, Executive Director of the Hannibal Convention and Visitors Bureau says this kind of advertising can’t be bought. “This is pure as the driven snow…I think for many locals Reagan’s is an unknown treasure, but to anyone who’s stayed or enjoyed Judy and Norms breakfast…well it’s worth five pages of raving!”  

Reagan’s Queen Anne Bed & Breakfast has previously enjoyed the 2008 honor of being named one of the Top Ten Inns in North America along with numerous accolades from travel journalists around the world.  Hicks says the CVB would like to congratulate the Reagan’s on this honor but points out that with the national exposure it’s really the local economy that benefits.  “I would invite locals to book a get-a-way right here in Hannibal and experience this treasure that we are so lucky to have here in Mark Twain’s hometown.”  Hicks continues, “This is the type of advertising that money just can’t buy and our B&B owners just continue to blow me away with their efforts and results.”
