A large share of tourists into Shelbyville find their way to the city thanks to the visitor guides placed in businesses, rest areas, and other locations.  The Shelbyville Office of Tourism creates the guides and spreads them far and wide, even into neighboring states.  Office leadership works with businesses to offer copies of the guides and to bring in their advertisements to show as much as possible of what Shelbyville has to offer.

The Shelbyville Office of Tourism is located at 315 East Main Street between the courthouse and the railroad tracks.  They are open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Director Freddie Fry says the guides, along with flyers for specific events and organizations – are available at their headquarters.

Fry adds that some performers at local events have done their part to spread the guide to others.

The guide features a prominent centerfold all about Lake Shelbyville.  The Office of Tourism develops the centerfold and the full guide in-house.

Businesses who would like to offer the guides to their patrons and/or advertise themselves in the guides can reach out to the Office of Tourism.
