“Thank you for supporting Patriots Week 2019,” said Tom Gilmour, Executive Director of Trenton Downtown Association. “We’re asking everyone to consider taking our 2019 Patriots Week Survey. To understand the audience and how Patriots Week might be made better, The Trenton Downtown Association and Dr. Bryon Tyrrell of Stockton University Tourism and Management Studies have put together a survey for visitors to Patriots Week.”
The survey, https://www.surveymonkeyc.om/r/CS2THN8, generally takes less than five minutes to complete.
