About Us
Welcome, from the Clay County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CCCVB). The CCCVB became a reality on June 8, 2011. It was a vision of several city and county officials. The project was jointly funded by the City of Spencer and Clay County. The CCCVB is under the umbrella of the Spencer Chamber of Commerce and directed by the Tourism Director. The CCCVB advisory committee is made up of eight members, of the city and county, that meets with the Tourism Director monthly.
The CCCVB was formed as a way to promote and develop the entire county, its communities, and the rural areas. Tourism is a direct form of economic development, with the hope that Clay County may capture a share of regional and national convention business, as well as, showcase the natural beauty and attractions Clay County has to offer.
A major partner in the development of the CCCVB was the Parker Historical Society and their plans to expand on 7 Grand Avenue, to be known as the Clay County Heritage Center. As the plans were developed, the Parker Board was approached with the idea that the home of the CCCVB and Tourism Director would be within the Heritage Center. Until the Heritage Center is constructed, the Tourism Director is housed at the Spencer Chamber of Commerce's office.
The creation of the CCCVB has opened many doors for Clay County and their visitors. Clay is a true hidden treasure, with much to showcase to potential visitors. We invite you to come and experience the Clay journey that awaits you!
Whether it is a lifetime or just a day, we hope you will: Explore, Stay, Do Clay!
Yours Truly,
The Clay County Convention & Visitors Bureau
