Chamber Releases 2020 Discover® Hanover Magazine We're starting off the new year with a bang—and a brand-new timeline for our annual Discover Hanover® Magazine! Previously published during the month of May, our magazine is shaking things up a bit for 2020. Thanks to a grant from Explore York, York County’s Official Tourist Promotion Agency, we're happy to announce that our 2020 issue will be distributed January through December, making this our first full year of distribution! To commemorate this collaboration, we put together a feature article with our county's new "have it made here" brand in mind, "Making History." This is one of our favorite articles to-date, as we find Hanover's innovative history to be so fascinating! Founded in 1763, Hanover has a vibrant past filled with commerce, and we're eager to share it. Pick up your copy at the chamber and learn about our world-famous creations as well as the industry leaders who call Hanover home. The 2020 cover photo was taken by one of our former interns and Hanover High School graduate, Sierra Stevens. Sierra snapped this shot in Center Square last year on a crisp spring day. Flowers were just beginning to bloom all around town, with the promise of summer—and fun summer events—just around the corner. Notice the architecture; isn't it beautiful? Our downtown houses many eye-catching buildings, several of which are currently undergoing revitalization. Learn more about these projects to preserve history in our downtown highlight article, "Healing the Heart of Hanover." Looking for a quick read? Read our calendar of events for a complete listing of all popular community events in 2020. Discover Hanover® Magazine is produced in cooperation with members of the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce, Explore York, and the community. Throughout the year, Discover Hanover® will be distributed in 40,000 copies throughout five states. Locally, the magazine is distributed by school districts, real estate agents, and tourist attractions. Interested in advertising in our 2021 issue?
