Someday soon, you'll be watching a
program on Animal Planet, American
Movie Classics (AMC) or the Discovery
Channel and a commercial break will
offer scenes'bf golfers at the Alderbrook
Golf Coursd, ~)oaters on Lake Limerick,
and off-road vehicle enthusiasts roaring
................ through the Tahuya State Forest. The
commercials will culminate with the
catchphrase, "Remember Adventure?

sioners recently tasked the Shelton Ma-
son County Chamber of Commerce with

The chamber is seeking $65,000 from
lodging taxes collected by the county to
air commercials on Animal Planet, the
Discovery Channel and American Movie
