A Hometown Hero is a person who is a resident of the Saratoga area who encourages or influences a group to hold its event in Saratoga. There is so much to do, see and experience in Saratoga Springs - why plan to host your event elsewhere when Saratoga Springs is your ideal destination?

Saratoga is not only a unique and magical convention destination, but it is close to many Northeast regions. Just 3 hours from Boston, Montreal and New York City, and only a short drive from Albany - this year round, resort destination has it all! Combining outstanding attractions, retailers and restaurants - group members have something fun to do during all four Saratoga seasons! For more group information please contact Marie Moynihan or Heather McElhiney.
