Did you know the Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce has a whole second half to its name?

The Visitors Bureau part is exactly what it sounds like — the work of giving people a reason to come to Albion, and a reason to stay a while once they're here.

Which is why we're glad to have them behind Run Albion. Three times a year we bring people across the Albion College campus, through our historic downtown, and into the middle of Festival of the Forks. On foot, at a pace where you actually notice the buildings you're running past.

Thank you to the Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau for supporting an event that shows people what the rest of us already know about this town.

Do you have an eye for a good story and a phone that's always ready to shoot?

We're hiring a part-time Social Media Content Creator to help tell the story of downtown Albion -- across a bakery and deli, retail shops, a manufacturing company, real estate, and more. Every day looks a little different, and that's the point.

20 hours a week to start. Room to grow. Equipment provided. Located in Albion, Michigan.
