Marla Chancey was born in Bradenton Florida. Her mother is from Citrus County and her father from Desoto County. Marla stayed with her dad on the Homosassa River during the summers starting around 1975. "Citrus County has always felt like home to me, every time I left to go back to school up north it broke my heart. So when I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Corporate Communications degree in 1991 I packed my car and headed for paradise."

Marla says that the unique recreational opportunities without all the crowds and all the big ticket theme parks or pricey accommodations are what set Citrus County apart from other vacation destinations. When Marla is not promoting and supporting Citrus County Tourism, you can find her fishing the flats and riding the area bike trails.

The best part about working at the Visitors and Convention Bureau? "The fact that I get to learn my county inside and out and open others eyes to how fantastic our little big town is."

Karen Franklin discovered Citrus County during her family’s vacation trips to Florida. "The beautiful nature coast with its friendly people offered a home where we were on vacation every day."

Karen says Citrus County is unique because it offers an uncluttered and unspoiled area to enjoy. "This is a place where people respect wildlife and have created sanctuaries to protect it." Aside from working at the Visitor’s Bureau, Karen enjoys volunteering at the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park and being active in the Citrus County Genealogical Society.
