In Johnson City, TN we celebrated GIS Day 2017 by launching Portal to our workforce. Each year the GIS staff does a survey of City staff to benchmark the influence of the technology and how we can better serve our internal audience. We produced a story map to communicate this year’s announcements. http://arcg.is/2zFV7WA
At the City of Lander Wyoming we held an open house at the City Hall. We had a few people show up, and we gave a demonstration on GIS and how it can help anyone. Wed had give-aways and it was a great day. We are planning to visit the High school after Christmas to do another day long demonstration about GIS and mapping capabilities tracking big horn sheep.

I have been in a primary school teaching kids (3rd grade) to work with maps, get and compare distances.
