JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Missouri is loaded with Hidden Treasures; unique places and attractions, off the beaten path, just waiting to become the next big thing. The Missouri Division of Tourism and VisitMO.com think these places are already big things, so they want to familiarize you with some of these jewels—and, they're giving away some stupendous getaway packages to prove it . . . no purchase necessary.

Well, you have some treats in store.
Oh, and let's not forget the "giving away" part. You can register to win—remember, no purchase required to win—Missouri getaway packages valued at $150-$450; plus, the grand prize, a SIMON® Gift card valued at $500 compliments of Battlefield Mall and Independence Center. Still interested?
