Watch: Chamber Releases Tourism Promo Video

Titled "Arcadia's Got it All," the video highlights Arcadia's famous attractions, from the race track and the Arboretum to the Angeles National Forest and the Festival of Bands.

The Arcadia Chamber of Commerce has unveiled a 3 1/2 minute video designed to draw tourists and potential residents to the city.

"Arcadia's got it all, in the middle of it all," the voice-over beckons.

The video touts Arcadia's most famous attractions, from the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Gardens to Santa Anita Park to the Angeles National Forest and the Arcadia Festival of Bands.

"It was fun writing, filming and editing the video...in my 'spare time' over the course of several months," Arcadia Chamber of Commerce President Scott Hettrick said. "The only trick was trying to pack most of Arcadia’s virtues into 3 1/2 minutes."

A 30-second version of the video aired on ESPN, TBS and other networks during March Madness.
