The Wedding Road Show and Something Borrowed; Something BlueClaws is back for a third year!

March 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Spring signals the start of two very important seasons in our country, wedding and baseball; what perfect way to welcome future brides and grooms to Southern Ocean County than to present Wedding Road Show attendees with vouchers for a Lakewood Blue Claws game. "Brides love this idea, we have been offering as part of our Wedding Road Show promotion for three years, states Lori Pepenella, Destination Marketing Director for the LBI Region DMO which is housed in the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, "They can offer the tickets for their groom not only to go enjoy the game with the bride, but to bond with some other family members or the bridal party." The Lakewood Blue Claws are supplying vouchers for brides who register for the Wedding Road show with an offer that if they would like more tickets to call the BlueClaw ticket office and they will arrange that for them.

This partnership is a perfect example of how tourism can be tied together throughout Ocean County, The Lakewood BlueClaws is an asset to have on board with this, it introduces their fans to Long Beach Island Region's efforts and allows the BlueClaw organization to be included in a regional showcase that has attracted national attention.
The Wedding Road Show taking place throughout the Long Beach Island Region on Sunday April 1o, 2011 has attracted brides locally and from across the country. This complimentary self guided tour is a series of open houses that features forty chamber members who represent venues, shops and services that are directly tied to the wedding industry. There will be three registration points for brides to begin their day. The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce site, which will be headquarters for the media sponsors, The Tuckerton Seaport and The Holiday Inn in Manahawkin will be handing the BlueClaw Vouchers  for the May 1 one o'clock game upon bride's arrival.

All registration points will all be ready to welcome brides and their entourages at 9:30 am on April 10. The brides will receive detailed maps and programs that will allow them to create their own touring schedule until 4 pm. Every registered stop the bride visits she will acquire a signature from the vendors located there, the more signatures she receives the entries she will have for the grand prize, The Lighthouse Wedding Grand Giveway, which is a customized 2012 wedding for up to 80. valued at over $17,000.
