Bocce Rolls into Times Square

Aug. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- BocceNation.com Brings Bocce to Times Square

(New York, NY) --In conjunction with the New York City International Film Festival, BocceNation.com created a unique bocce experience in the heart of New York City’s Times Square.  

BocceNation.com constructed three portable bocce courts on lush ForeverLawn turf – two for regular bocce play and a third for BocceNation.com’s unique Target Bocce™, bocce game.  

For four straight days, crowds lined up for Target Bocce™ with over 20,000 people taking part. Daily winners received complimentary Bocce-in-a-Bag™ bocce kits.  Thousands more people from dozens of countries and across the United States, played 10 minute bocce matches organized by BocceNation.com’s multi-lingual staff.  

These matches paired families, individuals and teams from every different age, demographic and country as they discovered, learned and competed in bocce matches in the center of Times Square.

“This was an incredible opportunity for us to offer free bocce to people of all ages, from all corners of the world.  The Times Square crowds were astonishing and bocce was a big success for everyone. We proved once again that bocce brings people together – no matter the venue.” according to BocceNation.com president, John Lehmann.

BocceNation.com, the nation’s premier supplier of premium bocce products and programming, features Bocce-in-a-Bag, BocceNation.com’s revolutionary bocce kit that includes everything you need to play bocce now along with innovative bocce activities and the world’ s most popular bocce game – Playscreen’s “Bocce-Ball” free iPhone app.  

BocceNation.com also organizes bocce league play through American Bocce League, founded National Bocce Day and creates special bocce event programming for events, charities and schools.

The New York City International Film Festival (NYCIFF) is a week-long film festival highlighted by its free public screenings in the heart of Times Square.  This year’s film festival showcased 220 films from 27 countries.  Hosted by the Times Square Alliance, the NYCIFF sponsors included ForeverLawn, the turf industry innovator and leader, The New York Lottery and Vermont’s Cabot Creamery who distributed samples of their award winning cheese.

The NYCIFF in Times Square experienced packed crowds, award winning movies and for the first-time free BocceNation.com bocce play in Times Square.
