GREATER NEW HOPE CHAMBER PRESENTS CONTEST FOR FREE WEEKEND PARKING IN 2010
Beginning on Valentine’s Day, Saturday, February 14, The Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce -
in conjunction with New Hope Borough Council, First National Bank & Trust Company of Newtown
and George E. Michael & Co, Inc./Union Square, L.P. - sponsors a contest encouraging visitation
to New Hope’s monthly “Second Saturdays” events. One grand prize winner receives free weekend
parking for the entire year at Union Square in 2010 (after 6:00 p.m. on Friday and all day Saturday
and Sunday).
During each “Second Saturday” celebration from February through November 2009, one lucky visitor
to New Hope wins a “Golden Ticket.” This ticket offers its winner a chance to be placed in a drawing
for the free weekend parking. The ten ticket holders in 2009 also receive a $10.00 roll of quarters
from First National Bank & Trust Co. of Newtown, a complimentary dinner at Marsha Brown Creole
Kitchen and shopping discounts at Christmas Past. The drawing for the grand prize winner takes
place at the Holiday Kick-Off and Tree Lighting on November 29, 2009 at The Logan Inn.
“Everybody needs a gimmick!” states Louis Licitra, Chamber President. “This is our way to
make New Hope an even more exciting destination and provide someone with a chance to have free
parking for a year. ‘Second Saturdays’ in New Hope has been an increasingly popular event with
even more fun yet to come.”
The Chamber Board will secretly distribute ten tickets to various New Hope merchants.
Upon processing a purchase at a designated time during each “Second Saturday,” the merchant
will award one customer with the “Golden Ticket.”
The contest is open to all visitors and shoppers. The ticket holders and grand prize
winner must allow their name and image to be used in contest promotion. New Hope business
owners as well as their employees and families; Borough officials, Borough employees and
families; and Chamber Board members, Chamber employees and families may not be awarded winning tickets. |
