Bass Pro Shops Makes 3-Year Commitment as Title Sponsor of Media Day at the Range
April 14, 2008 (Centreville, VA) – CMG Marketing & Events and Triple Curl PR are pleased to announce that this year’s sponsor Bass Pro Shops has committed to be title sponsor of Media Day at the Range for the next three years. The fourth annual Media Day at the Range, held the day before SHOT Show, will be on Wednesday, January 14, 2009. The event will be held at the Orange County Sheriff’s Range in Orlando, Florida. As in the past, this event will give the entire outdoor journalist community the opportunity to handle and shoot new products from many of the industry’s leading manufacturers, non-profit and conservation groups. This year the event will once again benefit many youth shooting organizations including the Orange County 4-H Shooting Sports.
"We were very happy with the results of our sponsorship at this year’s show and the opportunity it gave us to communicate with so many quality outdoor writers,” commented Bass Pro Shops Brand Specialist Brent Lawrence. “Our company also feels it is tremendously important to teach future generations about the shooting sports, so the fact that this also benefits youth shooting organizations is a big bonus to us.”
At Media Day 2008, nearly 400 outdoor writers attended this daylong event testing product from more than 50 manufacturers. It is anticipated that 2009 attendance will be attended by more journalists than ever and more than 60 manufactures are expected to exhibit.
"We could not be more pleased with the commitment that Bass Pro Shops is making to this event,” says Cathy Williams and Cory Cannon, co-organizers of Media Day. “This long-term agreement not only shows Bass Pro Shops commitment to this industry, but to the youth across the country that are the cornerstone of this industry in the years to come” stated Ms. Williams.
