HELP MSNBC PROMOTE DENVER DURING THE DNC!

MSNBC is asking all office buildings and residential apartments that would be visible behind Union Station (looking east) to leave their lights on until midnight on August 25-28.  MSNBC will be broadcasting live until midnight Mountain Standard Time with the city skyline as a backdrop and they want the city to look as exciting as possible.

If your office building, loft or business looks west and would be visible from Union Station area, please program your lights to stay on until midnight during the Convention.

For information, contact Rich Grant at (303) 571-9450.

CALLING ALL MASCOTS!

Sports teams, cultural organizations, ski areas…everyone with mascots should be sure to schedule them to be in the crowds at the MSNBC set. MSNBC is inviting anyone in the area to come down and be in the crowd -- think of a scene similar to the Plaza at Rockefeller Center for the TODAY Show -- a great fun atmosphere full of energy. There will also be great “give-aways” for people in the audience.  Great chance to get national exposure during the convention.
