Reply To: Sunday get together at Broadway

[Terry Cornelius]

Now that I think about it…I seem to recall an explanation that the management of Broadway at the Beach refused to participate in a promoted event for Sunday. If so, cannot blame the Tournament Committee for not going ahead. It’s a shame that local businesses cannot see the benefit of having 3,000 to 5,000 folks (with families) enticed to visit your establishments. I once wrote a letter to the Pelicans and the Carolina Coastal league offices suggesting that it would be a no-brainer to schedule the Pelicans for a homestand each year during the World Am and to put ticket or food/ drink discounts in our goody bags. Crickets. I don’t even have a marketing degree and I can see the missed opportunities to boost revenues.
