Cox Partners with TBA for 'Man Cave' Contest at 2009 Homearama

Includes offers for half off ticket price

CHESAPEAKE, Va., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- As a 2009 Homearama signature sponsor, Cox is sponsoring several activities for attendees of Tidewater Builders Association's (TBA) annual event, which will be held at Culpepper Landing, Chesapeake, from Saturday, Oct. 3 through Sunday, Oct. 18.

"Cox is very excited to be the signature sponsor for the 2009 Homearama," said Cox Senior Vice President and General Manager Gary McCollum. "It's a great time to buy a new home and Cox is happy to highlight the superior service opportunities that we can bring to the home. From high-speed broadband options to video programming suited for each room in the home, Cox can be part of these homeowners' telecommunications solutions."

As part of the event, Cox has partnered with DIY Network and Homearama builder T.E. Jones of Vintage Homes to showcase a custom-built, digital man cave. Man caves have become all the rage as the male sanctuaries, often including a specially equipped garage, spare bedroom, media room, den or basement, have gained in popularity over the years. DIY Network's "Man Cave" program features innovative ideas for creating the ultimate man space. Homearama guests will have the opportunity to enter the DIY Network's Man Cave contest throughout the show, as well as one of the many prizes available to entrants, including Blu-Ray players and a big-screen television.

"Attendees will see this unique 'man cave' space -- complete with an outdoor theme and memorabilia -- as well as a dynamic home theater. While there, guests also will have the chance to win prizes provided by Cox and DIY Network. They also can enter the national Man Cave contest for a chance to be chosen for a custom 'man cave' remodeling project," McCollum said.

Cox Communications, in partnership with TBA, also is offering two-for-one admission to anyone presenting a Cox Communications invoice during "Two for Tuesdays" on Tuesday, Oct. 6 and Tuesday, Oct. 13. (For those customers coming alone, with a Cox bill, they too can gain admission for 50% off the regular ticket price of $10 per person.)
