Kelley’s Acres Hires New York Marketing Firm to Handle 2005 Events.

Beallsville, PA, May 18, 2005… Kelley’s Acres, a suburban retreat located just outside of Pittsburgh, PA hired New York based marketing firm, Marketing Pros to handle their cook-off and auto show events for 2005. Kelley’s 30 park-like acres boasts a natural amphitheater, the Smalltown Grille and plenty of grounds for picnicking, good food, family fun and and primitive camping.

Each year Kelley’s Acres hosts Country Jam, a cook-off competition combined with an auto show. “This event is gaining more and more momentum each year. As a result, we wanted to bring in experts who could help us leverage our increasing numbers yet maintain the small town integrity we aim for when inviting people onto the property for good fun and entertainment,” says June Kelley, owner of Kelley’s Acres.

“We are excited to work with June Kelley and her team to build a strong brand and memorable event that will attract not only the local people, but visitors from the surrounding Western Pennsylvania area, Ohio and Maryland,” says Karen McFarlane, president of Marketing Pros. “Kelley’s Acres has already started the groundwork by building a successful 4th year event with strong word of mouth and a great reputation. We need only capitalize on that to solidify the brand and turn Country Jam into a regional event with wider reach in year 5 and 6.”

One of the elements they have decided to change is the name of the event. “We see a definite opportunity to turn one event into two separate events for the coming years. However, we do not plan to change too much for 2005, but we do plan some nice surprises,” says June Kelley.

Kelley’s Acres will announce the new name on May 20, 2005. For more information, visit www.kelleysacres.com or call (888) 615.9538 ext 707.
