  • 2011 500 Festival Media Guide
    500 Festival, Inc. 2011 IFEA Pinnacle Award Nominations Category #48 – Best Press/Media Kit Entry – 2011 500 Festival Media Guide Purpose/Objective The objective for creating the first 500 Festival Media Guide was to provide insight and instruction to local, state and national media. With the publication of a media guide, media personnel could find and research helpful information regarding the 500 Festival’s nearly 50 events and programs with one click. The Festival wanted to provide the tools necessary for the media to be motivated to cover the 500 Festival and do it accurately. Overall Effectiveness In years prior, media outlets and personnel would have to email or phone the 500 Festival office, specifically the Communications Manager, to find answers to basic information. Simple questions regarding event descriptions, credential access, times and locations, staff member information or program descriptions would have to be answered by 500 Festival staffers. The media guide provided a clear, concise overview of the aforementioned topics. Thus, the Communications Manager was relieved of a number of emails and phone calls, therefore, giving them a chance to focus on other obligations as it relates to event operations. Target Audience The 500 Festival Media Guide was targeted to media outlets and personnel. Whether it was a freelance photographer, a local television station or a national media outlet, the same information was made available for all media contacts. Number of publications, cities, states targeted. The Media Guide is available to media representatives in early spring, to allow reporters enough time to read the information and write pre-event storylines.

  • Lost Parts of Standish Hall Found in America
    Lost parts of Standish Hall found in America By Jim Meehan With thanks to Anne Hurst; Andy Lomax; Dave Thomas; Bill Aldridge, and David Yendley When Henry Standish died in 1920 he had no heirs. He was the last Lord of the Manor. The estate was put up for sale and Standish Hall partly demolished. The once beautiful Manor House on the slopes of the Douglas Valley had the Tudor wing and chapel pulled down and the remains of the house made into two smaller homes. They were demolished in the 1980s when the Coal Board took ownership of the land. For nearly one hundred years people have been trying to solve the mystery of what happened to the parts that were removed in the 1920s. Stories grew in later years that the chapel and Tudor wing had been rebuilt in America. Were these true or was it the valuable interiors that had been shipped across the Atlantic to be reassembled? Now four ancient rooms from the Hall have been tracked down. Three have been found in America and one in England. The Standish name has a prominent part in American history. Myles Standish was the military adviser onboard the Mayflower. He became an important member of the Plymouth Colony who were credited with founding modern America. Although his origins remain unclear there was great interest in anything with a Standish connection when the estate went up for sale. Standish Hall in 1920 – Tudor wing and Chapel on the right The Daily Mail reported in 1922 that fireplaces and oak panelling from the Hall had been sold to Robersons of Knightsbridge.
