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. The longevity of the media coverage continues through mid-June, a couple of weeks after our event season has ended. Types of Mediums used for Promotion The Media Guide was created and posted online to the 500 Festival website and placed on the “Media Center” page. The benefit of the online Media Guide was that anyone looking for up-to-date information on the 500 Festival could find it there, whether or not they worked for a media outlet. An email was sent to all state media indicating the Media Guide was available on the website, with a link provided. Measurable Results: The number of print articles in 2011 was up more than 4% compared to 2010. The circulation of those articles increased more than 9% over 2010. Column inches increased by 49%, meaning larger articles were written in 2011. Areas of significant improvement include Education Program (95% increase), Breakfast at the Brickyard (50% increase), Training Series (45% increase) and Mini-Marathon (12% increase). This is the first year that we specifically pitched and tracked online media coverage. For example, online coverage would include when the Indianapolis Star posts an article on their website. One benefit of targeting online publications is to reach a larger audience. The number of TV mentions in 2011 was up 3% compared to 2010. We targeted more than 350 publications statewide. Please see media spreadsheet in Supporting Materials section. Supporting Question: What did you do to update/change this promotion from the year before? Were your updates/changes successful? Please provide measureable results/examples. This is the second year that we have created an electronic media Guide. As the previous year, events and programs were described in the Media Guide, Board Members were introduced, maps were provided for the event locations, a mission statement was included and a staff directory was even listed. The Media Guide was posted online to allow anyone the opportunity to learn more about the 500 Festival. The media were a click away from being more informed on the 500 Festival, in the convenience of their own homes or offices, providing ease of participation. The placement of the Media Guide online eliminated potential printing and shipping costs. For this year, we incorporated many of the details that we still received phone calls about the previous year. We expanded the media credentialing details to help eliminate potential questions. We updated all design and photography to reflect up-to-date experiences with the 500 Festival. We added information on the 500 Festival Corporate Member program, the 500 Festival Legacy Art Project and highlighted what was new for each 500 Festival event or program. 1 2011 Media Guide 2011 Media Guide Outline Who We Are • Introduction • Mission • Staff & Interns • Board of Directors • Foundation • Festival History Media Information • Media Contact Information • Credential Guidelines • Social Media • Website Information • Event Schedule Why We Do It • Community, Economic Impact, Volunteerism, Participation and Business Networking Programs • Volunteer Program 2 • Education Program • Corporate Member Program • Princess Program • 500 Festival Legacy Art Project • Internship Program Events • Training Series • Kick-off to May • Mini-Marathon Expo • Mini-Marathon • 5K • Kids’ Day • Rookie Run • Breakfast at the Brickyard • Community Day • Memorial Service • Character Breakfast • Parade • Snakepit Ball Maps 2011 Media Guide Introduction Few festivals across the nation can boast they’ve helped shape of life for its citizens and their guests.

    WELCOME BACK TO BAKU Dear friends, On behalf of Baku City Circuit, please let me welcome you to the third successive Formula 1 race weekend in Azerbaijan. Last year’s race in Baku was widely recognised as the most exciting and dramatic race of the year – if not the decade – by members of the media, teams, drivers and the global F1 fanbase alike. It truly was a race that had it all culminating in the most unexpected podium line up in many years. The fact that this historic race occurred under our new event title as the FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX filled us with an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction for a job well done. This year we once again welcome the world to Baku at the slightly earlier date of late April to bear witness to the awe-inspiring sight of F1 cars negotiating one of the fastest and most testing circuits in Formula 1. Baku City Circuit’s winding, narrow sequences, 90-degree turns and high-speed straights - all set against the breath- taking backdrop of Baku’s UNESCO-protected old city, magnificent skylines and beautiful seaside promenade - have proven to be a major challenge to the current F1 grid, resulting in last year’s spectacular outcome and many on-track altercations. We are very confident of a similar explosion of drama, speed and bravery occurring once again for the 2018 edition. Furthermore, the off-track entertainment will be bigger and better than ever before with world-class music, visual and conceptual artists once again performing all along the specially constructed Fan Zone all weekend.

    This year will mark the Firestone brand’s 67th Indy 500 victory. Firestone has more Indy 500 wins than all other tire manufacturers combined. CAN HINCH GO FROM THE POLE TO VICTORY LANE: James Hinchcliffe wrote the latest chapter of his comeback story when he scored the pole for the 100th Indianapolis 500 last weekend. History will be on his side this weekend as the Indy 500 pole has gone on to win the race 20 times. Forty-three times, the winner has come from the front row, the last time in 2010 with Dario Franchitti. Will Hinch covert his Verizon P1 Award into the Borg-Warner Trophy? Chris Jones/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS MONTH: IT’S NOT WHERE YOU START…: The last four Indianapolis 500 winners have started outside the top 10, including Juan Pablo Montoya, who came from 15th to win in 2015. With depth throughout the 33-car field for the Indy 500, including former winners Montoya, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan starting from the fifth row or further back, can another star drive through the field to win the race? SECOND-GENERATION STARS HOPE TO ADD TO FAMILY LEGACY: The latest generation from two of open-wheel racing’s most familiar families comes to Indianapolis in hopes of adding to the family legacy. Marco Andretti—the grandson of 1969 winner Mario Andretti and son of Michael Andretti—has finished in the top three at Indy three times in his nine previous starts. He hopes to give his father’s team its fourth Indianapolis 500 win.

Page 1 of 3 Peek at the Past She made a life in Hollywood but left her heart in Lock Haven By MATT CONNOR - For The Express POSTED: January 17, 2009 Save | Print | Email Is there any of us who hasn't fantasized about Article Photos dropping everything and heading off to Hollywood to try to make a name for him- or herself as an actor? Maybe those dreams manifested themselves during a particularly inspiring speech on an Oscar telecast, after receiving a round of applause during a school play, or after the 12th viewing of your favorite old film. In your mind's eye you see yourself on a huge, 50- foot movie screen, engaged in a sword fight with Errol Flynn, or in a clinch with Rita Hayworth or Cary Grant, or trading riotous barbs with Hope and Crosby. Well, Lock Haven native Christina Hart entertained those fantasies and then actually pursued them. One day at age 19 she packed up her car and drove to Los Angeles, with nothing but her dreams to sustain her. "Acting is the only thing that I was ever really good at, the only thing I was ever really good at doing," Hart said recently during a telephone interview from her home in L.A. "I was 19 when I moved to Christina Hart is shown with John Ritter California and joined theater companies and took and Joyce DeWitt in an episode of the TV classes and started working pretty quickly as soon as sitcom “Three’s Company.” I got here." PHOTO PROVIDED Her first movie role was the female lead in "The Stewardesses." Made for a paltry $100,000 in 1969, the movie went on to become a huge hit, grossing over $25 million and making the previously obscure producers rich beyond dreams.
