REMINDER...for Saturday (Sept. 27)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

SportsFest is One Week Away! Don't Miss this Chance to Get Outside

and Enjoy a Beautiful Fall Day in Greenville

WHAT:   SportsFest 2003 is Greenville's only interactive sports and
        gaming event, and the day will be chock full of activities,
        including a rock climbing wall, bouncy boxing, bouncy
        jousting, radar speed cage, double basketball, local vendors,
        and food and beverages. SportsFest is the perfect opportunity
        for everyone to get outdoors and see amazing bike stunts,
        challenge friends at interactive games, learn about new sports
        equipment, or just hang out and enjoy the beer garden.

        Don't miss King Bikes (www.kingbikes.com), a popular stunt
        biking show that's become a major attraction at events around
        the US, including the North Carolina State Fair. This famous
        stunt team will perform 3 times during SportsFest--1pm, 3pm,
        and 5pm!

        Bouncy boxing and bikes aren't your thing? Then how about
        bands and beverages? The Magic Pipers (www.magicpipers.com)
        will take the stage Saturday afternoon from 4-5pm and then
        again from 5:30-7pm to fill the air with fun tunes ranging
        from "Stayin' Alive" to "Margaritaville." And did we mention
        the beer garden?

        And there's even a SportsFest raffle! All attendees are
        encouraged to enter. Prizes include: an Eastern BMX Bike;
        a certificate for a free bike Tune-up; a doggie gift
        basket and stay-over from the Hoffman Haus; a $50 gift
        certificate and t-shirt from Fusion Surf & Skate; and a
        one-year subscription to Alpinist - an adventure climbing
        magazine.

WHEN:   Saturday, September 27th 2003, 11am-7pm. Free Clif Bars for
        the first 200 folks through the entrance! Rain or Shine!

WHERE:  The Greenville Convention Center Parking Lot located at 303
        SW Greenville Blvd--at the intersection of Greenville Blvd and
        Hooker Road, next to the Hilton

        outdoors is FUN for EVERYONE.
