Merrell, the global leader in outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear and apparel, launched a fan engagement event using the Eventzee scavenger hunt app. Utilizing Eventzee technology, the “Atlanta Scavenger Hunt presented by Merrell” encourages both fans and community members alike to celebrate the great outdoors throughout the city.

Those in the Atlanta, GA area can download the Eventzee app and enter the join code “stepfurther” to participate in the ongoing event. The virtual event features photo, video, text, quiz, and gps challenges. Through photos and videos, players can share their favorite Merrell gear and landmarks in Atlanta. Text and quiz challenges will test players’ knowledge on local wildlife. The event will run through Friday, April 30th, allowing players nearly a full month to complete all the challenges.

“Merrell has made great use of nearly all the challenge types Eventzee has to offer,” said Craig Holland, CEO of Freeze Tag, “The variety will create a rich experience for those who participate.”

The theme of the event is “Get Outside.” Some challenges will prompt players to visit specific locations, such as Merrell stores and other local businesses.

WORLD OF COCA-COLA GIVES GUESTS THE VIP TREATMENT WITH ALL-NEW COKE INSIDER JOURNEY

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/29/21

Small-Group, Guided Tour Takes Fans Behind the Scenes at Atlanta Attraction

A new adventure awaits Coca-Cola fans and Atlanta explorers. For a limited time, World of Coca-Cola is launching Coke Insider Journey, a two-hour, VIP experience in which small groups of no more than 10 guests have the entire attraction to themselves. Offered on Saturdays and Sundays beginning April 3 through May 16, the premium, guided tour includes exclusive features and souvenirs tailored to fans who want to level-up their visit.

Behind the Bottle

As a dedicated guide leads Coke Insiders through the attraction, they encounter performers who lead special presentations and shows, such as a soda jerk demonstration and Olympic torch show-and-tell — all exclusive to the private tour. The guests also gain unprecedented access to the exhibits, including peeks into how the bottling line and beverage fountains operate. The premium offering is perfect for both returning guests who want to experience World of Coke in a new light and first-time visitors seeking an over-the-top inaugural trip.

Premium Perks

To commemorate the unique visit to World of Coca-Cola, Insiders receive complimentary items including a reusable cup filled with their favorite drink from Taste It!, a keepsake pin and printed and digital photos with the popular Coca-Cola Polar Bear. Guests also receive free parking, free coat check and an in-store discount to complete the VIP treatment.

Safety First

The health and safety of World of Coke’s guests and employees are of highest importance. Adjusted operations in compliance with guidelines from health and government authorities include: mandatory face coverings for everyone over the age of two, required social distancing, thermal temperature scans, enhanced cleaning routines throughout the attraction and timed tickets purchased online in advance.

Coke Insider Journey is ideal for those who want to enjoy all that World of Coca-Cola has to offer — and more — but feel more comfortable doing so in a smaller, more personal group.

Let’s Talk Tickets

Tickets for Coke Insider Journey are $50 per person or $500 to buy out the full, 10-person timeslot. Groups of less than 10 that do not buy out the full slot may be paired with other small groups for no more than 10 guests total. Tickets must be purchased online in advance.

JOE HERTLER & THE RAINBOW SEEKERS, ANNOUNCES APRIL 2021 TEN-SHOW RUN ACROSS TEXAS, TENNESSEE, GEORGIA, NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA & OHIO ALL OUTDOORS & SOCIALLY-DISTANT

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/22/21

Tickets on sale now.

Outdoors and socially distant, Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers are safely hitting the road with Proxima Parada throughout April 2021, beginning on April 16th at The Rustic in Dallas, TX, followed by an April 17th show at The Rustic in Houston, TX. On April 18th, the band concludes their Texas shows at Empire Garage in Austin, TX.

Their southern run continues at Yeehaw Brewing Company in Nashville, TN on April 21st, before Park Tavern at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, GA hosts the band on April 22nd. Then, on April 23rd, the Rainbow Seekers hit Lenny Boy Brewing in Charlotte, NC, followed by Pour House in Charleston, SC on April 24th. Greenville, SC sees the band next at Quest Brewing on April 28th. The band will head back to North Carolina, with a stop in Asheville at Salvage Station on April 29th, and the tour will come to a close in Columbus, OH at Woodland’s Tavern on April 30th.

As COVID-19 drastically altered life as we knew it, frontman Joe Hertler recalls the night in February 2020 when the band had to cancel their tour, and immediately rented a van to head home, embracing uncertainty and change like never before. “Change, I believe, is an expression of nature’s joy – and over the next year, we bunkered down, did what we were instructed to do, and learned to live our lives without live music. Humanity adapted, as it always does. I dare to say a sense of normalcy even emerged from the chaos, as we learned the value of patience.”

With a renewed sense of optimism, Hertler continues, “The lengthening light of spring will soon crack through winter’s shell – and it seems, perhaps, that we’re on track to return to life as it was. Outdoor, socially-distant show opportunities have been approved in many communities – and we, Rainbow Seekers, will be emerging from our dens.”

The band invites you to join them as they aim to bring a rainbow after the storm unleashed by a deadly pandemic. Joe echoes, “I have a feeling that 2021 is going to be one of the most refreshingly memorable years that any of us have yet to live.”
