FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Labor Day Jamboree is Moving to a NEW home
and the time is Right Around the Corner!

Friday, September 4 - Monday, September 7, 2009

YOU and your family are invited to one of the greatest Barbershop
experiences of the year - the Sunshine District Labor Day Jamboree!

This year, LDJ has been moved to the Southern hospitality charm of
Plantation Inn Resort in Crystal River, Florida! There are an
incredible amount of things to do and see at this beautiful resort on
the famous Crystal River only minutes by boat from the Gulf of Mexico!

Book your accomodations today! It's never too early to start
planning. Information regarding show ticket sales and the golf
tournament is below. Keep returning to the LDJ site for the latest updates.

To book a room or suite, you may contact the Plantation Inn
reservations department at 1-800-632-6262. When calling, be sure to
mention that you are attending the Sunshine District Labor Day
Jamboree event. The promo code is BHSS09. The guest room rate is
$100/night and up. Upgraded rooms, suites, villas, and condos are
based on availability and at an additional rate. All rooms and suites
will be charged 9% tax.

This rate is only guaranteed until August 4th so DON'T PROCRASTINATE!
On August 5th, any remaining rooms in our set-aside will be returned
to the general pool and getting a room for LDJ will be a challenge
you can avoid by BOOKING NOW.

If you would like to make it a longer family vacation, feel free to
come early and stay later! The Plantation Inn Golf Resort & Spa has
agreed to offer these great room rates if you decide to do so. If
it's the ocean you want to see, Florida's West Coast is within a
half-hour or so from the resort.

It's been a couple weeks since the close of International and it's
time to shift gears! Check out the website and begin booking your
participation in this year's event. ONLY 75 rooms remain! One thing
that you do not want to miss out on is renting a pontoon boat and
going out on the water to see the world famous manatees. It's a day
of fun and sun that you and your family will never forget. Keep
building those memories! Labor Day is a big weekend for Plantation
Inn so book your boats NOW. You can check out those rates and contact

Sunday, September 6th starting at 8:30 a.m. on the Plantation Inn's

This Labor Day Jamboree will prove to be bigger and better than ever.
Enjoy the fabulous show, and whatever your preference, be it an
intense game of tennis, a family boating outing, an early morning
fishing trip, or a leisurely boat ride, the Plantation Golf Resort &
Spa has an extensive variety of fun activities to experience for
everyone. Adventure seekers can brave a once-in-a-lifetime swim with
manatees in the warm waters of the Crystal River inlets or explore
25,000 acres around King's Bay on one of their custom Florida boat
rentals. Visit the marina & dive shop, get SCUBA certified, and go
underwater to witness a whole new world of aquatic life. For a little
more action, grab a rod and reel and get hooked on a Florida fishing
trip you won't soon forget.

If you're the type that prefers dry land, the Plantation Golf Resort
& Spa has you covered. They are home to championship-level golf and
tennis. Also, head out to the lawn and enjoy a gentlemanly game of
croquet on our regulation court, play a family round-robin horseshoe
tournament, or relax by our newly remodeled pool and pool deck area
while you watch others play on our sand volleyball court.

Competitive sport or leisurely games, aquatic adventure or land-based
fun, experience all your favorite Florida resort activities in the
paradise setting of Plantation Golf Resort & Spa.

And, let's not forget that you'll being doing all of it with your new
best friends. Did I mention there is 4-part harmony singing
everywhere? Get a room and join us!
