Cox Partners with TBA for 'Man Cave' Contest at 2009 Homearama

~ Includes offers for half off ticket price ~

CHESAPEAKE, Va., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- As a 2009 Homearama signature sponsor, Cox is sponsoring several activities for attendees of Tidewater Builders Association's (TBA) annual event, which will be held at Culpepper Landing, Chesapeake, from Saturday, Oct. 3 through Sunday, Oct. 18.

"Cox is very excited to be the signature sponsor for the 2009 Homearama," said Cox Senior Vice President and General Manager Gary McCollum. "It's a great time to buy a new home and Cox is happy to highlight the superior service opportunities that we can bring to the home. From high-speed broadband options to video programming suited for each room in the home, Cox can be part of these homeowners' telecommunications solutions."

As part of the event, Cox has partnered with Homearama builder T.E. Jones of Vintage Homes to showcase a custom-built, digital man cave. The man caves concept continues to gain popularity as more and more men create their own sanctuaries, often including a specially equipped garage, spare bedroom, media room, den or basement. DIY Network's "Man Caves" program offers ideas and expert do-it-yourself instruction to help guys construct their own personal hangouts. Homearama guests will have the opportunity to enter the Man Cave contest throughout the event, with chances to win one of many prizes, including Blu-Ray players from DIY Network and a big-screen television from Cox Communications.

"Attendees will see this unique 'man cave' space -- complete with an outdoor theme and memorabilia -- as well as a dynamic home theater. While there, guests also will have the chance to win prizes provided by Cox and DIY Network," McCollum said.

Cox Communications, in partnership with TBA, also is offering two-for-one admission to anyone presenting a Cox Communications invoice during "Two for Tuesdays" on Tuesday, Oct. 6 and Tuesday, Oct. 13. (For those customers coming alone, with a Cox bill, they too can gain admission for 50% off the regular ticket price of $10 per person.)
