ADVISORY/Photo Opportunity: ``Beatle Clones'' to Make Minnesota Debut At Borton Volvo Block Party

    --

    Borton Volvo of Minneapolis to Present 5th Annual
    Block Party August 18, featuring celebrated
    Beatles tribute band, "American English"

	   WHAT: Borton Volvo of Minneapolis will host the 5th Annual Borton
        Block Party, featuring the Minnesota premiere of "American
        English," considered one of the top Beatles tribute bands in
        the nation.

	       American English is a three-time winner of the "Best Beatles
        Tribute Band" at the annual "Beatlefest" convention in
        Chicago. Sam Leach, the original promoter of the Beatles,
        calls American English "The best Beatle show since the
        Beatles." The band performs three sets in costume, as the
        early Beatles, the "Sgt. Pepper"-era Beatles, and the "Abbey
        Road"-era Beatles.

	   WHEN: Saturday, August 18, 2001. 4p.m. to 10p.m.
          American English performs 8:30p.m. to 10p.m.

	   WHERE: The front of Borton Volvo of Minneapolis, 
           5428 Lyndale Ave. S.

	   WHY: Borton is nestled within a residential neighborhood, which is
        unique for an auto dealership. And, while the entire Twin
        Cities community is invited to the event, the company holds
        the party in appreciation of its Southwest Minneapolis
        neighbors.

	       More than 4,000 attended last year's Block Party, and the
        company expects the number to increase for this year's event.
        In addition to American English, the Borton Volvo Block Party
        will feature music by Heat Wave, The Basement Band, as well as
        face painters, clowns, jugglers, palm readers, tattoo artists,
        a beer garden and barbecue ribs.
