Date Set for 2005 Big Boys Toys & Travel Show; Northwest Event Follows National Tradition

SEATTLE--June 13, 2005--The Big Boys Toys & Travel Show will be held October 28-30, 2005, at Qwest Field Plaza, adjacent to Qwest Field and Safeco Field at the south end of downtown Seattle.

The family-friendly show will be similar to other "Big Boys" shows across the U.S., spotlighting the latest and greatest in lifestyle products and services. Exhibitors will offer the latest high-tech games and gadgets, home theaters, home improvement tools and products, top outdoor grills, sports memorabilia, fine wines, premium cigars, as well as resorts and travel destinations.

"We'll be first show in this market to focus on distinctive lifestyle products and services appealing to men," said Event Manager Tom Cade.

Even with the male-oriented emphasis, Cade said other "Big Boys" shows held across the U.S. traditionally attract all demographics, and show producers expect women and children will make up as much as 30% of attendees at this event.

"We'll have products that are fun, interesting and appeal to a range of audiences, including families. We want those attending the show to touch, feel and check what's new in multiple product categories," said Cade. "It will be highly interactive -- we want you to sit in a home theatre, experience cooking on the latest outdoor grills, and get a hands-on experience with the products you are most interested in."

Other activities planned for the Big Boys Toys and Travel Show include a "Texas Hold'em" tournament and lessons from experienced poker players, and a field goal kicking contest for those brave enough to try splitting the uprights on the turf of Qwest Field.
