NEWPORT, Kentucky (June 4, 2008) – The Newport Business Association is sponsoring the “Newport Amazing Chase,” a fundraiser to benefit Newport Veterans Memorial Pool.
Newport Amazing Chase is a scavenger hunt throughout the Newport business area on Saturday, June 21, 2008. The race begins at 9 am at Fourth Street Elementary (101 E. 4th Street in Newport, KY). The race will end at Cityside Pub and Grill, located at 500 Monmouth Street. Friends and family who do not want to participate in the chase may attend the after party between noon and 3 pm for $10.

Each team, made up of no more than 4 people, will complete challenges in each business before moving on to the next. Teams should dress in matching attire or costumes for the family friendly chase. Awards will be given for Fastest Team, Fastest Female Team, Fastest Male Team, Fastest Team with a Stroller, Fastest over Age 55 Team, Furthest Traveled Team, Best Costume, Best Team Name, Most Money Raised, Youngest Participating Team, Oldest Participating Team, and Fastest Corporate Team.

Early entry into The Amazing Chase is $100 per team of 4 people by 6/16/08. After 6/16/08, the entry fee is $150. All the participants will receive a goodie bag and admission to the “Mini-Taste of Newport” after party at Cityside Pub and Grill. Newport restaurants will provide samples of their famous dishes. There will be beverage specials and live music during the awards presentation.

This event is to help raise money for Newport Veterans Memorial Pool. The money made will not only help with operation and maintenance costs, but also caters to Campbell County as the only community pool. Partnerships with the Newport Independent School system (NIS) and the Brighton Center will provide low income children with breakfast and lunch, and busing to the pool for recreational activity. NIS also provides a Summer Literacy Academy for children of the area. The pool will serve as an incentive for the kids, while also providing a safe area for them to swim.

There is ample parking at Fourth Street Elementary School for $2. To register for this event or make a donation, go to www.active.com. Keyword Search: “Newport Amazing Chase”.
