Event attendees targeted for marriage in Minnesota’s capital city
starting August 1.
SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Visit Saint Paul, the official convention & visitors bureau of Saint Paul, Minnesota, will have its mobile visitor center onsite at PrideFest Milwaukee June 8-9, in an effort to bring new visitors to Minnesota – some of which may want to take advantage of the newly passed Freedom to Marry Bill.
“Passing of the Freedom to Marry Bill has the potential to bring many same-sex couples to Saint Paul who want to celebrate their wedding day with us,” said Karolyn Kirchgesler, President & CEO of Visit Saint Paul. ”PrideFest Milwaukee gives us a chance to get in front of a lot of people and share why Saint Paul is the perfect destination for a wedding, a long weekend, or a full-fledged vacation.”
Saint Paul’s mobile visitor center, personified as Paul, is an eye-catching automobile with a 360 degree canopy system, sunroof, two 19 inch televisions, a spin to win wheel, bright orange chairs, cellphone chargers and completely wrapped in beautiful Saint Paul imagery.
Visitors who take a picture of themselves with Paul at PrideFest and submit it have a chance to win a hotel overnight and two tickets to Beyonce on July 18 in a suite at Xcel Energy Center or an iPad Mini. All entrants are also eligible for the Grand Prize VIP Saint Paul Experience valued at $4000 that will be drawn at the end of the summer.
Look for Paul and friends near the Main Gate of the PrideFest grounds.
Visit Saint Paul plans to distribute information on complimentary wedding services for same-sex couples as well as promotion of Twin Cities Pride which takes place June 29-30 in Minnesota.
