RALEIGH, N.C.– Why should someone choose Greater Raleigh's TGIF promotion to plan a great big weekend in North Carolina's Capital City area in 2004?

Because it offers visitors more than $20 of savings and the following benefits when booking a Greater Raleigh TGIF rate each and every weekend (Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday night) throughout 2004:

Guaranteed lowest available TGIF rates as low as $39.99 per night at 29 participating hotel properties

Free $10 shopping card to either Crabtree Valley Mall or Triangle Town Center

Enhanced 2004 Visitor Rewards card good for valuable discount offers to participating local attractions, stores, museums, restaurants and golf clubs

Guaranteed lowest available TGIF golf rates any day of the week at six participating courses

So why settle for a day trip when TGIF weekends make it easy to relax and enjoy great concerts, shows, exhibits and sports -- plus lots of other big events that you won't find at home. Big performers like Shania Twain, Clay Aiken and Jerry Seinfeld. Titanic, China on Tour and First Flight exhibitions. Big malls like Crabtree Valley Mall and Triangle Town Center. Big shows like Mama Mia, Rent, The Graduate, Les Miserables and Oliver. Big sporting events like Carolina Hurricanes Hockey, NCAA Basketball and the NHL Draft. Big attractions like the seven-story, giant screen IMAX Theatre at Exploris. The North Carolina State Fair. Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Five big entertainment districts with live music, comedy clubs, food and fun. And more than 20 free attractions, including the state museums of art, history and natural sciences.
