Posted in:

The 47th Annual Our World Underwater Dive & Travel Show is right around the corner, February 24th - 26th Are you ready for the Biggest and Best Dive & Travel Show in the Midwest?

Well, I have sorted out most of the details for our Party with a Purpose and it should be a blast. A quick breakdown of the facts:

1. Everyone buying a ticket ($20.00) to the party is automatically entered to win a Sea of Cortez Liveaboard Adventure. Thanks to Rocio Del Mar (Booth 612) for a generous donation. (trip is valued at $3,200) (Winner must be present to win)
2. We are having a series of RAFFLES. We are giving away:

* We have Instant Sound lined up for a DJ work.
* We will have a showing of Tim Cothern's excellent video on SUDS and hear a few words from Dan Acosta a veteran who went through the SUDS program.
* Hopefully all our 2017 Presenters will be there for you to meet and greet.
* We will be announcing and awarding our:

1. 2017 OWU Underwater Photo & Video Competition Winners
2. 2017 OWU Outstanding Achievement Award Winners - Howard & Michele Hall
3. 2017 OWU Middle Coast Award Winner - Richard Bennett

As to other aspects of the party, I am working on a drink and food specials and we are going to be selling the 2017 OWU T-Shirts at the party for $15.00 with $5.00 going back to SUDS.

Tickets are available via Eventbrite or at front counter during Friday Night's show. As to the Show itself, we have some great speakers and a super Saturday Evening Film Festival lined up. There are multiple trips being given away each and day.

We are offering a couple great 2-fer incentives for coming to the show. Scuba Emporium and Chicagoland Scuba Center have generously offered two free airfills for any one showing up with a wristband from the show. Windy City Diving is offering a 2 for 1 Wednesday Night Single Tank Dive Charter to anyone buying an All-Inclusive Weekend Ticket.

That's right the All-Inclusive Weekend Ticket is back. After receiving a lot of flak for dropping the multi-day ticket when I switched to Eventbrite, I have given up fighting. The deal is you will get a wristband that you will have to wear all weekend just as if you at Lollapalooza. The All-Inclusive Ticket costs $100 and includes $135 worth of stuff, including:

* Friday Night Floor
* Party with a Purpose
* Saturday and Sunday Floor & Seminars
* Saturday Evening Film Festival
* T-Shirt
