Realtors welcome DNC visitors, delegates to North Carolina

The Charlotte Regional Realtor® Association and the North Carolina
Association of Realtors® (NCAR) received a grant from the National
Association of Realtors® (NAR) to run digital billboards during the
Democratic National Convention (DNC). The associations worked with
Adams Outdoor Advertising to create ten digital billboards now on
display in various locations throughout the Piedmont region through
Sept. 16. The billboard campaign serves as a way to welcome DNC
delegates, media and visitors to North Carolina.

2012 Association/Carolina Multiple Listing Services, Inc. (CMLS)
president Jennifer Frontera said, "We all know Charlotte, North
Carolina is a great place to live and soon delegates, media and
visitors from all over the U.S. will find that out. Even if visitors
to this area don't come back and call Charlotte home, we want to make
sure they remember the Realtors® welcomed them to our great city and
state."

The bright blue digital billboards displaying the "Welcome to North
Carolina" message will run in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Catawba, Gaston
and Union Counties from August 20 – September 16, 2012.

Locations:
• Highways 150 & 16 (Catawba Co.)
