PRICE OIL - Celebrity Golf Tournament Announces New Host

The high-energy country trio TRICK PONY will host the PRICE OIL CELEBRITY in 2004

Dates have been set for March 28 – 30, 2004

(DESTIN, FL – June 4, 2003) – In just two years, the highly anticipated Price Oil Celebrity has become the hottest ticket in town! Celebrities from all over come to the majestic Destin, Florida to play some golf, deep-sea fish and participate and perform in two days of non-stop entertainment from some of today’s hottest country recording artists such as Mark Wills, Trick Pony, Steve Azar, Neal McCoy, Billy Dean and Daron Norwood. Those are just some of the artists that performed this year for the eager Florida crowd. Brian Urlacher from the Chicago Bears, Keith Brooking from the Atlanta Falcons, former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon as well as PGA tour professionals such as John Daly, David Toms and Joe Durant were among the many other top athletes and celebrities that were a part of this incredible event to raise money for the March of Dimes.

“We are extremely proud to announce that because of all of the terrific celebrities, the hardworking volunteers, and the whole Destin community that have embraced this event, we were able to raise $47,000 this year for this important cause,” said Todd Armstrong, CEO, Price Oil, Inc. “Each year we go a step further with our dreams and visions for this event. This year we made the decision to add an important member to the Price Oil team, our new tournament producer Mike Milthorpe, who brought incredible insight and experience with him that has contributed tremendously to our success this year. We are already gearing up for an outstanding outcome next year by inviting our good friends, Heidi Newfield, Ira Dean and Keith Burns of Trick Pony to be our new host. There is no telling what is in store for the Price Oil Celebrity in 2004,” said Mr. Armstrong.

After years of honing their musical skills with non-stop club work the energetic and wild spirited members of Trick Pony have become one of the top acts in country music. Trick Pony released their second album On A Mission late last year and the first single “On A Mission” was a favorite at radio and on CMT and GAC video channels. They have been nominated for a Grammy, five ACM awards, and a CMT Flameworthy Video Award so far in 2003 and have appeared on the CMA Awards, CNN Headline News, CNN Entertainment Weekly News, CMT’s Top 20 Countdown, TV Guide Channel, Country Weekly, and a CMT special “On the Verge.” With a debut album that captured the energy of their live performance and an uncompromising attitude, Heidi Newfield, Ira Dean, and Keith Burns, made an instant presence in country music when their self-titled debut album became the highest debuting album for a new country group since the inception of Soundscan. The accolades did not stop there. Soon the group was named one of R&R’s Breakout Artists of 2001, they were finalists for New Country Artist of the Year at the Billboard Music Awards, and won a 2002 American Music Award as the Best New Country Artist of the Year. Their debut single, “Pour Me,” hit the Top 10 at country radio and they followed it up with “On A Night Like This,” that went all the way to #1. The album has gone gold selling over 500,000 copies.

"We are all excited and honored to have Price Oil ask us to host this signature celebrity event. We realize that we have big shoes to fill and we will do all we can to make the event all it can be," said Keith Burns of Trick Pony.
