Great Lakes Seaway Trail, NY-PA; Dec. 3, 2012 -- The enduringly
popular daytime television game show The Price is Right is set to feature Braddock
Point Lighthouse in Hilton, NY, in a Lighthouses Around the World vacation
getaway showcase prize early in 2013.
The 4.5 million viewers of The Price is Right will learn about Braddock
Point Lighthouse, one of 30 historic and replica structures found on the 518-mile-long
Great Lakes Seaway Trail National Scenic Byway along the St. Lawrence River,
Lake Ontario, Niagara River and Lake Erie in New York and Pennsylvania.
Owners Donald and Nandy Town operate the historic lighthouse built
in 1896 as a luxury Bed & Breakfast Inn. The rooms of working light are
beautifully-appointed with period antiques. The showcase prize will include
overnight accommodations in the Victorian-style lighthouse keeper’s home.
‘We are excited to be asked to participate in this special Price
is Right showcase that will reach so many millions of viewers. We are never
surprised at the number of people this light attracts, but the television
exposure will certainly keep us tremendously busy next summer,’ Nandy said.
The Towns offer a special incentive to anyone who mentions the
Great Lakes Seaway Trail when making their reservation.
‘The Great Lakes Seaway Trail has brought us visitors from
literally around the world. The byway leads right to our door and we have
welcomed people from Poland, Russia, Hawaii, and all across America,’ says
Donald (in photo above), who occasionally appears in authentic lighthouse keeper uniform at the
lighthouse that is open from mid-May to mid-September.
Great Lakes Seaway Trail President and CEO Mike Bristol said, ‘We
share the Town’s excitement at the opportunity to inspire The Price is Right’s
huge audience to discover their fabulous bed and breakfast and to come travel
the Great Lakes Seaway Trail byway.’
The Price is Right episode with Braddock Point Lighthouse is
expected to air January 15, 2013. -30-
