GARDEN SPOT PROMOTIONS AQUIRED BY IMC CONCERTS / INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT, LLC

Nashville, TN – February 8, 2012 – IMC Concerts/Innovative Management, LLC announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Garden Spot Promotions adding the legendary company to it’s concert promotions business. Although Garden Spot Promotions is changing ownership, the name will stay the same.
Landon Beene, CEO, states: “Twila Rohrer has built a history of excellence in concert promotion with Garden Spot Promotions and we honor that in keeping the name. We are looking forward to carrying on the vision and wonderful tradition of Gospel music in Pennsylvania.”
Nathan Goble, managing partner, comments: “It is with great excitement and great responsibility that we step into Twila’s shoes as owners of Garden Spot Promotions. The leadership of Twila is an inspiration to us as we continue this legacy.”
Garden Spot Promotions was founded in 1969 by Richard “Dick” and Mary Carpenter out of a love of Gospel music. The company transferred ownership to Twila Rohrer on January 1, 2004. Twila’s involvement with the company started as she volunteered at concerts. Twila casually mentioned that she would be interested in buying the business from Mary if she ever decided to retire. In Mary’s words “Twila attended concerts and asked to help. She later said if I ever retired, she would be interested in taking over. Of all the people who wanted to buy Garden Spot Promotions, I found Twila was the best for the job.” The tradition of excellence continues with the transfer of ownership to Landon Beene and Nathan Goble of IMC Concerts / Innovative Management.
Twila Rohrer comments: “I am delighted and honored that Landon Beene and Nathan Goble have taken on the leadership of Garden Spot Promotions. As I ponder the journey that I have taken during the past eight years, I recall many exhilarating moments and wonderful memories. It has been a privilege to work with the artists, develop lifetime friendships and to promote the greatest music on earth. Thank you to everyone who has ever volunteered and worked with us. A very special thanks to my husband, Dale, and my children, Christy, Hillary, Dresdon and son-in-law Neil Hershey for all the work through the years – I am very proud of them. Please continue to pray for Landon, Nathan and their staff. I also ask you to pray for the success of the mission to continue to bring the message of salvation through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
