PRIZES AND GAMES LORETTA LYNN, RICHARD THOMPSON,

PRIZES
PORTLAND, ME – Bull Moose Music celebrates 15 years of
“nowhere better, nowhere cheaper” on Saturday, September
25 with storewide events. All 10 Bull Moose Music stores
will be giving away fun items such as CD samplers,
stickers, buttons, t-shirts and pens to customers during
the day on Saturday, as long as supplies last. In
addition, Bull Moose Music has created a 15th
Anniversary Trivia Contest; people can enter to win
prizes ranging from autographed guitars to a Playstation
2 with loads of goodies in between. Entry forms must be
filled out on the 25th; winners will be drawn the
following week and be contacted at that time.
The Scarborough Bull Moose, 456 Payne Rd., will host
Reid Genauer, the front man for the nationally known jam
band Assembly of Dust, for a solo acoustic performance.
He is scheduled to perform a short set at 2:30 p.m.,
Saturday 25. Genauer will also be available to sign
autographs following this free in-store performance.
Sanford and North Windham stores are expected to have
local bands performing in the afternoon.
The 15th Anniversary Trivia Contest has prizes to appeal
to virtually any Bull Moose customer. Bull Moose Music
has collected a wide range of hard to find items to give
away including guitars autographed by country music star
Loretta Lynn, British folk-rocker Richard Thompson, the
hard rock band Crossfade, and heavy metal rocker Zakk
Wylde. Other prizes include posters autographed by Bob
Weir and the Crickets and a banner Kenny Chesney
autographed. In addition, a Sony Playstation 2, a 2005
Madden game, a huge Resident Evil display, Hoobastank
autographed CD booklets, a Pink Floyd display, an
extremely rare Rolling Stones video reel, Fear Factory
autographed drum sticks, a Sum 41 skate deck, ten Vision
skate decks, a cky skate deck and many other items will
be given away.
“We're trying to take the excitement and mayhem of our
new store grand openings and spread it around to every
Bull Moose on the same day. To mix it up a bit, each
store is going to have its own set of games and fun in
addition to our big sale and the trivia contest,” said
Bull Moose’s Chris Brown. As part of the daylong
festivities many of the stores will have live music and
games such as “Pin the Tail on the Moose” and “Musical
Jeopardy.” Numerous radio stations will be broadcasting
live from the Bull Moose stores in Maine.
Bull Moose Music was started in 1989 by Brett Wickard
when he was a junior at Bowdoin College in Brunswick,
Maine. What began as a makeshift store carrying only a
few records is now the largest music retailer in Maine
and Seacoast New Hampshire. Today Bull Moose Music has
stores in Bangor, Brunswick, Lewiston, North Windham,
Portland, Sanford, Scarborough and Waterville, Maine and
Portsmouth and Salem, New Hampshire and employs nearly
100 people. Its product line includes new and used
records, CDs, DVDs and new and used video games. The
stores also carry accessories ranging from CD cases to
hair dye and incense.
Bull Moose added its most recent store, a warehouse
store, in July 2003. This store, in Scarborough Maine,
houses over 300,000 new and used records, CDs, DVDs and
games. The store supplies stock for all 9 other Bull
Moose locations in Maine and New Hampshire.
