About Clearwater’s 1st Annual Super Boat National Championship Festival:
When Super Boat International (SBI) founder and 30-year veteran, John Carbonell, wanted to produce Clearwater’s 1st Annual Super Boat National Championship Festival two local area businessmen made it happen: Restaurateur Frank Chivas and Former Mayor of Clearwater Brian Aungst Sr.

Carbonell has been producing the World Championship Races in Key West every year for 3 decades as well as the races in Sarasota held every 4th of July. Now Clearwater, the next “new great location” will have something Key West doesn’t have…the absence of cruise ships obstructing the race sight lines. “It’s a great time of year to support the tourism industry,” says Aungst. “[SBI] needed another spot and Clearwater Beach is one of the prettiest beaches in the world.”

Clearwater’s 1st Annual Super Boat National Championship Festival will be produced by Super Boat International, presented by Brighthouse Networks and sponsored by Bud Light Lime, the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce, Pier 60 Concessions and Land Shark Lager.

Weekend Festivities Heat Up for Clearwater’s 1st Annual Super Boat National Championship Festival

This post was submitted by Karla Jo Helms.

Clearwater, FL, September 14, 2009 – The producers of 4th Friday Clearwater recently announced that they put together even more star-studded performances for their September kick-off to the 30th Anniversary of Clearwater Jazz Holiday. The renowned José Valentino will also be performing on September 25th in Downtown Clearwater’s Cleveland Street District. Valentino, a Downbeat Magazine award-winning flutist with proven jazz and classical skills, has been described as a “flute on fire” with an already illustrious career at the age of 21, opening or performing side-by-side with local and international artists such as Aaron Neville, Chic Corea, Jim Walker…and the list goes on and on. Most recently, he performed with Paquito D’Rivera at the prestigious Tanglewood Jazz Festival, sponsored by the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Before reaching the age required to obtain a Florida driver’s permit, José Valentino Ruiz, aka-Joe Ruiz, was playing flute with passion and dexterity. Born in Silver Spring, Maryland, he moved to Tampa, Florida at age 8. Frequent trips with his family to Puerto Rico infused fervor in his soul for his Hispanic heritage and excitement for Latin rhythms.

“Overall I just want to bring people together with music….it’s something that all people of all ages seem to agree on and if I have made someone’s day better, I know I’m doing something right,” says José.

Valentino’s latest CD “ALL ABOUT YOU” is a special album that is reported to “have flavors for everyone” which is why the 4th Friday Clearwater event producers knew he’d be a perfect match for their 1500-plus party goers.

• 4th Friday Clearwater Parties on Cleveland Street are FREE.
• A suggested donation on September 25th is a non-perishable food item for the RCS Food Bank.
• Two city blocks will be closed down on Cleveland Street in Downtown Clearwater.
• Beer, wine, food and wares will be for sale.
• The party starts at 5:30pm and will go until 10pm.

The CLEARWATER JAZZ HOLIDAY FOUNDATION will be the benefiting charity supplying volunteers to run the beer and wine stands.

The property management company immediately recognized the value of the service ESI could bring to the various properties due to the modernization it would provide to the buildings on an economic, energy-efficient basis. The company is looking to find energy efficient solutions that will benefit residents and stockholders alike and believe in ESI’s concept.

“In this economic environment, saving money is the top priority for condominium associations,” an executive said. “Energy Smart Industry’s LED retrofit program with zero out of pocket for the buildings and guaranteed savings on the electric bill does just that,” he continued.

ESI’s innovative lighting solutions and program allow this property management company to gain a tremendous competitive advantage by presenting its clients with a proposal that will save them money at no out of pocket cost, improve their lighting considerably by switching entirely or partly to LED, and go “green” all at the same time while reshaping industry standards.

“It is rare to see such a proactive property management company,” said Roni Mazouz, Vice President of ESI. “Where most companies just react to problems, they are seeking better solutions to the properties they manage,” he said.

Energy Smart Industry (ESI) is an eco-friendly, Led lighting and Energy efficiency lighting firm that offers an innovative lighting redesign program that allows buildings to become “green” by reducing carbon emission and improving energy efficiency. It is the only company of its kind in the United States that offers the retrofit lighting service and products with guaranteed positive cash flow and no out-of-pocket cost. ESI allows buildings to realize guaranteed energy cost savings / electricity saving with an unbelievable positive cash flow. ESI includes a unique 5-year protection policy on the lighting installed. After the retrofit the building will enjoy a complete LED lighting system at no cost and immediate positive cash flow guaranteed.

4th Friday Clearwater on September 25th Boasts Star-studded Performances by Level 10 and Jose Valentino

This post was submitted by Karla Jo Helms.

Clearwater, FL, September 8, 2009 – A recent study has shown that power boat races helped inject large amounts of money into a local economy where they were held. Case in point is Michigan City: The La Porte County Convention and Visitors Bureau reported that their inaugural 2009 Great Lakes Grand Prix offshore powerboat race injected more than $6 million into their local economy. For this reason, Super Boat International and Brighthouse Networks are bringing some of the fastest and largest offshore power boats in the world to Clearwater from Friday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 4th for Clearwater’s 1st Annual Super Boat National Championship Festival.

Michigan City’s study, commissioned by the La Porte County CVB, showed that the 80,000-plus spectators who attended the 3-day event in early August injected nearly $5 million into the local economy simply through expenditures like dining and shopping. When gaming and lodging revenues were added in the total rose to above $6 million, according to a statement from the bureau. CVB officials also noted that several out-of-town visitors in the area for the boat race had to secure lodging in neighboring counties, thereby spreading the wealth.

The power boats that will race on Clearwater Beach this October are equipped with F-16 jet canopies and extreme speeds of up to 200 mph, and will compete in front of a predicted 40,000-plus spectators and fans coming from all over Florida and other parts of the nation. Power boat racers like Miss Geico, Seminole Hard Rock Casino, AMSOIL and Stihl are some of the reported teams to be competing in the festival.

The Host Hotel for Clearwater’s 1st Annual Super Boat National Championship Festival is the
Hilton Clearwater Beach. The Partner Hotels are the Sheraton Sand Key Resort, Sand Pearl Resort and Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites. The jammed-packed festival will be FREE for the entire family with plenty of parking available in downtown Clearwater with rides to and from the beach via the Jolly Trolley.
