Discount admission to be offered
CLAYTON,
New York (June 29, 2015) – The Antique Boat Museum (ABM) announced today that
it will extend a special offer to all New York State-based law enforcement
officials between July 1 and July 10.
Following
a strenuous three-week manhunt by multiple law enforcement agencies in northern
NY, the ABM will offer half price admission to all law enforcement officers,
with valid law enforcement identification, as a means of thanks for their work
and dedication to keep our great state safe.
“For
nearly a month, communities in northern NY were rattled by the fact that two
dangerous individuals were hiding out and their whereabouts was unknown. It is
a relief for all New Yorkers to now know the challenging work by law
enforcement has paid off,” explained Michael Folsom, Director of Marketing &
Communications. “This offer is just our small way of saying thanks and we
encourage other attractions and organizations from across the state to find
similar ways to participate.”
The
half price admission offer is valid beginning on Wednesday, July 1 and will run
through Friday, July 10. This offer is being extended to not just those who
were a part of the search, but any and all law enforcement based within NY
State, including US Border and Protection, correctional facility officers, NYS
Park Rangers, etc.
The
ABM, located at 750 Mary Street, Clayton NY 13624, is now open daily 9 a.m.
until 5 p.m. and is home to North America’s largest antique boat collection
with more than 300 boats and over 1,000 boating artifacts. In addition, the
Museum is also host of the longest running antique boat show, which will
celebrate its 51st year this July 31-August 2. For more information,
