PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The Department of Natural and Cultural Resources on behalf of its Division of Marketing and Communications (hereinafter “Department”), seeks to obtain pricing for and enter into a contract with a qualified Vendor to facilitate advertising on six (6) billboards in the Rockingham, Charlotte, and North Wilkesboro metropolitan areas to promote the Moonshine and Motorsports Trail campaign.
The Moonshine and Motorsports Trail Campaign will highlight our state’s history and cultural impact for increased economic development across the state. This project aims to instill a sense of pride and ownership of North Carolina’s unique history of distilling and motorsports through the years.
Distilling grew out of the state’s agriculture history—a rich, complicated distilling history that stretches back centuries. Auto racing in North Carolina has grown from occasional competitions among speed-hungry moonshiners during the 1930s to a multi-billion-dollar industry operating under the sponsorship of major corporations and attracting legions of devoted followers across the nation and world.
