Each summer for the past 10 years plus Mintz & Hoke has
run "Hot Summer Fun" promotions at Mohegan Sun. Working with
radio stations we develop 8 weeks of entertainment on the rooftop
of the parking garage at Mohegan Sun. Thousands of people turn
out for the event - it is wall to wall people - they bring
blankets, chairs, etc. We have a "Battle of the Bands" concert
completion with judges in which bands from CT and MA and Providence
come and entertain in addition for a chance to win the
"Battle". A stipend is given to the winner after the 8-week
competition and a chance to win an appearance at the Wolf Den of
the Mohegan Sun.
Engage
