Seawright Holdings Enters Its Bottled Water in World's Most
Prestigious Water Tasting Festival ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 17
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seawright Holdings, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD:
SWRI) , owner of Seawright Springs, one of the oldest and largest
natural water springs on the Eastern Seaboard, today announced that
its bottled water will be a participant in the largest, longest
running and most famous International Water Tasting Festival in the
world, to be held at Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, Feb. 19-22,
2004. Seawright Springs, in the historic Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia, is one of the largest sources of natural spring water
anywhere, with the water coming from high in the Blue Ridge
Mountains. The uniformly delicious taste of the water, which
maintains a constant 59 degree temperature all year, has made it a
favorite since the 1890s, when it was first bottled and sold. Held
in the historic spa town of Berkeley Springs, the 14th annual water
tasting festival ( http://www.berkeleysprings.com/water ) is a
search for the best water in the world. Prizes are given for
bottled water, with Seawright Springs among 34 entries, and
municipal water, packaging design plus other categories. Seawright
Springs will be competing against bottled waters from New Zealand,
Canada, Bosnia and throughout the U.S. More than 100 companies and
municipalities will be represented at the festival. Last year, 27
states and the District of Columbia, plus eight countries,
including England, Sweden, Israel, Italy and Bosnia, competed.
Previous judges have included representatives from National Public
Radio, the United Nations Correspondents Association, the
Washington Post, Baltimore Sun and other major magazines and
newspapers. Bottled water is judged by its appearance, which must
be clear, a lack of aroma, its clean, light taste, and it should
not have an aftertaste. "This is an excellent opportunity for us to
reintroduce the water from Seawright Springs to the key experts in
the bottled water industry," said Joel P. Sens, President and CEO
of Seawright Holdings. Mr. Sens' Company recently purchased the 145
acre facility north of Staunton, Virginia, and is currently
negotiating opportunities for the property. Forward-Looking
