Myrtle Beach chamber seeking locals to appear in ads

The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce wants area residents to star in its advertisements promoting the beach.

The chamber will have a casting call between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday at The Palace Theatre, off 21st Avenue North at Broadway at the Beach.

Those interested must live in Horry or Georgetown counties and be available June 1 through June 5 and June 15 and June 19, when the shooting for the ads will take place at area attractions, restaurants and lodging providers.

The chamber wants all kinds of residents: male, female, kids, seniors and couples. Those who attend the casting call will pose for a head shot and do a video interview.

"Genuine southern hospitality is embodied by our residents," chamber President Brad Dean said in a news release. "Our current advertising materials feature local residents from our casting call last year, and with the tremendous response we've received from our advertising, it makes sense to maximize our opportunities again this year."

if they had such a tremendous response, why the new penny tax???

Why should city residents pay property tax. Let the tourist pay, lets also get the MB CHAMBER to send us (ONLY LOCALS) a check for the money locals pay when we eat out, that sounds really fair! VOTE THEM OUT.

The chamber has failed. did not support bike weeks, and now no tourist in hotels or restaurants. Off 60%. Nice, lets bet our future on these losers.
