More visitors went to
www.fwwebb.com on Dec. 4
than on any single day since its launch several years ago, according to
Jeff
Pope, president of
family-owned PHC distributor F.W. Webb. And it was primarily for a chance to
obtain one of 150 Webb Priority Access Passes to the Second Annual Fenway Yard
Sale on Dec. 12.
Online registration started at 9 a.m.; within a few hours all 150 authorized
spots were taken. After the yard sale registration was closed, visitors were
invited to register to win two free tickets for opening day at Fenway Park on
April 5, when the Red Sox will host the Yankees.
A random drawing was held one week later, and AH Thermo Heating & Cooling
of Exeter, N.H., won the tickets.
Mike O’Shea, general manager of F.W. Webb’s Dover, N.H., branch,
delivered the news.
According to the Red Sox organization, F.W.
Webb contractors purchased more than $10,000 in Red Sox memorabilia and
souvenirs at The Fenway Yard Sale, where the selection of items included some
of the last remaining seats in Fenway Park from the .406 Club, loge seats, roof
seats, game-worn jerseys, Fenway Park bricks, signed memorabilia, baseballs,
bats, artwork and other miscellaneous items.
The Fenway Yard Sale is not open to the public. A select group of fans
is randomly chosen to attend the sale and pre-registered Webb contractors were
given priority access this year on the day before it opened.
