NORTH VENICE, Fla. - Insulated drinkware manufacturer Tervis will kick off the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market with a soirée featuring Bobby Deen, the son of restaurateur and cooking show host Paula Deen.

Deen has risen to fame in the culinary arena himself as manager of The Lady & Sons in Savannah, Ga., and host of "Not My Mama's Meals" on the Cooking Channel.

"We‘re thrilled to welcome Bobby Deen to our Atlanta showroom," said Kim Livengood, Tervis PR and events manager. "With his infectious positivity and trademark southern charm he'll help us celebrate our newest product lines at this market."

Deen will greet guests during a cocktail party from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 11 in the Tervis showroom, Building 2, Floor 8, Showroom 840. There will be opportunities for autographs and photos on a first come first serve basis. There will also be a raffle for a four-pack of Tervis and $100 gift certificate to The Lady & Sons.

"My cabinet has always been filled with Tervis cups," Deen said. "They are a great company and have amazing products. I hope you will come out to support Tervis and enjoy a cocktail, laughter and continuing the success of Tervis with me."

In addition to the drinkware company's guest of honor, the party will showcase Tervis' many new collections including fresh new design themes like golf, pets, water enthusiasts and new license agreements and expansions.
