'Jersey Shore' Comes To Broomall
Octane Entertainment brings "Jersey Shore" cast members JWoww and Deena to the Marple Sports Arena for a night of foam and fun, without all the drama.
BROOMALL—Saturday, Sept. 24, will be one wild night for Delaware County teens. Local entertainment group, Octane Entertainment will be presenting the first of many events geared towards giving teens something new, exciting, and (for the parents) safe.
The entertainment company will be transforming the into a full fledged, foam-filled fantasy with an added bonus. If you "GTL" (gym, tan, laundry) or if you just like a good time, this party–ages 14 through 18 only–features MTV's popular TV show "Jersey Shore" cast members Jeni "JWoww" Farley and Deena Nicole Cortese or to fans, just Deena.
"We [Octane] really wanted to bring a fun, exciting, safe atmosphere, maybe something that you would find in New York, Philly or Miami,"said Laura Stimson, Octane Entertainment event manager. "They won't have to drive too far, its all right here. Not to mention there are a ton of high schools in the area. It really was a kind of perfect fit."

Stimson says by listening to some of the local teenagers, Octane Entertainment knew who they had to reach out for to start the teen party.
"They're really fun girls and you can see that in the show, especially Deena," commented Stimson. "We thought they would be the most fun to have here to really get the crowd excited to interact with everybody. We knew who we wanted right from the beginning."

Parents also don't have to worry about their teens coming home late from a place they're unfamiliar with. Stimson explained that the event and Octane Entertainment has a very strict 'no tolerance' policy in regards to alcohol. They also have an onsite security team and have been working with and other emergency teams to ensure the safety of everyone.
"We want to take all the focus off the drinking aspect of the 'Jersey Shore' and spin it positively so we have a teen club atmosphere," said Stimson.
Creating a nightclub vibe for teens, the event will be complete with a professional photographer and designated areas where teens can grab energy drinks along with water and soda.
Have we mentioned the foam? Sixx Pak Entertainment will DJ all night along with cannons that shoot foam about 100 feet into the crowd, plus foam falling from the ceiling.
