addition to Global Properties I, five other Global subsidiaries
will serve a broad range of functions for the Independence project.

attractive location for us and the CHL. We are extremely confident

Citizens of Independence.� Richard Kozuback, president and chief
executive officer of Global Entertainment Corporation, stated, �We
are pleased with the announcement today that we were selected for a
second time within the last 30 days for the development of a
multi-purpose events center. Our selection by Independence,
Missouri follows closely the announcement of our major role in the
development of a multi-purpose events center for Allen, Texas.
These are two great communities that we look forward to working
with for many years on facility projects to the mutual satisfaction
of all. �The arenas planned for Independence and Allen are
characteristic of the cross-revenue generating, multi-million
dollar projects we are currently presenting to mid-sized
communities that fit our profile in a variety of markets throughout
