Welcome Virginia Fans
We were so impressed with the show of class at Notre Dame in 2006, that we wanted to spread the word. We also wanted to make it easy for businesses to implement and so we created a few game day tools for businesses. One of them – ready-to-go welcome signs.
This weekend, Carolina plays the Cavaliers from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia.
We suggest that businesses in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area post welcoming signs in the door, windows and/or counter tops. Here is one of the signs we’ve created: Read more
Are you ready for game day?
Do you run a business in a college town?
When it comes to football – does game day mean anything to you?
If game day means nothing to you, stop reading and go to this page.
If you are still reading, then you are probably ready for game day. But it might be a different game than the one I’m ready for. I’m a Tar Heel fan so the information below is about Carolina. If you aren’t a Carolina fan, I encourage you to keep reading and just substitute the appropriate names and numbers and colors for your team.

It’s Native American Day
In recognition of Native American Day, I thought I’d pass along this favorite from our quote library…wise words from a Native American Elder who described his own inner struggles in this manner:
“Inside of me there are two dogs.
One of the dogs is mean and evil.

When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, Read more
