The Year of Small Towns
In our part-time state of Alabama, 2010 was declared The Year of Small Towns & Downtowns. Before the year gets away from us, we hope to visit at least one of the upcoming events being celebrated in these special places – events like A Gathering & Fish Fry Celebrating Fiddler Charlie Stripling on Nov. 13 in Belk. That sounds cool. Folks say Stripling was Alabama’s greatest old-time fiddler, with recordings that date back to the 1920s and ’30s. Read more about him here. And while we’re on the subject of small towns, here are a few of our favorite town names from around the state:
Arab Arbacoochee Autaugaville Bayou La Batre
Boaz Clayhatchee Choctaw Demopolis
Emelle Fishpond Flomaton Gasgue
Gees Bend Hatchechubbee Loachapoka Eufaula
Muscadine Naheola Natchez
Nauvoo Ohatchee Opelika Ozark
Pushmataha Romulus Wedowee Wetumpka
We are craazzzzeeee for
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter.
The Chattahoochee Heritage Project
While in Auburn last week for a board meeting, we learned about The Chattahoochee Heritage Project, a program that spotlights the people, places and culture of the Chattahoochee River Valley. The site was developed by AU students, faculty and friends and is affiliated with the Department of Communication & Journalism. Thanks to professor Ric Smith and the entire team for coming up with this idea and for sharing these wonderful stories. Oh, and be sure to check out the story and video on folk artist Butch Anthony of Seale, Ala., who’s been featured on the History Channel’s “American Pickers” (one of Mike D.’s favorite shows).
Commercial Break
We try not to talk too much business here. Pretty sure you get enough of that stuff all day long. But we are excited to share the news that our PR firm has been named agency of record for Farm Rich. And since this new client has “farm” in its name, we figure it’s just fine to give them a nice plug here. Learn more about their products at Farm Rich Fun, follow them on Twitter, or “like” them on Facebook. First up, a really cool promotion we’ll be doing in Cincinnati starting at the end of this month…then we’ll roll into 2011 handling national PR for this great brand. (Their famous cheese sticks and the mini quesadillas are our kids’ favorites so far.) So friends, next time you pass your grocery’s freezer cases, please look for the Farm Rich logo and buy plenty! 🙂
