Favorite Road Hero

The Road Connection is very serious about their "Favorite Road Hero" contest.  The grand prize is now an iPad2.  There are 2nd and 3rd prizes too and the contest is open to anyone that has concern for our roads.  I've thought about sending my photo in, but I'd rather one of my virtual friends be the big winner! 

If anything, this contest is too easy.  Take a picture of a friend or co-worker, upload it to The Road Connection's facebook  Road Hero page, and wait to see who wins on June 15, 2012.  (Read the rules via this link.)  

This is a contest that applies to an incredible amount of folks.  There are no hoops to jump through, no marathons to run, and no unusual skills required.  As I sit and type this I am wracking my brain to think of friends and their occupations.  Truck drivers, school bus drivers, mothers, police officers, construction workers, local news teams, hospital workers, teachers ~ I think the ultimate prize is that our roads are safe.

Thanks to The Road Connection for their concern and a special thanks to their sponsors, KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens, BedRug, TruXedo  Navman wireless, Liebherr, and Performance Marketing.  These businesses, large and small, along with other partners are making our world a better place.

Deserving of Attention

We updated our web site with a new page that is entitled "Deserving of Attention".  This will be a page that we will be adding to on a regular basis.

This writer has long been against suggesting that you do somebody's work.  Actually, I'm the first to say things such as, "I sat down to watch the news and if I wanted to read about it I would get a newpaper so they can stop telling me to visit their web site!" 

We meet folks all of the time that certainly deserve attention.  Perhaps you have met some too!  For that matter, you may be one of them.  We just can't meet all of the folks that should be on our new page so please contact us when you meet somebody that is willing to roll up their sleeves and do something.  We may just give you or your friends some time in the spotlight.
