Raleigh Dog Olympics, This Saturday!

Don't miss the Raleigh Dog Olympics, this Saturday, Sept. 11 at Moore Square in downtown Raleigh. 
From raleighdogolympics.com:

Dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds are invited to join in this year's Dog Olympics, sponsored in part by Unleashed, the Dog Store!  Read all about the events and prizes here.

Don't have a dog?  That's OK too!  You can visit with dogs from different rescues that need homes (and maybe answer one of their prayers); or just enjoy the demonstrations, including one from the Raleigh Police Department K-9 Unit. 

Dog not the competitive type?  That's OK too!  Bring him or her to get a FREE microchip from the Raleigh Kennel Club, or pick up some goodies to take to a stay-at-home pooch. 

Any way you come, you will help support local rescues, shelters, and the Student Chapter of the American Animal Hospital Association at the College of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University!

Our Partnership with the Durham Bulls & Emily K Center

Tobacco Road Sports Cafe & Durham Bulls Promotion from Amy Amra on Vimeo.

Our Durham location has been open for just over one month now and while there were some kinks to work out, things have been going well so far. Let me know if you've had a chance to stop by. We'd love to hear your feedback.

Things have been very busy! In addition to rolling out our Durham Happy Hour and Daily Specials, we have also forged a strong partnership with our neighbor, the Durham Bulls and a strong community organization, the Emily K Center. We've already had a whole section of Bulls fans win a steak dinner at Tobacco Road when Bulls player Joe Dillon managed to hit the iconic Durham Bull in a recent game. In addition, we are donating $50 for each home run hit (which is in turn matched by the Bulls) to the Emily K Center. Keep track of how much is being raised by visiting the Durham Bulls home page (scroll down and look on the left side).

Watch Machida vs. Shogun this Saturday night at Tobacco Road Sports Cafe. We are showing it at both locations (Raleigh at 222 Glenwood Avenue and Durham at 280 S. Mangum St.). Come early to get a good seat. $5 cover.
