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).

Thank You Ryan Harrow, Lorenzo Brown and CJ Leslie!

First of all, let me state that I am a Carolina girl. Nonetheless, I want to extend my sincerest thank you to CJ Leslie, Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown for signing with NC State for the upcoming basketball season. Why? Because despite my own basketball loyalties, my husband is a Pack man and NCState Basketball is all that I've been hearing about for what seems likes every second of the past few months. Quite frankly, I'm thrilled that it has not all been for nothing. The dream team that my husband will not shut up about has come together. If I had suffered through his obsession only to have the final piece of the puzzle fall through (CJ Leslie's signing), it would have meant additional grief in the form of a then hopeful, now bitter and pouting spouse.

Thank you to Ryan and Lorenzo for making the decision early and taking that weight off my husband's chest. I'm not sure that he could have handled the additional anxiety. Thank you to CJ for making the decision late and making this victory over "evil" (as Julius Hodge recently referred to this triumph over Kentucky on 99.9 The Fan radio) that much sweeter.

Thank you also to Sidney Lowe and the rest of the Pack for forming the core that enabled this to happen. Tracy Smith, my husband looks forward to watching your senior year. Thank you to all those State fans that keep posting mix videos of your new NCState team members. But, please stop. If I have to listen to or be forced to watch another one and fake enthusiasm for CJ's amazing 360 dunk, there is no telling what I'll do.
