From now until January 30, 2012, if you order any two indoor basketball, volleyball, or wresting scoreboards with a wireless package, you’ll receive a free 8′×2′ sponsor sign with your school name and color.

The sponsor sign is valued at $350. If you’re in the market for a new indoor scoreboard, now is a great time to seriously consider buying. You’ve got until the end of January to take advantage of this scoreboard special.

Thanksgiving is a busy time in our markets. High school, middle school, and college athletics couldn’t be at a busier time. The two largest sports are overlapping for a bit as they do every year. So when it comes to athletic equipment, scoreboards, and athletic seating, things are hopping. For the other markets we serve like auditorium or church seating, it can be a busy time as well. With things moving indoors, churches and theaters are preparing for busy times.

With all this increased activity, we think it’s a perfect time to step back and celebrate Thanksgiving.

It’s time to watch rivalry week in football, or to watch your favorite college basketball teams kick off the year. It’s time to watch pro football move toward playoff time. It’s time to support your high school basketball teams, or continue spurring on your football team if they made the playoffs. It’s a time to enjoy a large meal with family and friends. It’s a time to relax and rest. It’s a time to get a jump on Christmas shopping or to even put up the tree.

During all this time, take a moment or two and reflect on all you have to be thankful for. Let’s call it a grateful list. We’ll start by saying we’re thankful for you, our community that chooses us for all your athletic equipment, scoreboards, and seating needs.

From all of us at Toadvine Entreprises, Happy Thanksgiving!

High school football is wrapping up over the next three weeks. It’s playoff time, which means your stadium and your scoreboard get a rest. If your team is still alive, then good luck. If you’re just curious which teams are still alive, then this link will let you search all of Kentucky football classes. While we’re at it, here’s a link for Tennessee, Indiana, and Ohio. We aim to please.

A lot of action has taken place during the season, and if your scoreboard has taken some dings, we’re here to help. Our team at Toadvine Enterprises, in partnership with Nevco, can fix what’s broken. If you’re just ready to replace your existing football scoreboard or soccer scoreboard, then we can help with that as well. Fill out our request a quote form on our website, and someone from our team will be in touch within 24 hours, probably sooner. We still use the telephone too, so ring us at 502-241-6010 if that’s your style.

While it’s easy to put off repairs with basketball season upon us and the focus shifting indoors, don’t wait. Check that puppy off your to do list this month.

Speaking of basketball season, we do indoor scoreboards as well for basketball and volleyball. If you’re in a bind and need a repair or a new one before the season gets rocking, contact us today.

Can you believe it’s almost time for basketball season? While most of the college programs had their midnight madness a few Fridays ago, high school teams are practicing hard and gearing up for the season.

Speaking of basketball season, how’s your gym looking? Basketball season is the time when gymnasiums—and bleachers especially—see the most traffic, and wear and tear. Fans pack the stands for both boys’ and girls’ games each week, so it’s crucial that your bleachers are in good condition.

If you think it’s time to get your bleachers inspected before the season officially begins, check out Vine & Branch, our maintenance division. Our maintenance and safety inspection program handles all of your indoor and outdoor seating and equipment inspections. Vine & Branch is also fully staffed with manufacturer-certified service technicians to ensure the safety of your seating. You can fill out the maintenance form on our website to learn more and get the process started.

Need new bleachers entirely? We can help with that too. We just completed a bleacher installation at DeSales High School in Louisville, KY. This was a very large job, with three separate banks of bleachers. Whether your project is large like this or smaller, contact us for a quote or to get the process started.

In case you haven’t seen or heard, there’s a new trend in high school and middle school athletics, VIP seating. It’s like what you see in college: a select section of the stands is devoted to VIP seating, with season tickets being sold for each seat.

The trend we’re starting to see in high school athletics—which is also a great fundraiser for the school—is installing a section of VIP seats and selling season tickets for these seats at a higher rate than normal admission to the game.

Toadvine Enterprises is very grateful and appreciative of our customers and their support over the years. We wanted to show our appreciation by giving back, so we’re launching our Good Samaritan Program. The mission of our Good Samaritan Program is to promote benevolence and compassion and encourage others to give back.

Here’s how it works: Whenever a school purchases VIP seating from Toadvine, we will buy two season tickets from that school to help with the fundraising efforts. The tickets will be given back to the school, and the school can then award the tickets to a good samaritan in their community. The good samaritan could be a teacher, parent, fan, or someone else deserving—it’s up to the school to decide.

This is where it gets even more fun. We’ve be created a Good Samaritan page on our website and will publish a “Good Samaritan of the week” post along with a picture, name of the school, and short write-up on that page.

We’re also encouraging you to get involved by posting pictures and stories about the good samaritan winner on our Facebook page.

All schools in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Southern Ohio can take part in the Good Samaritan Initiative, and we look forward to sharing your stories each week.
