Although Toadvine Enterprises is known mostly for providing athletic equipment, maintenance services, and stadium seating, we want people to think of us when they’re looking for more than those things.

We can also service businesses and organizations that have nothing to do with athletics. Think churches for a minute. One of our manufacturers, Seating Concepts, provides auditorium seating for many different purposes. Their comfortable auditorium chairs have been installed in a number of different churches and worship centers, and come in a variety of designs to match existing interiors.

Seating Concepts also provides seating for places like cinemas and theaters, civic venues, and stadiums and arenas.

I urge you to check out Seating Concept’s product page for photos, details, and free downloads providing more information. You can also contact us directly if you have any questions or would like a quote on these products.

This summer has flown by! In just a few weeks school will be starting up again and we all know what that means... football season is here!

Football and soccer, two fall sports that always get a lot of attention, also require a lot of maintenance, which we can help with. If you find yourself needing additional football or soccer equipment, please contact Toadvine. We’ll make sure you get the equipment you need in time for the first game of the season.

Toadvine also offers maintenance and safety inspections for all of your indoor and outdoor seating and equipment. Vine & Branch, our maintenance program, is fully staffed with manufacturer-certified service technicians to ensure the safety of your seating and can provide:

• A thorough visual inspection of your facility and/or designated equipment.
• A full listing of defective equipment or upgrade requirements.
• A written report will be provided to you upon completion of the inspection, noting any safety and/or standard violations, and recommendations for corrective action.

It’s back to school time! If you need maintenance services or sporting equipment before the big day, please contact Toadvine today.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on any new projects we have coming up and any future trade shows we’ll be attending.

Here are a few pictures from the show. See you next time!

Scoreboards have come a long way, and Nevco has lead the way in the scoreboard arena. The first scoreboard model, manufactured in 1934, consisted of a white oak cabinet with a glass dial clock and glass disks for the scores. Since that time, Nevco has been a leader in the transformation of the scoring and display industry. For over 75 years, Nevco scoreboards have been manufacturing integrated display and scoring solutions, from your basic scoreboard to your most complex video display. Nevco’s advancements in LED message centers and video display boards have helped them to become the largest privately held scoreboard company.

No matter the competition level or budget, Nevco and Toadvine Enterprises can give you the perfect scoring solution to enhance the viewing pleasure. Or, if you are looking for a sponsorship revenue generator, we can help with that as well. Our sponsor signs and message centers have already helped hundreds generate revenue for their team sports. The popularity of the message center allows for an unlimited opportunity of sponsorship ads, team statistic display, player statistic display, and more.

Whether you are deciding to put in a new scoreboard or updating an existing scoreboard, check out how Toadvine and Nevco can help you reach new possibilities.

Porter Athletic has achieved GREENGUARD Children & School Certification on their entire line of wall pads and divider curtains. The GREENGUARD Children & School Certification is among the toughest emissions standards in the world. It requires products to be tested annually and monitored quarterly for over 10,000 different chemicals.

GREENGUARD Certified products are important in athletic facilities because of the extensive time children spend in these facilities for sports and recreational activities. Children are more susceptible to hazardous chemicals in products than adults. The GREENGUARD Certification allows for a safe playing environment for children who are in the developmental stages of their life.

To learn more about what it means to be GREENGUARD certified, or to learn more about the certification itself, visit the website.

To see a full lineup of the GREENGUARD products offered by Porter, please call Toadvine at 502-241-6010 or check out our website to see how we can help to make the environment safe and reliable for the children of tomorrow.
