Any improvements you make to your school, facility, playing field, or gym equipment is an important one. Especially for custom work, you want to make sure you’re getting exactly what you want and that the manufacturer understands any time constraints, budget limitations, and specific details that you have.

That’s why we think it’s important to offer a free initial on-site so we make sure we’ve spoken to you face-to-face and know exactly what it is you need.

If you would like us to schedule a visit to your facility, please fill out this form. You’ll receive a confirmation email and someone from our office will get in touch with you soon to schedule a meeting. On-site visits are available based on location and current scheduling, but rest assured, your project is very important to us.

If you have any questions before you’re ready to schedule an on-site visit, you can contact us through our website or call our office at 502.241.6010.

As an Athletic Director, you often wear many hats. You’re responsible for scheduling events, fundraising to meet budgets, managing coaches, parent and student athletes, and purchasing equipment.

We at Toadvine have compiled a guide for all of the Athletic Directors out there. We hope this guide is a resource for you to reference and will help to make your job somewhat easier. This guide covers key information such as:

• Information on regulatory changes affecting your school’s athletic seating
• Basic guidelines for safe bleacher use
• Basic guidelines for telescopic bleacher use
• A quick overview of services and products offered by Toadvine Enterprises

As always, you can contact Toadvine to learn more about any of the topics listed above or to request a quote for seating, equipment, or to schedule an on-site visit with one of our representatives.

You can download the guide here.

We’re excited to announce the launch of our new e-newsletter and want to extend an invitation for you to sign up. We’ve recently redesigned our website and joined Twitter and Facebook as ways to better communicate with schools and those in charge of making decisions within the athletic departments. This way we can better provide product information and answer any questions you have in a timely manner.

This newsletter is the next step in helping us better communicate with our customers. Our goal is to reach everyone in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee who may have questions about athletic equipment, bleachers, seating, scoreboards, or maintenance on equipment.

In this monthly newsletter, we’ll keep you abreast of the changes in our industry and yours, have some fun, and help you follow along with some of the things happening at Toadvine Enterprises. Plus, all newsletter subscribers will be offered EXCLUSIVE promotions throughout the year!

To sweeten the pot, we’re giving away four Dick’s Sporting Goods gift cards to a few of the first lucky subscribers. We’ll draw the four winners after our invitations go out, then post the winners on our blog, on Facebook and Twitter, and in our first newsletter.

If you want to register, you can do so here.

As a leading provider of athletic and gym equipment in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, part of our job is to keep everyone we do business with and any decision makers up-to-date on any new legislation or information that may affect the bidding process. That’s why we think it’s important for everyone to be aware of what the Preference for Resident Bidders law is and how it can affect them.

Stites & Harbison Attorneys explains the law in detail on their website. We encourage everyone to read about it and contact us if they have any questions or need clarification.

In short, in 2010, Kentucky enacted the “Preference for Resident Bidders” law, which says that resident bidders are to receive a matching preference if a higher-evaluated, non-resident bidder’s home state provides its own resident bidders a preference. Further, in the case of a tie between a non-resident bidder and a resident bidder, a preference is to be given to the resident bidder.

Read about the law here in more detail and how it could affect you. Again, you can contact us with any questions.
