Helping out Fathers & Family Expo for #TBT

25 Apr

I was able to stop by the Fathers & Family expo this weekend to support ThinkBigTopeka. I met up with Brendan Jenson this afternoon with one of our Topeka loves Google signs. We had an outline of our sign for kids to color on, we’re also taking names to add to our email list. We’re pretty certain that Google is going to give Topeka a site visit, we have several big things lined up for when we get that call. We’re also actively trying to clean up the parks and other green places in Topeka by supporting events like Takeover/Makeover. I more or less just chit-chatted with Brendan the whole time, I had to pack up and head over to Washburn University to pick up Leo and Alissa at a volleyball game. My wife’s sister coaches for Seminole State volleyball. Speaking of Washburn, I guess the great Dick Vital is coming to WU. Should be a good time, I’ll have Leo so I won’t really have time to make it, but if you’re in the Topeka area, I would suggest checking it out.

Here are some pics from the Fathers & Family show. (click for more detail)

This is the lady that was next to us, Tya Issitt, she was displaying Scentsy, it smelled pretty good.

ThinkBigTopeka (TBT) is still going strong, we’ve totally revamped the website. We’re in the process of implementing a policy to filter out some of the groups/organizations and suggestions coming through to us. We’re not interested in making money through TBT, we’re also not interested in any type of political gain. We only want to improve Topeka and make the best place possible for our children with or without Google.

What did you do this weekend, hope it was a good one.

    We’re all very happy on April 1st, we actually knew about it at 9pm the night before. :)

    It would be great if Google did make it to Topeka. It was quite funny back on April 1st to load up a Google page and find a Topeka page instead, I was certainly surprised to say the least.
