What an exciting weekend at Plantation Field! One of these days I definitely plan to make it out there to see the Best. Event. Ever. in person. Needless to say, all of us West Coasters were thankful for the live stream coverage from USEF Network — how else are we supposed to live vicariously? You can relive all the action on demand on USEF Network.

Weekly Business Tip from Mythic Landing Enterprises:

If you’ve just opened a business or are new to an area, you will want to scope out your local advertising opportunities and make an advertising plan that fits into your budget. It can be a good idea to commit to at least 3 to 6 consecutive months to make an impact, as people will need to see your ad a few times before starting to commit your business name to memory.
