The New Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center

 Over the last month or so I have been working with my new friends at the Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center. They moved from a location in Loomis to a brand new, much larger facility in Penryn (still within the Loomis Basin), that will help them care for up to 40 horses in a state-of-the-art facility, including a giant x-ray machine, ultra-sound, new barn/stable area, lots of outdoor space for horses that need to exercise and even a few intensive care unit rooms. The facility is a true hospital for horses and the staff is all great as well. I got to meet the horses, see foals (baby horses) that were just a few days old, and bring out lots of media to share the news to the community and the many horse owners in the region. From the trade publications like Stable Management to The Sacramento Bee and Sacramento Business Journal to the Loomis News and Patch and every TV station (KCRA, Good Day Sacramento, News10), the coverage was spectacular and went well beyond the clients expectations. I will continue to work with them and their advertising agency (who referred them to me for media relations support), C2 Media Services, over the next few months as they have more educational events and help more horses heal.

Before the event I got donuts for everyone who would be on camera (and me) at Donut Star. During the event they BBQ'd hamburgers and hot dogs, and after the event I headed to Costco for a celebratory hand-dipped ice cream bar with almonds, a great way to cool off for just $1.50.

Typo

Image
We all make typos and while I was on the Los Angeles Times Web site this morning I saw this one and had to share. Although it really would have been a political breakthrough for President Obama to visit Iran , he actually visited Iraq (note: the LA Times did correct the typo within an hour and when you clicked through to the full story it was always correct).

Roseville Galleria - Rebuilding Together

Image
Just a quick post to show pictures of the newly reopened Roseville Galleria (as you may recall I helped break the news on Sunday ). Only 41 stores open today, although about 70 have permits that basically say they can open when they are ready.  A few more, including Banana Republic will be opening tomorrow.  In speaking with a sales associate at GAP, they confirmed my suspicions that the person that started the fire (okay "suspected" arsonist) did not come out wearing GAP clothing as he originally claimed.  It was most likely Anchor Blue or a similar store.  The mall did have a smell a little bit like smoke and cleaning products, but overall was clean and comfortable.  The wall that has been constructed to block off one section includes quotes that were written on the Galleria's Facebook page .
