Lead In!
 
It's March Madness time! And, this year, through Friends of Take The Lead, Lead On will host a Take the Lead Bracket Competition, coordinated through Lead On - and CBS Sports. This is your opportunity to pick the NCAA� Division I Men's Basketball Championship winners AND donate to Take The Lead. The lucky winner will take home a $250 gift card from Cabelas, courtesy of Tommy and Merry Jeanne Milner.
 
It's a fun game, and I can personally attest that ANYONE can win, regardless of your knowledge (or in my case, lack thereof) of basketball rules, records, standings, etc. Eyes right  for more information, and start studying so YOU will be the lucky winner of the FIRST ANNUAL FRIENDS OF TAKE THE LEAD NCAA March Madness Game. Let's have some fun and score some dollars for Take The Lead 
 
Getting back to business, please note the upcoming booths and events below.  In particular, the dates for the Real Southern Hospitality event were incorrect in February L.O. See below for the correction. 

 

It seems the upcoming booth and event list grows almost daily! We,at TTL are so grateful for the outpouring of support throughout the country. MANY THANKS!

 

Best to all,

Anecdotes From The Field
 
New-Found Talent Discovered at Richmond Event

Multiple reports from the Race to the Finish event relate the remarkable race driving skills of AKC judge Lydia Hutchinson.   

Lead On has acquired inside info describing Mrs. Hutchinson, while driving the simulated race car, as having "shamed several of the younger drivers with her years of experience, determination, and drive to WIN at all cost. Lydia was seen slamming several of the other younger drivers to the rail, forcing through the pack to victory!"
