The Team Goes
on a Carrabba's Restaurant Promotional Tour
As Carrabba's
Team Blythe headed north from the World Championships, the
team took time out along the way for a promotional tour with
the race boat. Our first stop was Naples, Florida where Manny
Vegas, owner of the Naples Carrabba's greeted us with open
arms. The race boat was proudly displayed in front of the
restaurant in plain view for all passerbys to see. The restaurant
is strategically located on the main highway, Tamiami Trail,
in Naples. The staff took time out to hop aboard the boat
for a photo session and for some good down home fun. The team
signed autographs and handed out give aways for the fans.
Thanks again Manny and congratulations on the new job as Joint
Venture Partner!
Next stop
for the race team was Orlando, where the team visited two
local Carrabba's. First they stopped by to see Doug Parrish,
owner of the Orlando Carrabba's. His staff came out to see
the boat on display in front of the store. They had the opportunity
to board the boat and learn more about offshore racing first
hand. The store is located on Sand Lake Road where many passerbys
could see the boat on display. Again fabulous food and great
hospitality provided by Doug and his fun loving staff. The
team signed autograph pictures and had team swag for fans.
Next stop
was a trip to see Todd Ward, owner of Orlando Universal Studios.
Our timing did not permit to us be there during regular business
hours. However we were still able to display the boat and
have a photo shoot in front of Todd's door on Thanksgiving
Day. Next time we plan to arrive during regular business hours
and make a big showing out of it to make up for the bad timing.

The
boat was parked outside the Naples Carrabba's and many people
stopped by to get a close up view of this high performance
race boat.
Some of the staff from the Orlando
Carrabba's board the boat and look ready to race!
