The Sweet Sight of a Sonic

Corsicana, Texas has struck it rich with the opening of a new Sonic at 2937 South Highway 287 and, with it, the unveiling of a new LOGOS sign at Exit 229. Although the Sonic website allows roadtrippers to plan their route based on their locations, the LOGOS sign makes it a little easier for those of us who are hungry and driving through Corsicana to know that a Coney and a Route 44 Slush are only moments away.

Lubbock workshop

We want to thank Norma Ritz Johnson at the Lubock Chamber of Commerce for hosting and organizing the LOGO and TODS workshop. There was a great turnout by the business community and we are making plans to significantly grow the program over the next year.

Texas Travel Association

The Unity Dinner hosted by the Travel Association was a great networking opportunity. I had a chance to meet people from all across Texas and promote our programs.

I really enjoyed meeting the Mayor of Mesquite, John Monaco. I got to learn about the perks of being a Mayor and was invited to their rodeo in April. I also had a chance to participate in the silent auction. It's like a live version of Ebay. I lost out on a glass bottom boat tour in the final seconds, but won a VIP trip to Dallas in March.

LoneStar's Training Video

LoneStar Logos is hard at work producing a training video covering all types of compliance and eligibility issues. We would like to thank a representative from TxDOT for helping present the material. The training also included a series of field visits that will be integrated into the final video.

Starbucks Coffee

This morning was fueled by one of our most loyal logo participants....

New TODS images

Thanks to our photographer Jacob Tolman for taking some outstanding photos. Since the photoshoot was done in the dead of winter, we had to add some color to the grass. You may have to travel a little more than a mile to find the Lonestar marina.
