This week was brought to you by
This week was brought to you by melting snow, falling leaves and that crazy sugar rush from consuming massive amounts of leftover Halloween candy. It was also brought to you by the gang at Albany Dodgeball. Yep, the ones that set the dodgeball world record last year. It's dodgeball season again and they want you to come play with them. You don't have to join a league or pay dues or anything like that. You just drop in on a game any Thursday night from 7:30 to 9:30 for just $10. Then you have fun. It's that easy.
The Albany Dodgeball folks are super-nice. They're also AOA supporters. Advertising on AOA is even easier than throwing a dodgeball. And it's a great way to spread the word about what your business has going on. Contact us at advertising@alloveralbany.com and we can get you started.
Here are the other folks who made your AOA information fix possible this week. Check them out when you can.
