Combine two or three events, especially during the “we’re suppose to be having fun, but I’m feeling a bit stressed out” holiday season, and you’ve got yourself a great way to have fun and forget about it all – at least for a while.

Recently, hundreds of thousands of fans attended the 2010 Hitmen versus Rebels hockey game. While they thoroughly enjoyed watching the sport itself, the really cool thing was more than 23,000 fans brought teddy bears with them – for charity!

Watch and see what 23 thousand teddy bears flying from the stands looks like! And remember, it was all in good fun and for a good cause

For more information about this event visit Yahoo’s sport page.

During the past week, we’ve been super busy!

A great addition to our Whole Hog Blog family is the not-for-profit website and blog for ALS of Nevada. The entire state of Nevada coverage for ALS patients and their caregivers is provided by just three individuals (and an outstanding Board of Directors). Two people cover the state, with another fine individual up in the Reno area providing assistance to those in need suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease.

We’d like to ask you to please visit the site, comment on the blog, and help get their traffic and alexa rankings rolling.

We’ve also added a blog to My Wizard Ads, an ezine advertising information blog. “Diane’s” first true business online after a several year stint as a publisher herself (weird talking about myself in the third, or would that be fourth (?) person). Day in and day out I field questions for not just the new but veteran internet marketer. Ezine advertising gives people the freedom to use other people’s lists as contact points to announce and promote the businesses and programs they join online.

Again, a visit to that new blog and your comments would be greatly appreciated, too.

Both of these new additions have do-follow linking, so your trip gains you that valued backlink in the process.

Enjoy!
