Steve Hoffacker's Sales Quips

Just in time for the 4th of July weekend and all of the cookouts and baseball games that are scheduled, July is "National Hot Dog Month."

While I can't begin to eat as many hot dogs as the Nathan's champion - probably not even spread out over the whole month - I'll do my part.

Let's celebrate July by eating our share of the All-American food.

As the World War II generation ages out and passes on, we are losing the opportunity to connect with and thank those that had a real hand in saving the world from Hilter and totalitarian rule. On Monday, we recognized "D-Day" plus 67 years - the day when the Allies landed on French beaches to begin fighting a land war in Europe. At a minimum, veterans of this event are now in their mid-80s in age. Many are older.

Also on Monday, we lost a major hero of that War - U.S. Air Force Major General John R. Alison. He led a mission to create an airbase behind Japanese lines.

In 1943, he and Philip Cochran were picked to deliver British soldiers and equipment by glider behind enemy lines in Burma. The mission was a huge success.

Alison received the Silver Star, two awards of the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Purple Heart.

Let's remember our veterans while we can.

Today is the annual "National Cancer Survivors' Day" - the first Sunday in June.

To all who have overcome their battle with the disease and are currently cancer-free - congratulations. Keep smiling. You've got a lot of living to do.

To those in the midst of the fight, keep at it. There are friends, family, doctors, prayer partners , and so much more to help you.

Today is a victory day. It's a reminder that we can overcome some serious challenges.

It's not often that a weekend has two separate and special annual events in it. This weekend is such a time.

Today is the first Saturday in May so that means it's Kentucky Derby Day. Even people who don't normally follow horseracing like to watch the Derby. As far as Americana, who doesn't instantly recognize a photo of Churchill Downs when they see it?

Then tomorrow we have Mother's Day. To all the women with children, have a great Mother's Day!

This month is special because the first Saturday is followed immediatley by the second Sunday. This only happens when the month begins on a Sunday.

Easter Monday is an official holiday in Canada and in many parts of the US as well. Even where it isn't, many people have taken off work today for an extended weekend celebration.

Happy Easter Monday!

One hundred-fifty years ago today, the Confederate troops of the South fired upon the Union troops at Ft. Sumter, South Carolina, and the War Between the States - the "Civil War" - began.

Interestingly, in the Ken Burns documentary on the Civil War, the observation is made that before the War we referred to ourselves in the plural - "the United States are" - and afterward in the singular - "the United States is." It is maintained by that person in the film that a war was necessary to accomplish this change.

More lives were lost in that conflict than all other wars in our history - combined.

This is the perfect day to own a sports bar. A perfect storm like this doesn't happen very often.

First we have the number one drinking celebration day on the calendar - St. Patrick's Day. Then we have the first full day of televised NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

This is guaranteed to bring in the customers unlike any other two combination of events in history.

Cheers!
