Sip & Swine BBQ Festival 2017: Success!

The second annual Sip & Swine BBQ Festival took place at Coolray Field over the first weekend of March, and we were so excited to be the title sponsor of the event! Sip & Swine is a two-day BBQ festival and competition, and the goal of the event—besides eating some great BBQ—is to fundraise for the Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter.

Home of Hope is a shelter that provides housing, food, and care for children and their single mothers who are in need of a place to stay. All of the proceeds from Sip & Swine go to the Home of Hope. We were so happy to be involved in an event that benefits such a worthy cause! It was inspiring to see all of the businesses and patrons who came out to support Sip & Swine and raise money for the Home of Hope.

Why is a home inventory important for your home insurance?

Okay, we get it. Taking a home inventory is hardly an exciting way to spend a weekend. Walking around, writing things down on a clipboard…yeah, maybe not the most fun thing to do on a Saturday.

How can you prevent a car break-in?

Ah, what would we do without our cars? They’re faithful. Reliable (usually). An extension of ourselves. We spend hours upon hours in our cars—stuck in traffic, commuting to work, going grocery shopping, running errands, meeting friends. The amount of time we spend with our cars makes them become part of our personal space. We care about our cars.

So if someone were to ever break into your car, you’d feel violated. Betrayed. Unsafe. That car is your space. It belongs to you and it’s one of your best friends. It just happens to be a best friend that you’re required to leave unattended for hours at a time since you can’t exactly bring your car into the office or house with you. Someone breaking into your car and rifling through your belongings is as personal as if they broke into your home. It would be a nightmare.
