“We need to take walks for our health,”explained Peg Higgins.  “The labyrinth behind the Trinity Episcopal church was just close enough to be an easy walk, but more interesting than just a spin around on the street.  Here you could find a place to meditate…it was quiet and nature was all around you.”

Last fall, the labyrinth was falling into disrepair and it was hard to walk the path.  Peg asked the rector, Tamsen Whistler, is we could do some lawn care around it.  She readily agreed and even came out a couple days to help us locate parts of the path that were over grown.  Peg spent many a day with the edger and weed wacker.  Today, the bricks of the labyrinth are easy to see.  The pastor says she has noticed more people using it.

Here is a slide show of the site at 318 S Duchesne Drive in  the back of the church.

Here is a Google satellite Map from an ariel view. View Larger Map

May need to adjust before you can view it! Also, it is three dimensional so you will have to play with the dials.  It will take a little time for the focus to happen.  Be patient, it is worth it!!

Our personalized gifts can overshadow the largest holiday present! People love seeing their names and pictures in print. Using our services at Get Promoted will definitely make you the gift giving star.  Here is a catalog that you can browse that will give you some great personalized ideas:  Click here so see our products.

We can take pictures by mail or in person. They can be scanned and returned to you. The best results come from transferring the pictures to us electronically. We can do some touchup work on them and resize them easily.

Sublimation can not be done on navy and black.  Photo gifts should be done on white or grey for best results.  The ink is rather transparent and whatever color is on the shirt becomes part of the design.  If you are using text,  you are less limited.

This year, we have two new kinds of shirts:

Insect repellent shirts from Zorrel.  This picture shows a jacquard training tee in safety green.  It is also available in navy, white, and black.  Polos are also available in the insect repellent shirt.  T-shirts come in several colors, but can not be sublimated.

Mosquitos and other pest will not light and bite!

Another shirt that is catching some attention is the all over sublimation t-shirts.    Imagine that the whole shirt is your palette.  Great for special events, business marketing, and sports teams.

This shirt was white, but dye sublimation makes a great change

Contact us for info on these two new items.  Both are capable of dye sublimation printing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 A sublimation transfer is usually done on 100% poplyester for the best quality.  If you get a sublimation print done on cotton, you will lose color quickly.  The sublimation dye is extremely durable and will keep a rich color for many, many washings.  We always say that the shirt will wear out before the colors lose their vibrancy under normal washing conditions.

To Purchase:

Insect repellent shirts

All Over Sublimation are available at Shopping cart, Website, or call 636-688-6240 for other options.  We have several way to serve you.

Golf can be a difficult game to learn, particularly for kids. In a lot of sports, modified equipment is used to help kids learn in a positive and enjoyable way. Unfortunately this often is not the case with golf; the first experience a kid usually has is with a full-size, heavy adult club in a attempt to hit a golf ball right off the ground, and we all know that hitting that golf ball is still hard after years of trying, so what hope has the kid got?

Birdieball is an excellent teaching tool for golf instruction

It is crucial that young players use appropriate equipment and today thankfully there are plenty of junior specific clubs available. But having correctly fitted clubs still doesn’t address the difficulty of hitting a normal golf ball, getting it airborne, and receiving meaningful and enjoyable feedback from the experience. Enter the BirdieBall …

With a slightly higher center of gravity, the BirdieBall is easier to hit into the air than a normal golf ball, so is very rewarding for beginning golfers. When used in conjunction with the StrikePad, the effect is even more pronounced and the junior just starting out will have a very enjoyable and meaningful introduction to the game of golf and the golf swing.

The other great benefit of BirdieBall is its limited flight of about 35-40yards This means that school golf is a real possiblity and junior golf clinics can be conducted in local parks.  BirdieBall is safe and enjoyable way to learn about and improve at golf.

School golf programs are now available for every school from primary through to secondary. With the BirdieBall, you can safely conduct meaningful golf lessons for your students on the oval, soccer pitch, tennis courts, and even indoors.

Birdieball is the world's leading alternative golf instruction equipment supplier

Special Prices for Schools and Youth Programs

Accessories that can be packaged with the Birdieball can make this an ideal backyard game.  With each set, an instruction booklet is issued with many creative ways to use the equipment.  Get Promoted has additional game information available on their website.

Strikepad:  Allows a lift to the Birdieball that allows a divot to be taken behind the ball, has a golf head fac on the mat to show proper club alignment during the swing, enables player to use the equipment on hard surfaces like parking lots and streets.

Portable Targets:  Collapsible targets can simulate golf holes and add a game element.  The portability, again, makes golf an activity for your backyard, the school yard, the neighborhood park, or the city street

A three or six hole set can fit into one duffel bag for easy storage.  An entire nine hole golf course can fit in a duffel with rollers for ease in use.

Velocity tees can be used to improve your golf swing when using woods.  Tee Markers are used during a game for placement.  Tape measures can be used for competitive game and skill improvement.  Nets can be used for target practice with the balls.

For added entertainment, a giant inflatable ball target can be used.  Kids really enjoy the added entertainment value of the giant target.  Inventor John Breaker did a YMCA teaching event and said that the target was a definite piece to keeping the kids involved and eager to play.  Rental right now is $200.00 for your event.  Purchase for $1299.00.

Kids love using the Birdieball Inflatable

Get Promoted is very willing to help you fund raise for the Birdieball Sets, so if you need to use the Giant Inflatable to help you raise the money, we will work with you to facilitate that.
We love Birdieball.  We think it can bring a lot to a child.  We like the idea of families playing together and think this little white “napkin ring” can make that happen.  We love the idea of playing Birdieball in the subdivision with a hole in every yard.  We like the creativity of street golf and making it up as you go….
Birdieball anytime, anywhere, any age, any ability…
