LET THE CELEBRATION BEGIN!

Many Irish traditions surrounding St. Patrick’s are folklore, but for those of us who are fortunate enough to live in Dublin, Georgia, St. Patrick’s is an opportunity for the community to come out for celebration.

In Dublin, St. Patrick’s is celebrated throughout the month of March with plenty of family fun.   Special St. Patrick’s events include Bridge and Canasta Tournaments, a Barbeque Cook-off, (hot-air) Balloon Fest, Kite Flying Jamboree, Lunch with Lucky Leprechaun and the Shamrock crawl.  And that’s just week one!  The list goes on with Super Saturday scheduled for March 19.  This is the highlight of the month when thousands of people will gather in Dublin for events like the Leprechaun Road Race, Parade, and Arts & Crafts Festival, among others, that will be going on throughout the day and into the evening.   

Contact Curry Companies for a complete list of scheduled events so you can make your plans to enjoy good family fun where Irish Eyes are Smiling.

Looking Forward to 2011

The new year is well underway with 2010 in the past.   Last year was definitely a year of challenges leaving many people anticipating the new year… fresh starts, new beginnings. 

It’s great to have a positive attitude.  Better economic times WILL come.  In the meantime, what an opportunity to  polish skills, learn new things, and strengthen accountability practices to create new and improve existing relationships, both personal and business.   Last year, a combination of these was put into action prior to and with the launch of Curry Companies’ website.  The site will continue to be a work in progress providing visitors with a wealth of information pertaining to what Curry does best—Insurance, Construction, and Real Estate.  In addition, the Helpful Links provides contact information for area attorneys, banks, city governments, hospitals, schools, and even veterinarians, just to  name a few.  Most recently added is a Video Library that answers just about any real estate-related question ever asked. And, in keeping with the times, Click to Call and Click to Text features are now available from the site, and you can join Curry Real Estate on Facebook and Twitter. 

Curry Companies has come out of its comfort zone and is embracing technology.  However, no one can dismiss the need for face-to-face meetings for building stronger relationships and connections.  Therefore, as Curry Companies continues into 2011 providing the technology people have come to expect, our door will always remain open, and customers and clients will continue to be warmly greeted with friendly smiles and a polite, “How may we help you?”.
