Apparently 'Towel Power'!
I just read this morning's article in the Nanaimo News Bulletin entitled 'Towel Power has strong Nanaimo ties,' and it made me both proud & energized so I am sharing it with you too.
Butts Giraud, a Nanaimo resident & business owner (apparently of Canada's #1 imprintable activewear store - check out www.dogsear.com) is not an ordinary guy.  From CFL footballer to world belly-flop champion he says that "It's not the great ideas that count; it's acting on them." And that is exactly what he did did.  Seeing an opportunity to jump on the bandwagon of Canucks supporter fervor, he helped germinate 'Towel Power' - the symbol of Canucks' fan support for three decades.  Click here for the full story in the Nanaimo News Bulletin.  [caption id="attachment_1495" align="alignleft" width="246" caption="Butts Giraud, founder of the Dog's Ear T-shirt and Embroidery Co. and longtime Nanaimo resident, mimics the Rogers Arena statue of Roger Neilson's iconomic moment."]Butts Giraud, founder of the Dog's Ear T-shirt and Embroidery Co. and longtime Nanaimo resident, mimics the Rogers Arena statue of Roger Neilson's iconomic moment.[/caption]
