The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one Nov 22-25, 2012. It’s Thanksgiving week in the U.S., so this is a great time to share some thankfulness. Have some good news this week? Put it in the Brag Basket.

Don’t hold back because of that word, “brag.” When you hold back, you hide your good news and accomplishments that might inspire others. Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing.
What can you do in the Brag Basket?
- introduce yourself
- share some great news from this week
- congratulate a friend
- laugh about something wonderful that you tried that failed
- applaud for each other

Thankful for a successful formula 1 weekend in Bastrop. Our office coordinated a F1 task force that included local businesses, hotels, RV parks, main street program and downtown business alliance. We met every week leading up to race weekend and put together swag bags for race fans staying in Bastrop, hosted a welcome party on Main St and provided shuttle service to and from the track. The TF sold ads in a brochure to help pay for free local shuttle service around town and a great time was had by all. Our guest were very appreciative and said they would return because of our hospitality. Amazing what happens when we work together. Happy Thanksgiving from Bastrop Texas.
Dave, congratulations to you and all of Bastrop! Great cooperation!
Grateful/Thankful for not having to go anywhere near a retailer today.
Paul, I have to agree! And this is a good chance to remind everyone to shift your shopping to local small businesses this season. You’ll find smaller crowds and make an investment in your community.
This is great idea, being thankful in such a unique way. Living a grateful life surpassess almost everything. Its even more powerful to brag the attitude of being grateful. What else is more meaningful than saying thank you by heart?
Thank you, Jimmy. I’m glad you took time to join us.
