Al's Sports Shop and Miss Santee Pageant 2012

"Mr. Santee" Rob McNelis and "Big Bad" John Minto talk about the upcoming Miss Santee/Miss Teen Santee pageant and to Rob Treadwell of Al's Sport Shop about their expansion.

Well if you have lived in Santee for any length of time, you know that sells all sorts of sporting goods. But did you know that Al's can also print your message/logo on a banner as large as 20 feet tall by 20 feet wide right in there store? Well they can, and apparently recently did such a graphic.

But, before we get to Al's, I wanted to remind everyone that the for 2012 is going to be , March 2, at 6:00 p.m. at . Please come and say goodbye to our , Maria Meas and our current Miss Teen Santee, Savannah Keener, as well as welcoming in our new pageant winners. I have said it before, but I will say it again. I am so proud of both of these girls for what they have been able to accomplish in such a short period of time.

Maria adopted the cause of "Teen Suicide Prevention" bringing more public awareness to the schools and the community on what can be done to prevent such tragic loss. Savannah on the other hand while maintaining a 4.0 GPA and taking AP classes was still able to find the time to compete in multiple pageants and came in 2nd Place in the Miss Teen San Diego Pageant as well as winning a spot in the Miss Teen California Pageant. WOW, right? These two young ladies have done an excellent job in representing the City of Santee well. I for one will their enthusiasm.

Now for a little more about Al's Sport Shop. for over 33 years. They have outfitted thousands of baseball, softball, soccer, and football teams, from little leagues to semi-pro teams and everything in between. But several years ago they started to expand their trophy and screen printing business into more detailed graphic design work and man has that really taken off for them. They now have to have two separate locations (both still in Santee of course) just to be able to handle all of the orders that they take in. As Rob Treadwell said "We can print your logo on anything from an M&M to a water tower" and they have done it.

So wether you are looking to outfit your sports team with uniforms and gear, or logo wrap your SUV, go see our friends at Al's Sport Shop and let them win your business. As always we try to promote keeping our tax dollars right here where they go farther. Till next time boys and girls, That's What's Going On In Santee.
