It’s the most wonderful time of the year… college football has begun! This year, we’re kicking things off with a playbook of sorts to help make sure you have a winning season in the Golden Isles. To get in the spirit, we dropped by Catch 228 in Redfern Village, a favorite local spot to enjoy a cold beverage and some oysters while watching the games, for a photo shoot featuring Game Day fashion from local retailers. Since our publisher is a UGA grad, the Bulldawgs get home team treatment, and we’ve got your red and black covered from kids to canines! GOOOOOO DAWGS!

Coordinating photoshoots often involves calling an audible. Everything moves so quickly and can change at the last minute – it’s hard to keep it all the details straight. This month was no different with Hurricane Idalia whipping through the day before our planned shoot and Labor Day hot on her heels. And the chaos that was created when our production manager ordered the wrong size balloons will keep us in stitches for a long time. The mom-son team of Diane Mayo and Brad Campbell at Catch 228 went above and beyond to stage the restaurant with staff, food, and drinks. We even got Diane to model a Bulldawg dress from St. Simons Drug Co.! The spread they prepared for everyone was exactly right. If their hospitality on that day was any indication, game days spent at Catch 228 must all be winners.

Thanks to all the models who spent the morning getting glammed up in the UGA colors, and especially to Shannon Murray for use of her International Scout and our new favorite pup Luna. Side note: Luna “smiles” for all her photos – simply hysterical. Our crackerjack fashion team of Annaliese Kondo of Studio Pixel Pop, Mallory Sailors of Coastal Glam and EIL’s own Molly Duckworth scored another touchdown. The ladies at Maggie’s Boutique even showed off their sparkly sporty spirit by getting dressed for us when we popped by to get photos of their team and UGA gear. We hope you enjoyed EIL’s 1st & Goal Playbook. Now everybody shout it loud together – Go Dawgs, Sic ‘em – WHOOT WHOOT WHOOT!!
