Happy New Year! We took a break last week to enjoy the holidays and to get ready for 2015. It's going to be an exciting year for 1776 as we jump into the next round of cities for the Challenge Cup and explore some new topics in our weekly coverage. 

 

Today we have the first look at some of those weekly trends in each of our core industries, so be sure to keep reading. Also, the first few events of the year are listed below - we hope to see you there!
