Gourdough’s Public House Blowout Goodbye Party
AUSTIN, Texas - November 4, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
After 10 years serving the Austin community with unique donuts and cocktails, local landmark Gourdough's Public House, will be closing their brick and mortar location on South Lamar at the end of this week and concluding foodservice this Sunday Night, Nov. 6, 2022, with a final goodbye party. They hope everyone will join them this weekend for some incredible food, drink specials, and fond memories.
Business partners Paula Samford and Ryan Palmer said that many factors went into deciding to close the restaurant. Ryan Palmer said, "It's a bittersweet decision but with an upcoming residential project being built in the near future at the location, coupled with two years of extreme labor shortages, inflation, increased food cost and the desire to pursue other opportunities, we felt like it was the right time to conclude business after 10 happy years of food service."
Gourdough's will continue serving up their delicious donut concoctions at their original food trailer located at 1503 South 1st St., as well as opening new food trailer locations and continuing to expand their catering program.
Paula Samford said, "We have decided to go back to our food trailer roots and focus on festivals, catering events, and opening new food trailers in the outer edges of Austin to better serve the growing Austin community as a whole."
Starting this Friday through Sunday, the entire Gourdough's Public House staff would like to invite local fans to celebrate 10 incredible years of service with them, which will include: all-day brunch, spectacular food specials and cocktail specials like $5 you-call-it drinks & $2 draft beers.

Ten Athletes Named to First-Ever USA Blind Soccer Men’s National Team
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - November 3, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
The U.S. Association of Blind Athletes (USABA) today announced the 10 athletes chosen for the first-ever USA Blind Soccer Men's National Team that will begin international competition in 2023, the first step on the journey to competing at the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games. The team was selected after a four-day selection camp held Oct. 27-30 in Chula Vista, Calif. The roster features eight athletes with visual impairments along with two sighted goalkeepers.
The sport of blind soccer has been part of the Paralympic Games since 2004, but the U.S. has never fielded a team. That will all change in 2028 when Los Angeles plays host to the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the U.S. will receive an automatic entry into the blind soccer competition as the host country.
"In the next six years, the world's two biggest sporting events will happen on American soil," said USABA CEO Molly Quinn. "In 2026, the FIFA World Cup will be played throughout the U.S. for the first time in three decades. In 2028, the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games will take place in Los Angeles. It will mark the first time that L.A. has played host to the Paralympic Games."
The eight athletes with visual impairments named to the team are Noah Beckman (Columbus, Ohio), Cody Kirchner (Columbia, S.C.), Ahmed Shareef (Staten Island, N.Y.), Ricardo Castaneda (Fort Worth, Texas), Kevin Brown (Falls Church, Va.), Antoine Craig (Richmond, Va.), David Brown (Chula Vista, Calif.) and Alvaro Mora Arellano (Phoenix, Ariz.). The two sighted goalkeepers selected are Brandt Herron (Palm Coast, Fla.) and Kyle Knott (Brevard, N.C.).
"We are so excited to name the first ever USA Blind Soccer Men's National Team," said Head Coach Katie Smith. "It was incredible to see the growth of the athletes at this first national selection camp. It is truly incredible being a part of this revolutionary team and to have another Paralympic sport for blind athletes all over the country to aspire toward. I look forward to seeing how this National Team progresses toward our goal of the 2028 Paralympics."
Alternates for the USA Blind Soccer Men's National Team are John Marquez (Fort Worth, Texas) and Charles Catherine (Brooklyn, N.Y.). The team will begin competing in international friendlies in 2023.
