CHILLICOTHE - When Glitter Mom co-owners Mid Bowdle and Nypashia Dyre started a fundraiser for a softball league, neither owner imagined the success it would eventually lead to as they opened a second store in Chillicothe.
At the time, Dyre's husband was working with Bowdle to get the league up and running, and the pair started working together to make glitter shirts as a fundraiser.
"When the fundraiser was over, we kept getting calls and messages for people trying to order, and so we made the decision to make it into a business," said Dyre.

These Technologies Could Hold Back Business Travel Indefinitely - WSJ
Only I'm not in Oregon. I'm still stuck at home, on the opposite coast, relying—like many of us—on an ever-growing array of tools that allow me to do my job remotely. In this case, I'm getting a tour of Arcimoto 's factory via FaceTime. Mr. Frohnmayer is carrying "me" around on an iPhone, pointing things out, getting me up close to machinery, parts and half-finished vehicles, and fielding my questions. For me, it turns out to be a reasonable facsimile of actually being there.
This is how Mr. Frohnmayer and his team have been giving factory tours to investors, customers and suppliers since the pandemic began. It works well enough that Mr. Frohnmayer wants to keep doing it after the pandemic ends, because it comes with no loss in productivity due to travel days.
