“OTRD constantly puts the Crofoot Ballroom in the face of new markets. We bring OTRD into both strategic planning and implementation. Sometimes they supply the extra troops to carry off a campaign… other times the field command… in either case, we consider them key players on our team.”  Blair McGowan, Owner, The Crofoot Ballroom
