PR Newswire and BusinessWire News RushNet Inc RSHN:OTC Summer Fancy Food Show Yields New Sales for Apple Rush(TM). BusinessWire 9:10 AM ET RushNet's (Pink Sheets:RSHN) appearance at the Summer Fancy Food Show, just held in New York City July 8-10, has yielded new distribution opportunities for its Apple Rush(R) and e-water(R) brands. Attended by over 15,000 industry executives, this trade show draws from all over the U.S., Europe and countries around the world. A major event, it is known for showcasing products that are trendsetting and of premium quality.
The company's corner booth was once again a popular destination for the many retailers and distributors seeking more healthful and Organic beverages. In light of the rapidly changing landscape of the beverage aisle and a growing number of acquisitions and buy-out rumors, Apple Rush(TM) and e-water(R) were able to present themselves as stron g and viable modern brands that drew a good amount of interest from distributors looking for the future of beverage products.
The solid interest from both regional distributors and retailers brought immediate results. RushNet was able to consummate a deal that it had been working on with the chain of 6 Treasure Island Stores in Metro-Chicago. The city's premier upscale grocery chain agreed to retail and promote Apple Rush(TM) in all its stores, and placed an opening order at the show.
RushNet had substantial discussions with two local New York Distributors who, between them, service all of the city's boroughs. One of these will be receiving its first order of Apple Rush(TM) next week, and that distributor will be restocking the first account for Apple Rush in New York City, Eat on 8 eight. The popular restaurant is located at 601 West 26th St., on the 8th floor naturally, and is in the "Emulsion District" where the city's renowned and bustling modeling agencies and photographers are found. The restaurant account, now serving the 6 flavors of Organic Apple Rush(TM) Sparkling 100% Juice, was opened by Robert Corr, RushNet CEO, with product set aside from the Fancy Food Show. Robert Corr plans on returning to New York early in August to launch Apple Rush(TM) and e-water(R) with the newly appointed distributors and open hundreds of accounts
Robert Corr stated, "This is the third of the Fancy Food shows we have attended and it's obvious that this one was definitely the pinnacle of the group. New York City is a market that we have long wanted to develop. I believe that the ultimate success for any beverage will be greatly affected by your penetration and acceptance in this market. I am excited about developing all of the contacts that we have made, and am looking forward to making our New York debut a success. Overall, I continue to see many opportunities for our products throughout the U.S. and in New York from the solid interest at this show."

Last Update: 10:00 AM ET Jul 13, 2007
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Jul 13, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RushNet's (Pink Sheets:RSHN) e-water brand is a Co- Sponsor of the St Francis Hospital Pro-Am Cycling Race this Saturday July 14, to be held in historic Blue Island, IL. The race, which runs from 8:45 am - 5:45 pm, is supervised by the International Cycling Committee and is sanctioned by the USA Cycling Organization in Colorado Springs, CO. http://www.usacycling.org/
The race is expected to draw 350 local and International participants as well as over 10,000 spectators. This series of races are considered the proving ground, and have become the qualifying process, for both professional and amateur cyclists who aspire to compete in the Tour de France and the Olympics. The races draw the best up and coming US and International cyclists, and included the renowned Lance Armstrong a few years ago. http://www.internationalcycling.com/
RushNet, Inc. will be providing e-water(R) to all of the racers in the event, at the Pre-Race Banquet as well as being the Primary Water sold on race day. All proceeds from the sales of e-water(R) will be donated to the Main Street Blue Island Civic Organization who is the organizing host of the event. Information on that organization can be viewed at: http://www.mainstreetblueisland.com/ . RushNet, Inc. will have its event tent at a key location in the race where it will sell e-water(R) as well as educate consumers on the enhanced water's great benefits.
Robert Corr, RushNet CEO, commented, "We were given a great opportunity when e-water(R) was solicited by the Race Committee to become a Co-Sponsor. We have long been an active member in this community by sponsoring; a Fire Fighter fund raiser basketball game against the 1985 Super Bowl Champion Chicago Bears, the Blue Island School District 130 Public Schools Bike-a-Thon and Healthy Eating programs. We are proud to be a part of this historic town http://www.internationalcycling.com/venue/blueisland.shtml and will continue to contribute to making this a better community."
Robert Corr stated further, "This race will be a good barometer for e-water(R). I have long known that it's ideal for those who are highly active like the racers who will require optimum hydration and electrolyte replacement. The spectators who will be exposed to hours of warm temperatures on race day can benefit from e-water too. The Saturday event will give our brand the exposure it needs in this market, and reach out to the cyclist racing community. We'll continue to seek out similar opportunities to create more awareness of the great benefits of e-water."

Yes, more awesome exposure. This is exactly what we need, along with the earlier mentioned new sales. I don't really understand the low volume today though?

RushNet's e-water(R) Gains New Following at Int. Cycling Classic Tuesday July 17, 9:15 am ET
BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets: RSHN - News) and its e-water® brand successfully reached out to Professional and Amateur Cyclists with its Co-Sponsorship of the International Cycling Classic's Blue Island leg last Saturday. Part of July's Superweek(TM), the Pro Races attract top male and female riders from across the United States and more than twenty foreign countries to compete in the longest-running multi-day bicycle race in the United States. ADVERTISEMENT
More than 3000 bottles of e-water® were distributed free to the racers and sold to the many spectators. The Pro Racers especially liked the restorative and hydrating qualities of e-water®, and it was by far the water of choice with virtually all of the racers. Many racers asked for extra bottles to take with them and inquired about making e-water® a part of their training and racing programs. Superweek(TM), is a featured event on the prestigious National Racing Calendar (NRC) and provides a ranking system for elite-level cyclists with its challenge of 17 straight days of races longer than 60 miles throughout Eastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Each of the Pro Racers with a podium finish (top three) was given a case of e-water® as part of their prizes.
The feature race was exciting with a strong breakaway by seven riders from the large main field. For most of the race it was lead by these elite riders from Germany, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand and three from the United States. The very fast pace was finally bested by an American winning over the Australian in phenomenal single breakaway that he held to win by 10 seconds, with another U.S. rider placing third. For a slide show of the race day activities please go to the following link http://www.hookline.com/rushnet/race.htm. and the ewaterinfo.com events page.
Robert Corr, RushNet Inc. CEO, was quoted, "It continues to become evident to us that when e-water's qualities and benefits are truly realized, it continues to draw new fans easily. I spoke to a number of the racers throughout the day and they let me know how impressed they were with their body's quicker recovery from the grind of 40-60 mile races after drinking e-water®. This was the kind of challenge and exposure that e-water® welcomes, and it sure did pass the test. When we have e-water O2 Sport(TM) available this fall it should make an even bigger impact.
Continuing, "There were also many inquiries by the crowd overall. I see this as another stepping stone in getting the e-water® message out, not only to the serious athletes but to the consumer who also needs an e-water® a day for more optimum health. Due to the vast number of inquiries from cyclists, RushNet is planning to develop a special section on its website for Professional and serious Amateur athletes who want to make any of the e-water® products a part of their workout and nutritional regimen. e-water® intends to progressively expand its sponsorship of competitive professional and amateur events, a natural home for this unique and very enhanced water."

Have a great day all, Happy trading, DrZ

Well, we can't say that there is a shortage of PRs. What we need is signed contracts and numbers, as soon as we get a peak inside the company's operations I'm sure RSHN will fly high.

Rush has enormous potential but it's in an industry that's very saturated, if you visit any major supermarket or drug store chains, you will see recognized & unrcognized beverage drinks including water. This is what Rush is up against, they're basically a small fish in a raging river, trying to swim upstream & did you know with some of the major chains, you have to pay them to place your product on their shelves ( rent space ) if you don't have a contract with them.

Sad thing is, Bob's been at this for over twenty five years! A long before the industry was saturated!!! He waited too long to push the products and has spent too much time living off selling the stock. What a shame. Here's hoping he can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Time2drum, are you sure about that. I could almost swear that he's only been at this for a good four years or so. The Ginseng drinks have hit their 100th anniversary but that doesn't mean that Bob's been with it all along. Hey, if Bob was in it from the beginning I'd be kind've worried about investing in this, lol = )

Check out Hat Trick Beverages, HKBV.
By the way, I did buy back into RSHN at .0004 I may not like the way Bob manages, but the products are great and there is always the potential for a buyout. Besides, it's been over a year now since the last run and this is over due. GLTA Posts: 616 | From: Mid West | Registered: Mar 2006

I agree . I have several million shares of rush and need to keep them . I like the products .
What about DCBI . I made profit on selling most of my shares but it is still moving up . Slowing & strangly though . Someone has pushed end of day price up each day last week with tiny fake trades . And they are doing a reverse split . I don't know why the price has moved up . Just because of a meeting in Vegas coming up ....? I expect it could take another big dip soon . What do you think ?
I need to decide wheather to sell my remaning dcbi shares monday or tuesday or take a chance and keep them for higher price before split announcement comes .

Apple Rush(TM) & e-water(R) Gain Momentum at the Natural Marketplace Show in Vegas
Last update: 7/25/2007 9:25:14 AMBLUE ISLAND, Ill., Jul 25, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
RushNet, Inc. (RSHN.PK) recently participated in the Natural Marketplace Trade Show in Las Vegas, NV July 21-22 and garnered increased support for the Apple Rush(TM) Brand and e-water(R). The show was well attended by Natural Foods retailers from throughout the U.S.
To view pictures of the event click here: RushNet was encouraged at the response that e-water(R) received at the show. One of the hottest new supplements at the show was Fulvic Acid, and the surge of interest in this sparked attendees to take a closer look at e-water(R). e-water(R) is now viewed not only as electrolyte-rich water, but as a highly beneficial product that utilizes Fulvic Acid as part of its enhancement and delivery system. Many of the attendees, who were not familiar with the product, took the time to hear the e-water(R) story and request more information on selling the product.
The key benefit of the show for RushNet was the approval of the Organic Apple Rush line by two of the largest U.S. Natural Foods Distributors, Tree of Life and Nature's Best . Tree of Life's approval encompasses four Distribution Centers; Midwest, Northeast, Southeast and Southwest. Nature's Best is a West Coast & Southwest regional distributor. Together these distributors service over 7,000 natural and specialty grocery stores throughout the U.S. RushNet is scheduled to participate in upcoming tradeshows at Nature's Best (Brea, CA) August 12, 2007 and Tree of Life (Midwest Distribution center, show in Indianapolis, IN) August 25, 2007. These shows are attended by Natural, Specialty and Grocery retail buyers and are traditionally order writing events.
RushNet expects that these events will greatly expedite the sales activity of Apple Rush(TM), e-water(R) and other RushNet products.
