Cinco de Mayo Contest

Shaggy's Salsa in mild and hot!

Hey Everyone!

We're proud to announce your chance to win Shaggy's salsa via our blog!  We had a great time at Yappie Hour yesterday with free samples of Shaggy's salsa, margarita punch, and margarita treats for the dogs.  We gave away several jars of Shaggy's salsa, but we still have some left!  So, we're going to give five pints away here in honor of Cinco de Mayo.  All you have to do is leave a comment on our blog before 4:00pm next Wednesday, May 12th.  The winners will be chosen through random drawing.

A few rules and notes: Comments can be on any blog post, not just this one.  Your comments will have to be approved, so you won't see them immediately, but they should be approved by about 11:00pm each evening, if you'd like to check back to make sure they posted.  If you'd like to make more than one comment to increase your chances of winning, go ahead, but please limit yourself to one comment per post.  We will announce the five winners here next Thursday, May 13th by 4pm. Good luck and Happy Commenting!

Cinco de Shaggy?

We are super excited about our Cinco de Mayo Yappie Hour this year - because we will be featuring some great treats for dogs, like our Margarita treats and our Dogritos, but we will be having some human fare as well. This year we will be featuring some margarita punch with chips and salsa, but not just any salsa - Shaggy's Salsa.

Pets still don't get any salsa I'm afraid...

For those who have not heard about Shaggy's Salsa yet - Shaggy and Paige are local Northwest Arkansasites who have stumbled across what will sure to be the mother of all Salsa recipes, and they have been growing their business from the ground up. Not only will we be dishing out some for everyone to try, but we'll also be giving away jars for free to the first few Yappie Hour goers. (BTW - they won the 2009 NWACC Cinco de Mayo Salsa Competition PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD).

 "Shaggy came up with this amazing recipe and has been wowing salsa lovers for several years now. We finally decided to market the stuff - and it is good. Period. It's different - flavorful and smooth - which makes it almost too easy to eat an entire jar all by yourself - we highly recommend!"

Shaggy's Salsa can also be purchased at these locations:

• Every Saturday at the Bentonville Farmers Market
• Fayetteville: Ozark Natural Foods (aka "the Co-op")
• Rogers: White Oak Station (by the mall)
• Bentonville: Library Cafe (Bentonville Public Library)
• Eureka Springs: Silly Chile on Spring Street
• Springfield, MO at MaMa Jean's Natural Market
• El Dorado, AR at The Olde Towne Store
• Little Rock, AR: Whole Foods Market

We love being able to keep it local - and we are excited to get to try some of this Salsa after following them on facebook for sometime. Hopefully they bring us some of their new "HOT" flavor as well. Don't forget - the Cinco de May Yappie Hour is Tuesday, May 4th from 5 PM to 7 PM. Come out and try some of this salsa, take some home, become a fan on their facebook page, and support your neighbors! I almost can't wait. (I should have had them drop it off at the store early for some "pre-testing").
