An Offer We Can't Refuse

We are gonna let you in on a little secret:

We rock.

And how do you confirm the fact that you do "rock?"

When a restaurant names a sammich after you.

And that is the offer on the table for us right now.

So here's what we need from you...

We need your ideas as to what should be on the sandwich.

Post it here.
Post it on facebook.
Send us an email.

We don't care how you do it.

Just get your sammy idea to us, immediately.

It can be a classic.
It can be innovative.
It can be what you ate for lunch today.

We aren't picky.

We will take our favorite ideas, and put it up for a vote.

We will then dine in the afterglow of awesomeness.

Nom nom nom.

New Game!

So today we will try out a new game.

And this first one should be pretty easy.

How does the game work?

Oh, we're getting to that.
Settle yourself.

Every so often (when we have nothing to write about), we
will post a closeup picture of some recognizable item
from the area.

You then guess what it is.

What do you win?

Nothing right now.
Just the pride of being smarter than everyone else.

Let's give this a shot, shall we?


Post your guesses here, or on our facebook page.

Good luck.

We Have A Winner

As many of you have seen, we've been running

a giveaway contest over the last week or so.

LolliPUPs Pet Grooming (724.339.PUPS)
Located at 1709 7th Street Road
in new Kensington, was gracious enough
to put up a $30 gift certificate for us to
give away to one lucky reader.

We received many entries, and many great
pictures of most people's pets.

So, before we announce the winner, we
have decided to share all the pictures with you.

















What a great bunch of pets, eh?

So many good looking pets out there.

But, unfortunately for most, there can only
be one winner in this contest.

See, we are not like the rest of the world
these days, where everyone gets a trophy...

"just for trying."


Okay, it's the moments of truth.

The winner is...

"Drum roll please...drum roll."

Mary Smider

Congratulations, Mary!

We will contact you with all the details.


Thanks again, to everyone that entered.

We wish you all could have won, but that would
been financially crippling for LolliPUPs.

Thanks again to LolliPUPs.
You are awesome!

Super Tuesday!

We here at theNEWK are happy to announce our
first giveaway contest.

And it's a great one!

It's the time of year for many different things...

- Decorating the tree.
- Baking cookies.
- Shopping.
- Watching college bowl games.
- Cleaning up the house.
- Shopping.
- Drinking Christmas ale.
- Reading about liquor licenses in the paper.
- Shopping.

With all of those things to do, who has time
to groom the family pet?

And even if you had the time, you'd probably
make your pet look like this...

Well, one lucky winner isn't going to have to
worry about it this year.

Why?

Because LolliPUPs Pet Grooming is giving
one lucky winner a $30 gift certificate!

How awesome is that?

So here's the skinny:

To enter the contest, all you have to do is send
an email to us here, at
thenewkblog@gmail.com

*Be sure to put "Lollipups Contest" in the subject line.
(You don't have to put it in italics, as we're not even sure
if that's possible.)

Now, you don't have to own a pet to win.
(We don't discriminate.)

But if you do own a pet, be sure to include a
photo of it, and you will receive 1 extra entry.

The contest will go on for about a week.
We will then randomly select a winner.

At that point, you will receive your prize from:
LolliPUPs Pet Grooming
1709 7th Street Road
New Kensington, Pa. 15068
724.339.PUPS (7877)

Just in time for a holiday trim!

Note:
We will not use/sell your email address.
We promise.

We will also try to put together a tribute, to all
the dogs and cats that we get pictures of.

Alright people...

Let's get this started!

thenewkblog@gmail.com

On a Wing and a Prayer.

We received another email worthy of print.

Actually, most of the emails we get, would be fun to post.

Too bad we have so many other interesting and insightful things to talk about.

It's hard being this awesome.

This is really a great email.

Be prepared to be blown away.

Hey NEWK-

What is your favorite place to eat chicken wngs? I have my favorites.
What are yours?

Can you put this on the site?
Dave

That really is a question with many layers and delicious sauces, Dave.

Now, we could just rattle off some of our regular stops.
But what fun would that be?

Here's what is going to happen.

We would like you, the reader, to suggest local wing joints for us to sample.
Preferably places that offer cold beer to help wash them down.

We will try to eat at as many of those places as we possibly can.
(This might be the greatest idea of all time.)

After we eat there, we will make a post with our findings.

When the grease finally clears, we will name our favorite wing spot.

It's official...we are geniuses.

(Is geniuses the plural version of genius?)

Okay, so maybe we aren't that smart.

But we sure as hell are clever.
And hungry.

So let's get going.

Leave us a comment here with your suggestion, or on our facebook page.

Just like the site, your suggestion doesn't have to be based in New Kensington.
We have a vehicle, and are willing to drive for winged delights.

Maybe we can even talk DSDC into tagging along to take pictures of these treats.



We accept this mission.

"To inwingity, and beyond!"

Looking For a Reason.

We would love to have a good reason to get a booth
at this year's New Kensington Community Days.

Too bad we are unable to think of any.

Can you think of a reason for us to be there?

If so, please leave us a comment.
If we pick your reason, we might even invite you to come hang
with us at our booth.

Oh snap.
