I know you're excited to know who won! I get it! But...this one was hard to decide. Soooo, we've asked Boulder River Roadkill to step in with the final say - and they are so dang busy prepping for another beautiful summer weekend - checking to make sure they have enough food, shining the place up and preparing for Zechariah Peabody for Saturday night - that they might take just a bit longer. Don't worry and keep your eyes peeled, the winner will be announced today!!

This weeks contest isn't going to be a comment and you're in, but there will be several opportunities to get entered. (See Sunday's post) The winner on Friday will receive a gift card to take their father to the Boulder River Roadkill but, it will take some effort. Today, the first 15 people to accurately described these menu items will be in the drawing. But, in order for others not to see your answer, Email them to: [email protected] Subject line: Dinner for Dad. Hint (their menu is on their website). AND, tell me who the father is who would be your guest if you win. Go!

We're warming you up for a fun week! We'll announce our partnership on Monday, but suffice to say, it's going to be an awesome contest. For the next two Fridays, two dads and their families will win dinner at two very cool eateries for Father's Day (already have plans - that's ok, both places will allow you to dine with them on another day). So, to kick it off, comment your answers to the following questions.
