Through September 17, 2012, you can find your school (or add it to the list), register, and get all the votes you can every day.

The top 5 vote-getting schools will receive:

• 25,000 Box Tops for Education coupons
• $10,000 worth of Avery school supplies
• $1,000 worth of gift cards

The 25 runner-up schools will each receive:

• 5,000 Box Tops for Education coupons

Can you imagine your school getting that?!!  And let me tell ya, those box tops make a HUGE difference and can go a long way so I encourage you to save them and give them to your child’s school or donate them to a school who could use them.  They add up quickly and can help get the school cash. And please guys, enter up in the sweepstakes and get everyone to vote for your school!!

Disclosure: I was sent a sampling of the school supplies in return of my time & efforts to create this post and share the promotion with you guys.  My school also receive $1000 worth of school supplies and I’m thankful that companies give back to school and allow some of bloggers to give back to our local community.  All opinions are my own and I appreciate Avery for doing this! 

Also, if any local company would like to advertise here at A Cowboy’s Wife or at My Wooden Spoon, I’ve got special discount rates just for you!  You can email your query to advertising@acowboyswife.com

FOOTBALL

First off, I gotta say congratulations to the Highland Hornets on their win against Woodson. I’m proud of them as I know everyone else is.  They played a really good game!  Highland plays next week against Walnut Springs and I know that no matter the outcome, they’ll play hard and do their best and that’s all we can ask of them.  WHERE: Highland vs. Walnut Springs @ Early, Friday Dec. 4th @ 7:30.

And to you fans….it’s always great to see the Hornet pride so next week, when we do the wave, please stand up and wooooo when it’s your section’s time.  We 3 crazy Hornet gals can’t do it alone;)

GOOOOOOOO BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUE!

P.S. I also want to give a shout-out to our announcer for all our home games. He’s always very positive for both teams never acts like he’s biased even though I’m sure he wants his Hornets to win.  Thanks so much!

TRADE DAYS

Remember where the Walls Outlet used to be? Well that’s the home  of the new Sweetwater Wild West Trade Days!  I love trade days, flea markets, and everything in between so I’m truly excited about this addition to our town.  The first trade days kicks off on the first weekend in December and then every first weekend of the month after that.  It’s said to have lots of vendors, good food, and great deals!  I can already foresee some people getting wonderful gifts for this holiday season.  Hope to see you there!

ARTS & CRAFTS

December 4-6 marks the annual Arts & Craft show here in Sweetwater, TX, to be held at the Nolan County Coliseum.  Another place to find great gifts I’m sure and I’m excited to go to this too!  I’ve never ever been so I’ll be there taking photos and shopping my heart out.  Hope to see you guys there too.

Finally, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and shopped your hearts out on those big sales!  Until next week folks……………..
