Don’t forget that every month we kick a $25 gift certificate to a randomly selected Fan of the Month, so if you haven’t become a fan yet (and based on the current count of 704 fans, most of you haven’t), become a fan already!

First to help out was our longtime buddy, Samm Diep.  For the second year in a row, Samm came in after Black Friday to pitch in wherever she was needed including making an obnoxiously large and unstable box structure in my office (we were sharing space).  She stayed until December 16th, at which point we brought in the closer, Megan Ihle to wrap up the season.

Unfortunately, this is probably going to be the last year that Megan helps us out during the holidays.  She’ll be shuffling back off to Wyoming next week to finish up her final year at law school, which means next season she’ll probably be a little too busy to lend a hand.

Thanks again to everyone (both our customers and our employees) for making this the best holiday season yet!  See ya’ll in 2010!

Frank and Sarah Rousey Gettin' Cozy

Its official.  The grumpy munchkin is now officially representing PoolDawg for the 2009 WPBA season.  Since she did such a nice job for us at the Great Lakes Classic and the Borderline Billiards event, we thought we’d make it official and bring her on for the rest of the year.  Here’s the official press release:

Have a fun, safe and happy 4th of July weekend everyone!

In addition to the new look of the site, we also have a brand new search tool thanks to our friends over at SLI Systems.

They’re the technology behind the search for sites like Tupperware, Symantec, Jelly Belly and American Bridal, and now they’re powering the PoolDawg search.  Pretty crazy, right?  At any rate, give it a try and let us know what you think.
