Hello CREW… 08-08-10

Ahhhh  the Dog   Days of Summer! 🙁 Well no hot dogs for us…!    🙂

“Dog Days”  are the hottest, most sultry days of summer. In the northern hemisphere, they usually fall between early July and early September.  Dog Days can also define a time period or event that is very hot or stagnant, or marked by dull lack of progress. The name comes from the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, in close proximity to the sun was responsible for the hot weather.

Suggestions: Corky Bells,   Dogs R Us,   Longhorn,   Steak & Shake

By majority event attendee vote!  The next…
