Hi Kids

Well, this is my last post before the day itself so I just wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas for Tuesday! And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, then I hope you enjoy the happy vibes at this time of year. Be good to each other!

Hi Kids!

Just a quickie before the weekend:

Hard to believe, since she’s aging so well, but it turns out that the Swizzle Inn is the hippest octogenarian in town.  To celebrate 80 years of Swizzling Inn and Swaggering Out, they will be having special promotions, food and drink specials, drawings, special appearances and entertainment during the first 3 weeks of December. From now until December 9th, your child will receive a kid’s pizza or grilled cheese meal for free when purchasing a regular meal.  From December 10th until the 16th, diners will receive any second pizza for half price.  From December 17th until the 23rd, if you spend $80 or more, you get to select a special ornament off of their prize tree, with the prizes including discounts of up to 80%, gift vouchers and more.  Limited edition 80th Anniversary T-shirts are also available at both locations or in their online gift shop.
