Friends,

Well it seems that I’m always in campaign mode lately.  I guess it’s the “silly season” for small businesses.  Last month we were nominated in D Magazine’s Reader’s Choice poll in the category “Best Children’s Entertainer”.  We’re competing with singer-songwriters, clowns, other animal educators, and magicians.  The voting is over, but wish us luck and watch for the winner to come out in August’s issue of D Magazine.

Now, we’ve got this:

Mission:SmallBusiness

Please click on the link and log in with your Facebook ID and vote for us!

Here’s why…  Chase bank along with LivingSocial.com are giving away grants to small business.  They have $3 million in grants to give away, $250,000 at a time.  We’d like to be considered for this, which would *really* help jump-start our business and get the farm fixed up for on-site field trips, pumpkin patch festivals, heck, maybe even wine tastings 🙂

It’ll take about 15 seconds and you’ll need to enter the following information *exactly* to find our listing:

Business name:   Cathy’s Critters (yes, the apostrophe matters)

State:  TX

City: Princeton

After voting, please share it on Facebook!

We just need 250 votes to be considered for the grants, and then it goes to a panel of business experts and marketing gurus at Chase Bank.   Thanks very much for your help!

Best wishes,

Cathy & Kevin Smith

Special Pricing for Twilight Parties (no vampires)

Ducks are people tooHave you considered having your child’s next birthday party as the sun goes down? What could be cooler than relaxing around the pool or backyard picnic table while Cathy’s Critters’ expert and friendly crew entertains and informs your kids and their guests with the assortment of clean, friendly animals you know and love:  guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, goats, and llamas (see last month’s post!).

How about 10% off your party price when you book a 2-hour party, or add a pony to a 1-1/2 hour party!  Cathy’s Critters is introducing our Twilight Special for the summer of 2011 to celebrate the longer daylight hours and take advantage of cooler evening temperatures.  This also allows you to consider having your party on a weeknight afternoon after mom and dad get home from work.  Make it the social event of the summer – bring a cooler of adult beverages for the adults, grill some hotdogs, and have a farm-themed birthday party.

For any customer who books a 2-hour party, or party with a petting zoo and pony starting at 6:00 PM or later between now and August 26 (the next date at which sunset occurs earlier than 8:00 PM), we’ll take 10% off their entire package price.  For assistance in planning your party around available daylight, please see this Sunrise and Sunset Calculator.

Some of our most memorable events have been the late afternoon and early evening parties.  The animals are relaxed, the kids are mellow, and the parents have the freedom to socialize.  Call the office, 972-562-0583, to check on availability of times, or just book online, our office will follow up to confirm the date.  Our office hours are from 9AM-2PM Monday-Wednesday and 9AM-Noon Thursday and Friday, but the web site is always open.

Thanks for your continued patronage,

Cathy & Kevin
