Feb 20th is "Love Your Pet Day." Rapids decided this would be a great time to introduce you to some of the Rapids pets and their humans, along with some great recipes for pet treats. These recipes will make it easy to spoil your pets, just like we do. They are family after all. Just make certain that if you cook for your pet and your goal is to completely take them off a commercial food, you need to do so with recipes that completely address your pet's nutritional needs while staying away from foods that can harm them. There is an actual science to it. If you are interested in cooking scientifically-balanced, healthy meals for your pets, you can verify the integrity of your recipes at the website Balance It.
More than a quarter of Americans plan to visit a bar or restaurant this year on St. Patrick’s Day. The important takeaway about this information for a bar owner or manager is that 41 percent of those polled referenced traditional Irish menu items as the biggest factor in making their decision about where to celebrate. The upside to that is that the three most well-known “traditional” Irish entrees lend themselves well to a busy night as they are made ahead of time and simply dished up and served when ordered.

January 4th is National Trivia Day. The term “trivia” has come to refer to obscure and arcane bits of dry knowledge, as well as nostalgic remembrances of pop culture. The first trivia contests were held on college campuses and known as "quiz bowls," testing knowledge of cultural references and useless information. These types of contest became more mainstream with the introduction of the game Trivial Pursuit, which allowed us to challenge each other in the comfort of our own living rooms. While these boardgame versions of Trivial Pursuit may have peaked in the 1980's, trivia games in general were just getting started. Computers, gaming systems, and tabletop tablets brought trivia games into the 21st century, making trivia contests a fun and popular part of bar and restaurant culture.
National Bacon Day is December 30th. This should not be confused with International Bacon Day which is celebrated on September 2nd. Quite frankly we would be happy to celebrate Bacon day 365 days out of the year. A Bacon celebration means a party, a party means food. If the party is to celebrate Bacon, then obviously the food must have bacon in it. Throw in a Kevin Bacon movie or two and now you have a themed party that everyone is going to love.
