POLL
Who's your favorite local business to follow on Instagram? |
For what it’s worth, I’m a fan of Steadfast Cafe’s content because it’s funny, endearing, and actually unique.
This isn’t an ad. I wanted to shout them out because there’s so much junk on social media. Astraspect Media is the marketing agency they work with.
A few replies from last week’s question:
Reply to this email with the best boat name OR vanity license plate you’ve seen on a car/truck around town. No politics please!
“[vanity plate] L7Weiny“
“[vanity plate] HALDOL… yes, it’s working“
“[boat name] Aquaholic“
“[boat name] Li’l Grace“
FEATURED PET

This week’s featured pet is NOT up for adoption.
They’ve trained as part of the Zoom Room family since July 2022, and recently earned four new national titles at the Evergreen All-Breed Dog Show in Greeley, Colorado.
Congrats to Heidi the Giant Schnauzer and her loving owner Peggy (-:
(please note that next week we’ll return to featuring an adoptable dog or cat in this section of the newsletter)
