Jugalicious One Year Anniversary!!!
Dear Valued Customers:
I can hardly believe it! This marks the One Year Anniversary of the "Jugalicious" Monthly Newsletter. It's amazing to me that this is the 12th time I have sat in front of my computer and typed the monthly greeting. I know my jokes have gotten worse each month, but hopefully you are still enjoying the specials. Speaking of specials, this month we have added an extra page to the newsletter to celebrate its birthday. What that means is this September at Arlie Dale's Jug Liquors is that all our customers will be able to take advantage of twice as many specials as usual...including some awesome deals in our "Connoisseurs' Corner," where you will find wine not available anywhere else in the upper Arkansas Valley!
This summer has been rainy, hot and buys. Thanks to all of you we have had our best summer yet here in downtown Salida and this newsletter could not come at a more perfect time because it celebrates the customers that keep us going the other nine months out of the year. This past weekend we were all reminded of the cool days of fall soon to be approaching. Everything is pointing that direction, the kids are back in school, rafting business has come and gone, the Powder Magazine buyers guide is out and some hunting seasons have already begun. Now is one of my favorite times to get out and enjoy our valley without all the hustle and bustle of our busy summer season. So my message to all of you is to get out and enjoy it! Soon the days will be short and the weather cold. In your spare time come down to the Jug and take advantage of all the September specials. Thank you all so much for your continued patronage, it's a pleasure for all of us to serve you in whatever your libation needs might be.
Sincerely,
