I had entered to win a party sponsored by Budweiser through a site called Houseparty.com. I got chosen as a host! The people at House Party sent me a box filled of goodies including 3 t-shirts, an apron, frisbees, Budweiser cups, Budweiser BBQ sauce, beer cozies, $10 Visa card towards Budweiser beer, $30 rebate on Budweiser beer and lots of coupons. So we celebrated the fourth of July long weekend with BBQ, Buds and good friends.
