Thanks for an amazing EatLafayette campaign!

The past two months have been a dream come true. The official 2011 EatLafayette campaign began on June 20 and we have been letting the good times roll since. In the celebration of our 57 participating locally-owned restaurants, we had a packed kick-off party, ate some delicious food, made new friends, and followed a 12-foot-tall hot sauce bottle around town for deals.

We are so grateful to all of our sponsors. Without them, our ideas would have never come to fruition. Our sponsors are: The NEW Fly Lafayette Club, Lafayette Conventions and Visitors Commission, Atmos Energy, AT&T, Cox, KADN FOX 15, My KLAF TV, KLFY TV 10, Louisiana Gold Pepper Sauce & Bruce Foods, The Independent Weekly, and Travel Machine.

We at EatLafayette would like to yell from the rooftops how thankful we are for another certain group of people. Who are these wonderful people, you ask? It's YOU! Without you, there would be no readers for our newsletters, no visitors to our website, no fans on Facebook and no followers on Twitter, no mouths to feed and nobody to celebrate with. It's because of you that these restaurants stay open and because of all of us that they become a part of our culture. Thank you so much for celebrating with us!

Don't get all teary-eyed, now. We're sad the official 2011 campaign is over, too, but we still have a couple things up our sleeves!

First: Did you enter to win the free four-day Caribbean Cruise for two, courtesy of Travel Machine, when you visited our EatLafayette restaurants? We have yet to announce a winner. We'll announce the winner LIVE on air on Monday, August 22 between 9 and 10am on 99.9 KTDY with CJ and Debbie Ray! Tune in your radio stations or listen online at 999KTDY.com to hear if you're the lucky winner!

Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth: Our website, Facebook page, Twitter page, newsletters, and helpful map will be live and accessible all year-round. Do you know what this means? You can stay connected to us all year long and hear about great deals, events, and celebrations even though the official campaign is over! We're excited - can you tell?

Join us on-air by tuning in to 99.9 KTDY on Monday, August 22 at 9am to hear who the lucky free cruise winner is - it could be you!
