Luck O’ the Irish?

St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day is here, you see.
We’ll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three.
We’ll count the leaves and look them over,
And maybe find a four-leafed clover.
I’ll sew green buttons on my vest,
Green for St. Patrick is the best.
I’ll wear a green hat, very high,
And dance a jig–at least I’ll try!

To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Amaretto has dropped a random branding to some “Lucky” breeders. That’s right from midnight this morning to midnight tonight any bundle dropped has the chance at the “Lucky Branding”. No special breeding required. Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Happy Breeding!!

Shamrock

I have something pretty exciting to blog on today!  I have spent a lot of my spare time watching videos and while watching some the other day I had an idea.  How cool would it be to see videos of Amaretto Horses, K-9s and Barnyard Birds on You Tube?!?!

 

So how about a Contest? All of us here at Amaretto would like to challenge the Amaretto Community to come up with the best video for Amaretto Breedables.  I want to see video’s so incredibly funny that they go viral!  Let’s get all of You Tube talking about Amaretto and its amazing community of breeders. The video should be G-rated, no naughty stuff or nudity and it has to include at least one of the Amaretto Ranch Breedables.  I know how super creative and amazing the Amaretto Community can be so I am so excited about seeing what you come up with.

 

Remember to have fun!  The video can be about whatever you like as long as it includes the breedables.  I encourage you to make them not only funny but educational.  I want to see many, many submissions come in so that we can get that Amaretto You Tube channel hopping! Let’s bring new people to the community by showing how fun and creative this community can be!

 

Once you make your video and would like to submit it to the contest just send Dakota Delicioso a notecard in world and I will get in contact with you.

 

We will set up all the video’s on the Amaretto You Tube Channel and then have the community vote on the ones they like best.  We will be giving out some pretty amazing prize packages to the top 3 videos that include Amaretto Food and Consumables.  So if you want to win a prize for having a good time, this contest is just what you are looking for!

 

Lights, Camera, Action!!! Until next time, Happy Breeding!!
