Buzz Rodeo Contest + Veg Out!

Now for our shameless plug: We have two fun, Buzzy initiaitives going on through the month of March and we're so excited to spread the news.

First, be sure to send us your rodeo pics – your Go Texan Day photos, rodeo parade, cookoff, etc., from this year or any years past – for a chance to win in our Buzz Rodeo Roundup Contest. Just upload your photo for an opportunity to win a four-pack of tickets to the Sat., March 14 (Billy Currington) rodeo plus two $10 carnival half-price ticket books. The contest is open now through March 9. Enter now!

In addition, offset some of those fried Oreos by eating more veggies in March. The Buzz is partnering with Recipe for Success on their Veg Out initiative. Eat 30 veggies in 30 days for a chance to win prizes on their site, and share your experiences, photos, videos, and recipes with us for a chance to win a great prize package. (And of course, the best prize of all – eating more veggies and being healthier!) See all the details here and Veg Out with us!
