UPDATE: We have a winner!

At 15:50 this afternoon weather app, Weather Bug, detected a lightning strike 5 miles northeast of Pagosa. At the same time we received messages from on the ground weather observers, Randy and then Kimberly, that they had heard thunder verifying the lightning program.

The winner of the $50 gift certificate to Chow Down Pet Supply is Cynthia Goodwin! Cynthia was off by 23 hours and 9 minutes. Amazingly enough the second closest guess was off by 23 hours and 36 minutes! Weather is weird…

Chow Down: Your Healthy Pet Food and Supply Store

Chow Down started back in the early nineties in a tiny space adjacent to a car wash. The vision, spearheaded by Petra Davis, was to offer premium pet food with unsurpassed customer service. Petra’s passion for animals was equal to her desire to educate pet parents about the importance of proper nutrition and pet care. The pet industry has come a long way since then but the fundamentals remain the same: outstanding customer service, love of the animal and the importance of understanding the myriad of products and services available to our pets.

Chow Down offers a great selection of pet supplies and pet food at a local pet store. If you need to use their self-service dog wash, go on by! Need to schedule a grooming appointment? Give them a call! Every day they strive to bring health and wellness to pets and a smile to your face.
