Congratulations go to Tobin who won our pair of tickets to see the Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge on Sunday! Tobin chose the lyrics to "Crash" and wrote: "I bet Golden Oldies regrets saying that now..." Have a great time, Tobin! Thanks to everyone who participated. Your entries and passion for Wallingford were pretty impressive!
That's right, we hold in our hot and sweaty little hands a pair of Dave Matthews Band general admission tickets at the Gorge Amphitheatre this Sunday, September 5, at 6 p.m. If you're interested in going, all ya gotta do is tell us what Dave Matthews Band song or lyric best represents Wallingford and why. Post your entry in the comments section here, or to the Wall on the Wallyhood Facebook Page, and you'll be entered in our random drawing. We'll…

Back in early October, we announced a week-long photo contest, themed "Wallingford in Autumn", in which we promised to award a bag of Pangaea Organica's Wallingford-roasted coffee to two winners: best overall photo and best photo taken with a mobile phone. The weeks dragged on. At one point, we pretended that we were intentionally extending the contest, but a reader called us out on our laziness. Well, the long wait is over folks, and we hereby announce the winners: Also, because…
We know, we were supposed to close the judging and award the coffee for our "Wallingford in Autumn" photo contest, but quite frankly, we're lazy. So we're extending the contest through Friday. Or maybe Saturday. But after that, we're going to give away the two bags of coffee (delivered!) So, snap a photo of Wallingford in Autumn, post it as a comment here and you stand to win a bag of Wallingford-roasted Pangaea coffee. One to best overall, one to best…
Remember, we're giving away two, count 'em two, bags of Pangaea Organica fair trade Wallingford roasted coffee this week to two photographers, one "regular" and one "mobile". The theme: Wallingford in Autum. Snap a photo, upload it wherever you like (but preferably to the Wallingford Flickr Pool) and post a link to it as a comment on this post (or one of the reminders that will follow). Deadline is Sunday, 10/25 at midnight. We’ll award two bags of coffee, one for…
Last week, we posted a contest: suggest a new set of poetry for the window of Open Books and we'll pick our favorite and one at random to receive a bag of locally roasted Pangaea Oganica Coffee. At the time, we mentioned that we hadn't actually checked with the owners of Open Books as to whether they would take our suggestions. Well, we did drop them a note and, wouldn't you know it, between the last time we walked by their…
