Shiver me timbers! Our super successful, first official Bookmans Treasure Hunt -- The Search For Local Business Booty had us skipping down the aisles. Many thanks to the Local First Arizona business that hid the prize package including Tower Theater tickets and to our devoted fans who used their noggins and the clues to find the booty (you sprogs brought tears to our eyes). Though we distributed no doubloons, each prize package was worth $30 and in this economy we could all use some awesomely free stuff.


This adorable guy is the logo for January's Local First-inspired Treasure Hunt.

 

We had so much fun with this one that we've commissioned additional explorations. Any squiffy landlubber can participate. You don't need be able to read the stars, just the clues via Twitter from @BookmansTucson or other Bookmans Twitter streams as we add new markets. Don't flog yourself if you didn't figure this one out in time because we will have another one next month. The last week of February we will announce new treasure in Tucson and will be hiding the prize at another Local First Arizona business that we feel you buccaneers would love as much as we do.

And finally I am proud to present the business that made this all possible -- Mrs. Tiggy Winkles. This small business on the cutting edge of fun contacted us to be a part of this new giveaway. They not only rock because they wanted to help other local businesses, but to do something pretty darn cool for Tucsonans. Here is a list of reasons why we think Mrs. Tiggy Winkles rocks:

1. Their store had a Dan Zanes concert inside!
2. Paul McCartney once visited and complemented the music selection!
3. They were born in 1978.
4. They used to have a ring tail cat living in their roof for several years.
5. They host an inventors workshop with Vail school every year.
6. They give a 25% discount on school purchase orders.
7. They have a bathroom that glows in the dark!
8. They will sprinkle you with fairy dust and grant you a wish!
9. They sell supplies for kids that are attending Hogwarts!
10. They have a lot of farting related accouterments.
11. They started out by fixing broken items and reselling them.
12. They are named after a hedgehog!
13. Their logo was designed by the Japanese artist MIKA.
