We have some big changes coming up on the Hoedown! We are excited to share these with you, so read on:

Beginning October 1, our Hoedown blog will become a fabulous place for inspiration and fun, as the Bacon Bits will share a fantabulous project with you each day of the month! You will love seeing their ideas for cards, gift packaging, and treats in the coming months!

Our Hoedown Challenge will become a twice-a-month challenge, on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Participants can use ANY image to play along, as long as the challenge requirement is met. So that means more time to play and create something fantastic to share!

Two winners will be chosen from each challenge, Best in Show, and a random Queen of the Hoedown. Those winners will each receive a Hambo digital image as their prize, as well as our fun badges for their blogs.

So, although we are changing the way the Hoedown will look, we are excited about sharing with you each day, and seeing what you create at our two challenges during the month!

More details will come out of the Pig Pen October 1.
 PLUS -- we have a new Bacon Bits Design Team member to introduce!!

 In the meantime, thank you for visiting the Hoedown, and 
Happy Stamping!
