Many thanks to those of you who came out last Friday to celebrate our second birthday with us, and a special thanks to the entire Silicon Prairie News community – from those of you who visit our site, subscribe to our RSS feed, follow us on Twitter or Facebook, or support us through sponsorships and advertising. We’re motivated by the companies and individuals working hard to make innovative products and services in our region. Keep it up!

Also, a big thank you to our friends at Lucky Bucket for providing us with a generous supply of Lucky Bucket Lager to keep our guests happy.

If you’re craving more Lucky Bucket, they’re holding their First Annual Beer~BQ this Saturday. You can learn more about the event on Facebook.

We took a bunch of photos last Friday and posted them in real-time to our Flickr account, flickr.com/photos/siliconprairienews. For your viewing pleasure, we’ve sorted through them and pulled out some of our favorites, and below those, we’ve included a slideshow of them all.

First one up is a picture of all the toppings our guests brought, and with that, we’ll announce our topping winner…the guest who brought the Guinness. Word has it, the Guinness floats were quite good. If you’re the guest who brought the Guinness, could you please send an email to danny@siliconprairienews.com and we’ll get the prize in your hands soon.

Now, on to more pictures:
