- The rock n roll marathon was this weekend in Nashville. And a 3 legged dog ran the whole thing. The family traveled from Sevierville to donate their time to St. Jude. It was the half mile doggy dash that Percy the 3 legged dog dominated but the family said that he’s been running practice runs leading up the the big event this past weekend. He was definitely an inspiration to all who were there.
- Tiffani Thiessen – you know her as Kelly Kapowski from Saved By The Bell– she is partnering with Chili’s to debut a specialty cocktail — one that’s ’90s themed. The actress, best known for her roles in iconic 1990s shows like Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210, now stars in a new, ’90s-themed ad for Chili’s which first opened in 1975 but became a nationally recognized chain in the 1980s and 1990s. In the ad, she sits at the bar while sipping the new Radical ‘Rita, a beverage crafted with Lunazul blanco tequila, Monin dragonfruit, a float of blue Curaçao, house-made sour, garnished with a lime wedge and a collection of ’90s-inspired swizzle sticks. Speaking with People about her partnership, Tiffani says the collaboration is “very nostalgic” for her.” “I have a history with Chili’s. My husband and I, before he was even my husband … He used to hang out at the Chili’s bar down the street with his friends, and I would go and hang out, and we would have some memories at Chili’s, like long memories before we had kids and got married.” The Radical ‘Rita is available at participating Chili’s locations nationwide starting in May.
