Feelin’ Lucky

We love Valentine’s Day here at Bird Dog Bay. It’s not the gluttonously consumed chocolates, the comedic oversized rose bouquets or the thorough appreciation for the guy that owns the patent on that white stuffed teddy bear holding the little I love you heart… It’s simply because we sell more red neckties than any other color, especially during the first two weeks of February.

Thanks for the efforts, St. Valentine.
