Valentine’s Day has crept up once again, and this year promises to be amazing for a few lucky couples in Stevens County. The seventeenth annual Sweetheart Sweepstakes is going on now, and 18 local vendors have teamed up to ensure local couples enjoy the holiday thanks to some awesome prizes. The winners at every business will be entered into the Sweepstakes drawing for a chance at a $50 Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, good at numerous Stevens County businesses.

Is your sweetie a movie lover? Sign up at Showplace Video for two free video rentals, two large drinks, and a large buttered popcorn to share while you cuddle on the couch! Take your loved one to dinner at Pizza Hut, and sign up for a certificate for a free large pizza, at the Jet or Nieto’s for two free dinners, or at Dominoes Mexican Grill for a $25 gift certificate. Maybe you’d rather stick close to home to celebrate together – sign up at White’s Foodliner for a $25 gift card or at Thrifty King for a $25 gift certificate, and just make dinner yourselves!

Perhaps you’d rather get a present for your better half? Then stop by Country Garden or Yardmaster to pick something out, and sign up to win a Sweetheart Gift Basket!

Feel like your darling needs a little pampering? Make an appointment for pedicures for both of you at Relentless Salon, and don’t forget to put your name in for a free pedicure when you leave!

Does your honey have a long list of “honey-do’s” they just haven’t done yet? Pick up the needed supplies at Bultman, Inc. or Flatlanders Farm & Home. While you’re there, pop your names in the basket for a chance at a $20 gift certificate at Bultman’s or a $25 gift card at Flatlanders. Got a gearhead in the house? Stop by Bultman Tire to pick out some new tires, and while you’re there, sign up for a $25 gift certificate.

Still not sure what to get your Valentine? Sign up at Citizens State Bank for $20 in Gas Capital Dollars or at First National Bank for $25 cash to help them purchase whatever their heart desires.
