Women's Weekend - 2009

Women's Weekend is coming, Thursday-Sunday, May 14th-17th.  This is a fun, open event for everyone.  We have lots of fun planned for the weekend.  Full details from the organizers of Women's Weekend can be found here .  Our Giveback Tuesday that week (May 12th), which is a program through which we donate 10% of our proceeds for that day, is for Breast Cancer Treatment and Screening at RRHC.  So come out and support a great cause.

Women's Weekend kicks off at the Rainbow on Friday night (May 15th) with the RAGS event. Drink special will be $2 for well drinks and domestic beer from 5-8pm. We will also have a BBQ out on our back patio during that time.

On Saturday, we'll throw our Steer Tag Party for the Women.  DJ Bruce is on tap to spin the hits.  If you've never been to a party like this, you've definitely been missing out.  Haven't you always wondered who is Single and who isn't?  Wouldn't it be easier if everyone just wore their availability on their chest :-)  Well, we have the party for you.

It's easy.  Show up, get your Steer Tag, decide what color dot(s) you want to use, and find yourself a date.  Here's the color code:

• Red - No, I'm Taken
• Yellow - Maybe (Buy me a drink first)
• Green - Yes, I'm Single
• Yellow on Red - Taken (But I may be persuaded)
• Green on Red - Taken (But WE play)
• Green on Green - Yes, I'm Easy

On Sunday, we'll be throwing the "Best Deal in Town" BBQ on the back patio.  Come out and enjoy $2.50 burgers, veggie burgers and $1.50 hot dogs. Food starts at 5pm on the back Patio.

During the full weekend, we'll be featuring a couple of drink specials: Slippery Nipple, and Red-headed Slut.

Fun, fun, fun. Come join the ladies.

Hump Nite 2009

The long-standing tradition has kicked off it's 12th year. 

 For those that are unaware of the tradition, Hump Nite was the inspiration of Bob Frederick, a long time bartender of over 20 years at the Rainbow, and Roger Gibson, Bob's lover at the time who has subsequently passed away.  Bob and Roger wanted to do something at the Rainbow that would bring out the community in the dead of winter.  Roger suggested a mid-week potluck, and the tradition was born.  Each week carries a theme, and everyone is encouraged to bring out a dish to share.  At the end of the meal, people vote for the best entree and dessert, and prizes are awarded.  The Finale caps off the Hump Nite festivities with a return of the weekly winners going head to head.  This year's finale is March 18th, and it promises to be a lot of fun.

This is a wonderful community event.  The amount of energy and love that is put into each of the dishes is amazing.  And you don't have to bring a dish in order to enjoy the fun.  Every cook just likes to see lots of people enjoying their food, so don't let them down.  Come out and enjoy the fun.

Giveback Tuesdays

In taking over the Rainbow Cattle Company, one of our top goals was to support the local community.  To that end, we have started a new tradition: Giveback Tuesdays.  Each week a local charity will be chosen.  10% of the sales for that Tuesday will be donated to the charity directly by us.  The more the community supports the Rainbow on a given Tuesday, the more the charity will get.  In addition, any money that is donated directly by the community, whether it be to make the train go round, or money placed in donation jars, will also be sent to the nominated charity for the week. If you want to nominate a local charity for consideration for a Giveback Tuesday, email us.

This has turned out to the a wonderful event, and a number of very deserving charities have received money.  Since it's start in late November of 2005, over $23,100 has been given to the following deserving charities:
