Paw Prints 2025 Beer Label Contest

See more: https://www.gogophotocontest.com/arlnh

The Animal Rescue League of NH (ARLNH) and Great North Aleworks have teamed up to celebrate our love for pets and good beer with the “Paw Prints” Beer Label contest.

This year, all pets (not just dogs!) are eligible to enter, and Great North Aleworks wants to help raise more funds than ever to benefit the pets at the ARLNH!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Submit a photo of your pet (one pet per photo!) and a $10 donation to the Animal Rescue League of NH, and tell us what makes your pet special.

  2. Encourage your family and friends (and random people wherever you go!) to vote from July 7th - August 4th (polls close at 9:00 pm). The cost of each vote is a $1 donation to the Animal Rescue League of NH (a small but life-changing price to pay for such a cool prize!)

The 4 pets with the most votes will automatically win! In the case of a tie-breaker, three ARLNH-selected judges will choose the winner. Images of the 4 winning pets will each appear on a 1-pint can and, along with images of a current shelter animal or alum, will complete the faces of a 4-pack of “Paw Prints”.

2025 contest runs from July 7th through August 4th at 9pm.

The Rumble

Two-time GRAMMY nominees for Best Regional Roots Album (2024 & 2025), The Rumble is a powerhouse New Orleans supergroup led by Big Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr. of the Young Eagles. Described by Live For Live Music as “a defiant, delicious gumbo” of Mardi Gras Indian culture and Bayou funk, The Rumble blends deep-rooted tradition with explosive energy. Their debut, Live at the Maple Leaf, and follow-up, Stories From the Battlefield, earned back-to-back GRAMMY nods, marking them as a rising force. CultureMap Austin calls them “a tighter band than any at SXSW,” and No Depression hails their show as “a funky, feather rufflin’ extravaganza.” Featuring seven world-class musicians, including blazing brass and shared vocals, The Rumble transforms every performance into a vibrant, living tribute to New Orleans culture – modern, proud, and built to move.

Granite Outdoor's second outdoor mingler in its series Rocktails & Streams is a four-mile paddle down the Saco River in the Mount Washington Valley on Thursday, July 17, 2025 from 2 - 6(ish)pm. Sponsored by Saco Canoe Rental Company and supported by New Hampshire's Office of Outdoor Recreation Industry Development, we are stoked for a good time! The event will close on the host's sandy beach with dinner, beverages, and music, all included in your ticket (together with a canoe or kayak, life jacket and paddle).

Meet us at 1:30 pm at Beach Camping Area at 776 White Mountain Highway. From there, we will hop in shuttles to the put-in.

The goal is to get to know industry members while doing something fun. We encourage Granite Outdoor members to invite guests who would be prospective GOA members (or just friends, family, or significant others who would enjoy the river!).

A ticket secures your rental + accessories, ride to the drop-off site, dinner + beer, and a raffle ticket. There are also apres-only tickets available if you can't make the paddle but want to join for dinner and networking. Come out and see who's who in the outdoor industry and make some connections!
