Meanwhile, she wanted to Squeeze in some vacation time and enjoy the Olympic Fever.  One problem….She went on to one of those fancy discount travel websites and instead of booking a flight to Vancouver, she ended up traveling to Estonia.  How did this happen, you ask? Well, two things: Squeezie Suzie lacks opposable thumbs and has virtually no typing skills…but she loved her trip and took some fun pics that she wants to share with us all.

Here’s Suzie just getting off the plane and stopping to smell the flowers

First stop…to the bar for Suzie….and no, she wasn’t getting tipsy, she was drinking Kvass…a popular European drink with very low alcohol content.

Next up, the relaxation continued when Squeezie Suzie hit a luxurious sauna…she felt like a brand new cow after getting a good soak

Suzie was also part of a new Nike Ad campaign for Estonia: “Squeezie Suzie…Just do it”

Next, another pose…lots of SNOW out there…still no Olympics, but she felt it would be a good idea to ‘Go for the Gold’!!!….this bus station has a casino in it

No winnings at all for Suzie…so this time she passed on the low-octane Kvass…

What a wonderful trip for Suzie…she’s truly becoming a world traveler!

 March is going to be a very busy month for Squeezie Suzie…she’ll be having fun and finding new friends at various events:

Saturday March 6th: Casino Royale http://www.citystage.symphonyhall.com/citystage.html Annual Fundraiser for City Stage

Wednesday March 10th: ACCGS After 5 - Tourism In Your Own Backyard! http://www.myonlinechamber.com/

Doesn’t it seem like every year is the year of the cow?   Well, it should be…if you’ve been keeping tabs on your favorite cow, you’ll know that her life is full of fun and adventure! Of course, it’s not all fun and games for this cute little Bovine Bundle…she continues to spread the word about the great work on marketing materials and services that you too can afford at www.GetSetPrinting.com and www.GetSetMarketing.com

This month, Squeezie Suzie checks in again with some adventures that take her across the country to a state that should be renamed: “Cowifornia.”

Squeezie Suzie moved out to the coast with friends Jeff and Stephanie…and recently got a tour of the “City by the Bay.” Here they are in front of San Fran city hall…

She’s outside the Oracle center getting ready to see the Golden State Warriors play some b-ball!

She wants to get on a boat and go for a cruise, but waiting for her ship to come in

Squeezie Suzie crossing a bridge…not too sure which one it is, though…can you tell?

Suzie was ready to hit some Cowifornia surf, but since it was bit chilly, she decided to alter her idea and try some other ‘boarding’….SNOWboarding! She’s back in New England and ready to hit the slopes…COWabunga!

Here she is getting bundled up for the weather!

Time to get on the lift and head up the mountain!

Suzie’s looking great and loves the scarf from her new friend, Yelena…Suzie got in some great photos taken by Ian from Nemesis Photo http://nemesisphoto.blogspot.com/

Time for a rest after some intense Snowboarding!

So now Squeezie Suzie can add snowboarding to the list of things that she’s accomplished.  She’s pretty awesome!  Remember to take your Suzie along with you on road trips, vacations, adventures, business meetings and restaurants (except steak houses, please).  She’s the perfect travel companion and loves to have fun.  Send us the pictures and we’ll post them in the months to come.

The Get Set crew was a sponsor of the December YPS/Chamber networking event: www.SpringfieldYPS.com and www.MyOnlineChamber.com   The cows were given some new homes as they reminded people to start looking ahead to 2010 and the need to order their full color marketing materials from www.GetSetPrinting.com 

Suzie was making new friends right away!

The Armorettes from the Springfield Armor were on hand for a basketball promo…and they couldn’t wait to take a picture with the Cheddar Belle, Squeezie Suzie and a Get Set crew member! www.ArmorHoops.com

This is actually a picture of the Basketball SPINNING on Suzie’s nose!!! Great Job Mike!

As the Holidays have heated up, the cow-related decorations and festivites have taken center stage:

Cow-lights for the Tree - look at Suzie in the Stocking!

It’s mini-trade show time, and the Get Set crew packed up the cows to bring them to derserving customers and “pre-customers” throughout the land.  First stop: Oktoberfest After 5 hosted by the ACCGS www.MyOnlineChamber.com If you received a fresh new cow, make sure you take Squeezie Suzie with you on any adventures and send the pictures in to us for a possible appearance in a future blog.

So this year, Squeezie came back to enjoy some of the sights, sounds and tastes of the fair.  The sights are quite intriguing, and many of the vendors often have handouts and/or brochures…but all of them should have taken advantage of the great quality and prices found at: www.GetSetPrinting.com

While in the Vermont Building at the Big E, Suzie stops by a Friendly looking booth, that sells something right up her alley! (Suzie’s on top of the milk carton)

From the milk stand, the next logical choice was to check out an ice cream stand, but what really caught Suzie’s eye were the Cow-Patterned aprons that the staff wore! (the guy on the left is holding Suzie)

Some people even fly in for the Big E from out of town…you might just catch this beauty while you’re picking someone up at the airport.  Ahhh, to dream of being graceful and elegant…that’s Suzie’s favorite art piece (Frisbee Mooo)!

Ok, Back to the Fair and on to the REALLL stars of the Big E…it was competition time, but I think we ALL know who won “Best in Show”

Suzie had a great time interacting with other animals…here she’s giving kisses to the Sea Lion

Another Fantastic year at New England’s Great State Fair…!!!

To finish off her September, Squeezie Suzie made a trek out to Denver, CO to sample beers at the Great American Beer Festival….many beers!

They’ve started a new drink out there in Colorado…you’ve heard of Jager-bombs…this is the Suzie-bomb!!!

After a snack, she was ready for the amazing Mt. Rushmore…but she was confused: “Why are there no cows depicted?”

Stopping by a gift shop called The Purple Cow…but sadly, no purple cows could be found

To the ocean to see some waves….COWabunga!!!

Much like the Beam of Light from a Lighthouse, Squeezie Suzie shows the way…(to great pricing on Marketing products and services)

“Come on down!”…you’re the next contestant for PlinkCow…the most exciting “Cow-Themed” game-of-chance at the entire Business Market Show!  (Paul is ready for you!!!)

Prizes? you want Prizes? well, besides winning a new “Limited Edition” Squeezie Suzie cow, contestants were walking away with cold, hard, cash!

Across the aisle, the Team from UP was generating excitement, and giving the Get Set crew a little competition for the show’s BEST BOOTH!

Here’s Dan  with Kate from BusinessWest showing his recognition in the “Forty under Forty” (the year’s best issue) http://businesswest.com/under-forty/Dan-Bessette.htm 

These two contestants were confused by bright lights and forced to wear strange sunglasses indoors.  Their affliction was cured soon after when they received their cows.

The Market Show ended with a rousing rendition of Suzie Q…played specifically for the Squeezie Suzie cows…and everybody was happy

 Thanks to all who stopped by the Get Set Marketing booth…we had so much fun connecting with clients and friends…we met a lot of new people and Cheddar Belle and the herd of Squeezie Suzie’s look forward to hearing from them, and perhaps even seeing some pictures.  Take a picture of your new cow at work, or at play and send it in to us: info@getsetmarketing.com Word on the street has it that Squeezie just came back from a cruise to Bermuda, so be on the lookout for those picutres in the next blog update.
