This year's Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, which we held at Joe's Bar, was a major success! We raffled off $100 Visa Gift Card, Patrick Kane Blackhawks jersey, a spa package, iTunes Gift Cards and we even sold a few dozen Ugy Christmas Sweaters; all of the proceeds will be donated to The Shriners (www.shrinershq.org) to help children receive the proper medical attention they deserve. The party was rockin' as Sixteen Candles put on one heck of a show! Here are a few pictures from the event, enjoy! Team Ugly December 24, 2010 From Ugly From Ads From Ugly From Ugly From Ugly From..

Team Ugly (mostly Kevin) made good on a promise to our Facebook Fans! We sent out a message to the community, that if we could reach 1,500 Fans before the end of November, we would gather up the leftover pumpkin pie and smash it into Kevin's face! Well, as you've likely already noticed; Kevin was a good sport.  Wearing an Ugly Christmas Sweater that played Jingle Bells through a tiny speaker, he took it like a man. Enjoy! Head over to our Facebook Fan page to join in on the fun.  Team Ugly December 1, 2010
