Indiana State Fair 23 is a wrap. Had an amazing time talking with 100’s of potential new BONZ Diggers. Thanks Megz for helping out! Peace

Strike a pose… BONZ Barb BQ sauce makes everything a masterpiece. Try some! Online at www.jpopeunlimited.com

On a bridge over yummy fixin’s …BONZ won’t let you down…

Thanks Kroger/Payless for putting BONZ in an easy to spot, spot. People tell me all the time they can’t find BONZ. It appears most look for BONZ in the sauce aisle. BTW- BONZ Barb BQ sauce is in the meat department, and up until now, it was on a small book shelf, although I was grateful for ANY spot, BONZ was difficult to find. So this new positioning is
UH-MAZING.

Please SHARE this great news with 100 of your closest friends.

IDK but to keep this killer spot, I think it needs to be in everyBODY’s cart. ; )

Thanks for the pic TKB

Some pics from House of BONZ presents…The Greater Lafayette Talent Show in 2022. What a night to remember. We have some tremendous talent in our town. So excited to see who will be competing this year for a chance to win $500 1st place, $250 2nd place, $100 3rd place.

Auditions are coming up soon at Duncan Hall on Wednesday August 30 & September 6, 2023. Cost to audition is $15. Top performances will advance to the Talent Show on September 23, 2023.

BONZ sponsors these events to benefit a non-profit and this year the recipient will again be Thomas Duncan Hall where 100% of the proceeds will go for continued preservation of this historic gem in downtown Lafayette.

Please call me with questions 765.491.7125.

BONZ Diggers get anxious when this happens. They say “it’s the worst feeling” when they are out. What a great compliment. : )
There is a cure in sight…

Have a great week all!!! Thanks for the pic BD!!!!!

BREAKING BONZ NEWZ

THANK YOU THANK YOU KROGER and Payless for putting BONZ Barb BQ Sauce in these easy to spot new locations.

BONZ Diggers unite, please SHARE this with your friends/family too. KROGER’s been amazingly supportive of BONZ over a decade. They have shown dedication to supporting local businesses. BONZ Barb BQ sauce can NOW be found in the meat department on a bridge over chicken. Look for both Original & BOLD flavors.

This BONZ Barb BQ sauce hometown (west side) Payless is incredible. I am humbled and grateful for the space. Thanks for being cool.

I could use some help getting this newz out to everyBODY you know that has a Kroger store in our great State of Indiana. Sampling now at the IN State Fair I’m hearing this comment from fair goers too many times…”I’ve looked for your sauce, and I can’t find it”!
So now with this move, BONZ is much easier to find. Yay!!

Let’s have some fun…If you think of it, and your shopping at Kroger, you see BONZ, snap a shot and post it here for a chance to win a Box of BONZ. (4 bottles). A winner will be announced at the end of August.

Enjoy your time!

O M G what a day!! BONZ hit the road to Bucyrus, OH to visit Pickwick Farms. This is not just a market, it’s a destination. Flower gardens you pick, fields of sunflowers, tomato fields, the fresh produce is exquisite. So guess what? They are giving me some shelf space to rest my BONZ!!! So freaking awesome!
(Short story)
They discovered BONZ Barb BQ sauce in Kansas City when both original and BOLD flavors finished in the top 5 sauces at the 32nd annual American Royal BBQ Sauce World Series. BONZ BOLD was named the 2019 Best Sauce on the Planet out of 400 sauces (which represented 38 States and 8 countries)Sorry, I digress…ha!

A family member of Pickwick Farms sampled BONZ at that event in KC and connected and asked if they could carry BONZ in their market, and use it in their Cafe also. So cool, BONZ just brings people together in the most magical ways. Freaking awesome. Enjoy these pics, and please stop in and visit Pickwick Farms if your in the Bucyrus area, or check out their website for online shopping options.

Peace,
Jules

Indiana State Fair 2023

Introducing BONZ Barb BQ sauce to the world is such a joy. We’ve been sampling in the AG/Hort Bldg with Indiana Grown Marketplace. (They’ve done a beautiful job representing IN made products in the market) we had the pleasure of sampling with Guys Cooking Creation. Super nice and has great sauces too. But getting reactions from wandering fair goers who are enamored with tasting BBQ sauce with a pretzel twist cracks me up. We sampled 100’s and 100’s of people over the weekend, and it’s fascinating to hear their stories. My personal favorites were the ones when they walked by, looking at our banner, they said, “got some in my fridge”. Haha so awesome!!
(Quick flashback )
Which made me think about 10 years ago, I held my first bottle of BONZ Barb BQ sauce in my hand. I remember opening the box and there it was. It was the first time I saw my thought turned into reality. I couldn’t believe I was holding the finished product, in a bottle, with a label, and (OMG) a UPC Code. I was freaking out. It was truly an amazing experience. But I was also horrified NO ONE had ever heard of BONZ and how could I get the BONZ label on a family table. I seriously had no idea what it would take to get that done. I had no clue about dealing with grocery stores, festivals, markets, the public, etc. and wow, it’s been a crazy ride so far.

This weekend with BONZ at the State Fair was a great reminder that food connects all people. I greatly appreciate the joy it gives me to have people say how much they love BONZ, how they hide their BONZ from family and friends when they come over, they are not interested in sharing, I was asked if BONZ came with a straw…stuff like that. Which was a far cry from a decade ago with me asking people if they would like to try BONZ and they said no thanks! We’ve come a long way. : ) THANK YOU!!!!

High 5 and REALLY BIG hugs to my 2nd born Megz, thanks for your time, I Love You! Boy, she can peddle BONZ like no other.
So much fun!

Have a great week everyBODY!!

Jules

Will be sampling at the IN State Fair tomorrow in the AG/HORT building from 11 a - 2 p. Stop by the IN Grown Marketplace and see all their amazing Indiana edibles and treats.

Stay hydrated, it’s gonna be a smoker!!!

Peace

For your viewing pleasure!! A lot of favorite edibles in this BONZ Digger pic! Thanks so much for sharing.

Hey, I’m feeling spontaneous…to celebrate us all, maybe it’s time to give away some BONZ Barb BQ sauce. How about a Box of BONZ (4 bottles of liquid heaven) shipped any where in this good ole USA, just because. It’s cool to if you want to mix the original and BOLD flavors, a combo box. If you’re interested in joining the fun, kindly post the next number from the previous post and I’ll randomly draw a winner on Friday 7/28 at high noon! Please SHARE with your friends so they have a chance to win too. : )

Who’s going to be number 1? Have a great day!!

Have a great Summer weekend!

I have ordered Bonz for many years. I now retired to Long Lake WI. This will be my 11th Rib smoke off. I have hosted this non-professional rib smoke off in both Illinois and Wisconsin. I have o won many trophies using your amazing barbecue sauce. Thank you for shipping it to us folks that live further away from you. It's definitely the best sauce on the market.
