BBQ’s, baseball, spending the afternoon sitting by a pool, all of these bring to mind the lazy days of summer.  However, so do jellyfish stings, bees, wasps, mosquito and fire ant bites.  While the “pink lotion” is still trusted to sooth those pesky bites, it’s not very attractive. So what is an attractive solution to tame that skin irritation? AfterBite Kids, AfterBite Outdoor, and AfterBite Xtra!  Instant relief with no “pink” after effects! AfterBite Kids uses Sodium Bicarbonate as an active ingredient to kill the itch while protecting the delicate skin of your child or grandchild. AfterBite Outdoor and AfterBite Xtra contain Ammonia as their counterirritant.   This is a summer must have if you are going to be spending time outdoors!  For more information about all of the insect repellants and aftercare we provide, please Click Here! 2011-06-21T19:50:03+00:00 http://www.long-grass.com/news/article/where_valor_lives/ http://www.long-grass.com/news/article/where_valor_lives/#When:19:44:32Z We all know that Christmas and Easter have been overly commercialized and if you listen to any radio or TV ads, you will hear them shout to you that Memorial Day is “the beginning of summer”. No, my friends, it is not. This day has so much deeper significance than a mere changing of the seasons. This is the day to pay our respect, deepest admiration and appreciation to the brave and valiant men and women who gave their lives for our freedoms. Memorial Day began as many separate services throughout the towns of America honoring and remembering those who died in our nation’s service. As far back as the Civil War ladies of the South were recorded decorating the graves of the Confederate dead. Congress made the day into a three-day weekend in the National Holiday Act of 1971. As time has gone by, the focus has shifted away from the true meaning into another reason to grill and party. In December 2000, President Clinton passed the “National Moment of Remembrance” resolution to help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day. The resolution calls for all Americans “To pause for one minute at 3pm local time on Memorial Day to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to provide freedom for all. We encourage you to take the time this Memorial Day to stop and take the time to remember the sacrifices that have been made for you and me. ~Melody Rutkowski I leave you to your weekend with this poem by Moina Michael. (A poem that inspired the tradition of wearing red poppies on Memorial day.) We cherish too, the Poppy red That grows on fields where valor led, It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies. Words to Taps Day is done, gone the sun, From the hills, from the lake, From the skies. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, May the soldier or sailor, God keep. On the land or the deep, Safe in sleep. Love, good night, Must thou go, When the day, And the night Need thee so? All is well. Speedeth all To their rest. Fades the light; And afar Goeth day, And the stars Shineth bright, Fare thee well; Day has gone, Night is on. Thanks and praise, For our days, 'Neath the sun, Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky, As we go,This we know, God is nigh.   News 2011-05-26T19:44:32+00:00 http://www.long-grass.com/news/article/new_office_hours/ http://www.long-grass.com/news/article/new_office_hours/#When:17:51:38Z Beginning May 23, 2011 our offices hours will be Tuesday through Friday from 10 am to 2 pm.  All orders that are placed over the weekend will be processed and shipped on Tuesday.    News 2011-05-22T17:51:38+00:00 http://www.long-grass.com/news/article/time_to_stock_up/ http://www.long-grass.com/news/article/time_to_stock_up/#When:21:03:51Z We have put all of our clothing on close-out and this is the perfect opportunity for you to stock up on our quality Long Grass clothing at a greatly discounted price. Click on the picture or on "more details" to see the sale price. Current market conditions along with our own Long Grass business objectives are guiding us to focus on different products. The rising price of cotton and increased fuel cost is having a direct impact on our clothing line (most of which we import from South Africa). In order to keep the same quality of shirt we would have to raise the prices to $70-$75 per shirt. The good news is that our Long Grass shirts just don't wear out. And, if market conditions change, we will consider carrying this line again. But, for now we will continue to offer all other Long Grass products including gear, hats, socks, medical kits, and our famous Long Grass shooting sticks. In addition, we will be adding more gear in the coming months that we believe will be of great value to you while on safari. If you have any questions, please give us a call! Happy Safari!!
