    14 Days Left!

    Hola to the new backers!

    So we've got just 14 days left and there's almost $3000 to raise!

    Happy Valley is now being featured on Kickstarter's blog (was on their Tumblr, so we got promoted). There's a couple things in the works promotionally, so I'll keep you guys posted.

    Thanks
