DALLAS, June 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants announced the winner of its Dickey's Appreciates Dads Facebook contest. New dad, Jason Mair, will receive a Dickey's Appreciates Dads prize pack that includes Dickey's nationally acclaimed rib rub, signature barbecue sauce, Dickey's t-shirt and a $20 gift card. The winning photo was submitted by Jason's wife, Margaret.

"I think my husband deserves the prize pack because he is a great dad," said Margaret Jacobus-Mair.  "Jason loves taking Hudson to Dickey's and I'm sure when he gets older it will become a father-son tradition."

The Facebook contest began June 1 and asked Dickey's fans to show their love by uploading a picture of themselves and their dad. The contest was a fun way to spotlight dads across the country. The winning picture was of Jason and his new baby Hudson.

"Jason thinks that mouthwatering barbecue should be enjoyed by everyone," said Jacobus-Mair.  "We love the Dickey's in Heber City!"
