- Families Can Enter to Win an Exclusive Backstage Dinner at GetBacktotheTable.com -

MARION, N.Y., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Libby's Vegetables serve up a side of country this September by offering an exclusive chance to enjoy dinner backstage with RCA Recording Artist, Sara Evans. The national contest is part of Get Back to the Table month -- a celebration of the many benefits of family dinnertime. Moms and dads can visit GetBacktotheTable.com for a chance to win tickets to a Sara Evans concert and share dinnertime stories backstage.

"Because our family of nine has a very hectic schedule, family dinnertime is a very important part of our day," explains Sara Evans. "Even on tour we make dinnertime a priority. We all meet in catering at 5pm and have dinner together. It's truly a favorite part of the day and gives us a chance to catch-up and to enjoy one another's company."

Just like Sara Evans, many busy moms and dads cook up creative ideas for bringing their families together and keep dinnertime entertaining. Libby's Vegetables is inviting parents to share their creative tips and ideas for gathering the kids around the dinner table at GetBacktotheTable.com . The family with the most creative tip will have the opportunity to celebrate family dinnertime backstage with Sara during one of her concerts.

Sara Evans' fans can also listen to the country superstar's modern version of the iconic Libby's jingle -- as well as an exclusive bluegrass BONUS track -- at GetBacktotheTable.com . Sara's version of the jingle will be airing on country music radio stations across the country all month-long!

Dinnertime is Quality Time but Hectic for Moms

A number of studies show family bonding at the dinner table has many benefits for children -- time spent together can reduce drug use(1), lead to better nutrition(2), encourage confidence(3) and promote success in the classroom(4). It's also the most popular bonding time. In a recent survey by Mom Central Consulting(5) and Libby's Vegetables, four-in-five (83%) moms said they bond with their kids while eating meals. However, the same study found dinner preparation is the most stressful time for moms.

"Libby's has always been committed to helping families enjoy convenient, great-tasting meals and time together around the table," said Bruce Wolcott, Vice President of Marketing. "As families head back to overscheduled lives this fall, Get Back to the Table month is our way of reminding parents of the importance of family dinnertime. At GetBacktotheTable.com , we're empowering families by offering them convenient recipes, unique tools and timesaving tips."
