Consumers can save on Tyson Wings and Boneless Wings plus Marzetti® Dips.

Online, consumers can vote for their favorite wing and dip combination to be entered to win instant prizes and for a chance at the grand prize of an all-expenses paid trip to a college basketball game of their choice. Look for it March 7, 2011 - April 15, 2011.
