8/20/12: 2nd Clue for the 'Summer Strawberry' Contest from Edible Arrangements

Last week I shared Edible Arrangements find the 'Summer Strawberry' contest and it is time for the next clue.  But first I had to share with you this beautiful Edible Arrangement called Confetti Fruit Cupcake.  The cupcakes in this are really Pineapple dipped in white and semisweet chocolate and are so delicious.  The whole arrangement was so yummy and gone within no time in my house.

 Look at how beautiful this is.  The fruit was so fresh and beautifully cut.  I felt so bad to eat it as it was so pretty to look at.  After a few pictures the family and I dug right in and I got rave reviews from all.
  
As I said before, there will be four consecutive Wednesdays, from August 15-September 5, where ‘Summer Strawberry’ will be making an appearance during a pre-selected 2-hour time period.  Here is the "Summer Strawberry" last week.

Here is the Second Set of Clues for Wednesday, August 22nd from 2 P.M.- 4 P.M.

Clues:

- ‘Summer Strawberry’ will be stopping by the second largest city in New England on its tour of Massachusetts and New Hampshire! The city, which is about 40 miles west of Boston, was named after a city in England.

- ‘Summer Strawberry’ will be visiting the Edible Arrangements store off of Rte. 122, in between Ingleside Avenue Historic Park and Lake Avenue.

- The store is located in XXXXXXX Plaza, a plaza that is named after the town in Cape Cod that was made famous by the Kennedy’s vacation compound. After stopping in to visit ‘Summer Strawberry,’ you can grab a slice at a popular pizza chain whose slogan is, ‘Better Ingredients. Better Pizza,’ or stop by a tax prep company located in the plaza.

8/13/12: Scavenger Hunt with Edible Arrangements

One of my favorite foods during the summer is fruit!  You can't beat biting in to some juicy watermelon or a big plump strawberry.  Edible Arrangements makes the most beautiful creations out of fruit.  Doesn't this new one make your mouth water.  This would be perfect for a kid's birthday party as it is centered around the cupcake, but a healthy kind!  I absolutely love Chocolate covered strawberries!  Plus the cupcakes are really Pineapple dipped in white and semisweet chocolate.  Double Yum!

I wanted to share their Summer Scavenger Hunt so you can get some fruit for free.  The hunt is on to find the Edible Arrangements Summer Strawberry.  The scavenger hunt will only be taking place in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire stores*.

There will be four consecutive Wednesdays, from August 15-September 5, where ‘Summer Strawberry’ will be making an appearance during a pre-selected 2-hour time period.

7/28/12: GUND "Top Dog" Contest

Do you think your dog is the most beautiful, best dressed, does he/she resemble you or is he so ugly only you can love him?  Get ready for the first ever GUND “Top Dog” Contest with a grand prize of “the Boo treatment” - a limited edition GUND plush in the winning pup’s likeness!  This is our dog Fred.  He is a Shetland Sheepdog and he is such a love.  He was our first baby.  

Inspired by the wildly-popular "World's Cutest Dog" Boo stuffed dog from GUND, the “Top Dog” Contest invites dog's parents from around the country to submit photos of their own four-footed friends on the GUND Facebook page in one or all of the following four categories:

· Most Beautiful Dog

The Grand Prize will have tails wagging; GUND will create a limited edition model of the winner’s dog. The dog will be available in gift and toy stores in 2013. That’s right! Your pup could become a GUND plush just like Boo!  I know my son has a dog stuffed animal that looks similar to Fred and he used to love to sleep with him.

The contest goes until August 15th. 

Winners will be chosen the week of August 20th and announced the week of August 27th.

For the first time Evan and Lauren entered the coloring contest at Market Basket. See my earlier post of her and her brother with their colored pictures. It took them two days to color and they worked very hard. Well I can't believe it but Lauren won the $50 gift card to Toys R Us. Here she is with her card. Her picture is the one in the far upper left hand corner.

And the sign with her name!
