Hannaford "Create a New Summer Holiday" Contest

How would you like to invent the next holiday? Well, Hannaford is giving you that opportunity starting July 22, called “Create a New Summer Holiday”. Hannaford thought it would be fun to pose a question, “July has the 4th, September has Labor Day, what about a holiday for August?”

Here is where you come in to play. Make sure to head on over to Hannaford's Facebook page to enter your invented August holiday. Tell them what you would serve for food at this make-believe summer holiday and maybe where and how you would serve it. I am sure there will be some doozies and I too can’t wait to see all of them myself (and I am not even employed by Hannaford).

The prizes for this contest are pretty amazing, they are as follows:

• $1,000 Hannaford Gift Card for 1st Place

• $250 Hannaford Gift Card for 2nd Place

• $100 Hannaford Gift Card for 3rd Place

Everyone who enters will get a coupon (not sure what that coupon will be, but hey, it’s a coupon - that’s savings in your pocket!)

The contest closes August 14th and judging will begin on August 15th.

So get your creative minds flowing and start planning this fun contest now.

Let me know if you’re a winner and what you plan on doing with that gift card. Will you have your “made-up” holiday or use it towards monthly groceries?

Enjoy and Good Luck!!!

Celebrate Summer with Solo! Fun Photo Contest

Our friends at Solo are back this summer with their second annual Solo Online Photo Contest! And like last year, they are unveiling new must-have product just in time for summer barbecues. Solo Squared™ plates and bowls are the perfect complement to their popular Squared cup. These durable, single-use cups, plates and bowls cut down on clean-up time, which means more time for summer fun!

Speaking of fun, how does winning great prizes sound? The Solo Cup Company has launched their second annual online photo contest with a grand prize of $5,000 for the best photo featuring Solo products. You'll be able to enter your favorite photos at SoloCups4Ever until August 6th. In addition to the grand prize, two $1,000 runner-up prizes will be awarded at the end of the contest. By entering, you'll also have the chance to win daily and weekly prizes of gift certificates and Solo products- a great way to extend the fun of summer well into the fall!

Wow, these are some fun shapes!  I like the "square" look to plastic (throw-away) plates.  It is an almost sophisticated look at a bargain price.  How awesome is this contest???  If you are anything like me, you LOVE to have cookouts at your home.  Having family and friends over is very important to us and it is something we enjoy doing - ALOT!  We also love Solo products.  Solo products are very durable, reliable and kid friendly (tee hee hee)...

Definately take part in this wonderful contest with Solo Cup Company.  Have some friends over, take some pictures with your Solo products and enter them here.  I have my daughters 8th birthday coming up AND my son's graduation from College.  We have already bought stock in Solo products, so this should be fun submitting pictures.

Good luck everyone!!!
