Hi Everyone,
I do not have a recipe for you today, but I do have something that is sure to put a smile on your face and the face of others. This opportunity came to me a pinch late and with other prior commitments this week, I didn’t have time to prepare a recipe. But one thing you know is that I love Ocean Spray. I have become kind of addicted to their Cranberry Diet Line. Whenever I have had a BBQ this summer, I am sure to bring a bottle of Ocean Spray with me. That way I stay away from the boos and other high calorie drinks. I can drink the diet line completely guilt-free. As you can see from past posts, I have made some wonderful creations using Ocean Spray such as my Cranberry Lemonade Popsicles.
Remember back in June when I talked about the Ocean Spray Sensational Awards? You nominated someone who makes your day sunny and they could win a trip anywhere in the US. Well they narrowed it down to three deserving people and we need your help.
Here are the nominees:
Dee Lopez, 78, of Lomita CA; Lara Stanze, 46, of Smithville, MO; and Joe Coyle, 47, of Christiansburg, VA have never met, but they have one thing in common: all three have been selected as finalists to receive Ocean Spray’s Sun-sational Award, an all-expense-paid trip anywhere in the U.S., compliments of Ocean Spray® CranlLemonade™ and JetBlue Airways. Fans can vote to send their favorite finalist on a sun-sational summer getaway now through Thursday, July 25 on Ocean Spray’s Facebook page.
You can learn more about Lopez, Stanze and Coyle by viewing their stories online at Ocean Spray’s Facebook page. A winner will be announced on Friday, July 26.
So what is the giveaway for you? Ocean Spray is kind enough to give one of my readers a $100 gift card to help towards your sunny giveaway.
- Cast your vote for one of three deserving finalists and send them on a sunny, summer getaway! Just go here! Just be sure you come back and tell me who you voted for.
