eating is the hard part

When B & O asked me to volunteer some of my time for a cookie baking fundraiser, I jumped at the chance to sign up for every day I could. Baking…cookies..good people, how could I not sign up. I also thought it would be provide me with a great opportunity to haul my camera along and film the adventure. And this is exactly what I did. So here you have it, my first attempt to shoot, edit, and document the 4 day process. Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time and beer, for well, being beer.

*Just a quick update. B mentioned on Facebook that we raised over $2,800! What an awesome result.

Okay, so here’s the deal gang. I have a giveaway! That’s right, 2 tickets to the Edmonton Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival which is just around the corner. Having gone to this event more than a few times now, I can say that it is easily one of the better events you can attend. You get to mingle with other food lovers and drink aficionados’ while meeting producers, chefs, wine makers and more. If you can grab a few friends to accompany your night of food and wine, I think it could be a very memorable time. Plus, at least in my experience, it will introduce you to something you didn’t know about or were worried about buying. All in all, it’s a win-win situation.

So here’s the deal, I have two (2) tickets for the Friday, October 21 session (4-10pm).  When presented at the door, these tickets will allow for complimentary access into the Grand Tasting Hall.  Tickets are not transferable to Saturday’s session.  Please note that all attendees will need to purchase sampling coupons (50 cents each) to use in exchange for samples of food, wine and other beverages.  This is an adult only event.  All attendees must be 18 years or older.   Minors (including infants) are not permitted to attend. **The winner, selected by random.org, is comment number 7 – Linda**

The rules of the giveaway are as such; tell me the best thing you’ve ever won in the comment section. It could be a free trip from a radio station, a bag of chips, or a high five. I’ll close the giveaway this upcoming Sunday (16th), at 5PM MST, and hold a random draw. You’ll need to put a valid email in the appropriate box when telling me your story (not in the comment itself), so that I can contact you. Now, let’s have some fun and hear what you’ve won!!!!
