I Won a Contest!


...a real one, not a scam. A while back, I entered a national contest sponsored by Dreyer's Ice Cream. The challenge was to explain why your neighborhood deserved a bock party this summer. I wrote a short essay about the changing demographics of Sunset Oaks, the townhouse development where I live (and sell properties.) Young families attracted by the good schools are replacing seniors who move because the stairs in most of the units become too much for them. We are becoming very International, too, and saris mix with blue jeans.
Anyway, my entry in Dreyer’s Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute contest entry has been selected as a grand-prize winner! In just a few weeks I will receive a delivery of their ice cream and a 'Party in a Box' with all the necessary supplies to host a summer block party for up to 100 friends and neighbors.
What fun!
