CREATING A NEW HALLOWEEN CLASSIC,
reclaiming innovation and scoring the coolest (Haunted) Weekend Getaway ever!
CLASSIC: Enduring excellence, timeless. A classic becomes a part of the fabric of our lives.
Some “classics” are born in a moment of inspiration; others mix collaboration and a vision. Either way, “classic” is an elusive standard these days. Does anyone even strive for “classic” anymore? Does anyone even know how? This isn’t merely a “contest” or “challenge”; it’s a search to reclaim the spirit of innovation that has gone into hiding. “Good enough” is not good enough any longer. It’s time to start thinking “classic” caliber once again and…well…why not start in the kitchen?
Somebody’s Mother’s Chocolate Sauce is betting on the creativity and ingenuity of the American people. Just as Ruth Wakefield created the Toll House Cookie, Somebody’s Mother’s is sure that others (whether culinary novices, or bona fide pros) have what it takes to create a true classic. A “classic” can start anywhere…even a contest. Somebody’s Mother’s proposes this: Create a new, original, Halloween “classic” treat. Make it a new standard! Somebody’s Mother’s knows something about high standards. SMCS offers all-natural, gourmet, award-winning & gluten-free Chocolate, Caramel and White Chocolate w/Pear William sauces. The challenge is on at: http://www.somebodysmothers.com/createaclassictreat.
The contest runs from September 7, 2011 thru October 25, 2011. Winners are announced on 10/31/11!
And that’s not all… The GRAND PRIZE includes: A Haunted Weekend Getaway (good thru June 30, 2012) for the first place winner plus guest at the magnificent HOTEL del CORONADO in San Diego, CA. The prize includes: airfare for two, deluxe accommodations, a $500 VISA Gift Card and a grand selection of CLASSIC THRILLERS on DVD/BluRay to celebrate the Halloween season. FIVE RUNNER-UP WINNERS will EACH receive grand selections of DVD/BluRay CLASSIC THRILLERS, $100 VISA GIFT CARDS and an array of Halloween treats including Somebody’s Mother’s Gift Sets.
The Hotel del Coronado is exceptional resort luxury. It is world-renowned for its 123-year history of hosting celebrities, presidents and dignitaries from around the globe. The legendary resort is almost equally famous for its ghostly visitors, which have reportedly been around for almost as long as the hotel itself. Discover more at http://www.hoteldel.com/.
