Winder Farms, which is, I think, the last Salt Lake-area dairy to deliver milk to families’ front doors, is having a contest — subscribers have decorated their milk coolers, and the public gets to vote on the favorite. Winner gets their milk delivery for free for the next year.
Among several terrific entries is the one created by my LDS neighbors, with their three young children: the “Monster” cooler pictured here. If you’re so inclined, please help them win by voting — no registration required, no spam resulting. One vote per IP (which levels the playing field, after the first go-round generated more than 6,000 votes for one entry by a contestant who created an automated program to generate votes as fast as the poll could handle them — that’s one reason I’m so willing to promote my friends’ entry). Thanks.
Links in other blogs’ sidebars ( http://poll.fm/1ez29 ) are solicited.
Now back to your regularly scheduled Mormon history …
I misunderstood the prize — the delivery charges are waived for a year; it isn’t that they get free milk. Still, that’s quite a prize for such a convenience.
It was the best, but I thought R2 was a close contender.
And, by the way, you can’t go off topic on your own blog.
Yeah, I loved the R2D2 one, too — and the train. The whole contest is a clever one.
I like your ruling on the topicality, too. Just don’t want readers to feel cheated!
Thanks, Eric.
Oh I miss Winder milk! Anyone remember Beep?
This is a great idea for a contest. I grew up on Winder Lane and remember Ned’s brightly decorated house and the non-stop traffic that jammed the street every night at this time of year.
I live out of state now but I hope Ned’s grandsons are keeping the house decorated as vibrant as ever. Decorating the delivery boxes is a wonderful way to honor the legacy of the lights on Winder Lane.
PS: Beep! Was great, but the old fruit punch was the best Summer drink. Winder Egg Nog is still the best I’ve ever tasted.
What was Beep!?
