A Stimulating Package for Farm Visitors

Maris Farms is happy to contribute to these tough economic times with the inaugural and hopefully annual “Pumpkinomic Stimulus” Sweepstakes this fall. Opening weekend visitors to the farm will have an opportunity to not only purchase that perfect pumpkin but earn money or prizes while doing it.

The “Pumpkin-Omic Stimulus” Sweepstakes is an on-site promotional event intended to celebrate Maris Farms’ 10-year anniversary and stimulate a buzz at the Buckley farm, which started as a small pumpkin patch.  What better way to “stimulate” excitement AND draw a crowd than with an opportunity to win, at no cost to the customer, cash and prizes of up to $300. This is a drawing for cash and/or prizes in which participants can submit their entries BEFORE entering the farm inside designated “pumpkin” container(s) located just outside the entry gate. Participants will also be able to submit their entry into pumpkin containers located just inside the gate and at/near the pumpkin patch.

Here’s how it’ll work:
At 10  minutes past each hour - from 10:10 am to 5:10 pm on opening weekend only - five winners will be randomly drawn from a pumpkin container where participants have dropped their “Pumpkin-Omic Stimulus Sweepstakes” entry form. Those whose names are drawn will win one of the many cash or prize items made available by our participating partners. Cash prizes will range between $25-$300, while prizes will include such items as certificates for food, gift shop items or venue passes at the farm, coffee or restaurant certificates and other items provided by participating sponsors.

Winners will be drawn randomly from the “pumpkin” container(s) at 10 minutes past the hour inside or near the pumpkin patch – again, in honor of how Maris Farms started (as a pumpkin patch) and its 10 year run at the current location.

Chances of winning depend on total amount of entries received. On-site entries will be accepted only on Saturday, Oct. 3rd, 2009 & Sunday, Oct. 4^th, 2009 from 10 am to 5 pm each day. Off-site entries will be accepted by no later than Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009, 5 pm by US Mail or personal delivery. Off-site entries can be mailed or delivered to 24713 Sumner-Buckley Hwy, Buckley, WA 98321. Winners need not be present to win. Those not present will be notified in writing via e-mail, text or snail mail.

Look for additional prizes and discount certificates to be provided by our participating partners during this promotion. All participating partners may also be handing out “gift bags” with special discount coupons and/or certificates. No purchase is necessary to participate and winners need not be present.
