Calling All Winners of Local Best Tasting Contests: Deadline is Fast Approaching to Enter Inaugural National Best Tasting Contest Sponsored by Wyler’s Light
BY STEVEN GORDON, LEMONADE DAY NATIONAL PRESIDENT
Wyler’s Light and Lemonade Day national team members are searching for flavorful and creative lemonade recipes for the Inaugural National Best Tasting Contest. Local Best Tasting Contest winners in participating Lemonade Day cities are eligible to submit their recipes and photos by June 20 and compete to win a $300 prize plus national recognition via Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms managed by Wyler’s Light and Lemonade Day.
Wyler’s Light has contributed $10,000 to support the 2019 National Best Tasting Lemonade Contest as the sponsor of this contest hosted by the Lemonade Day national youth entrepreneurship program. Contest rules are outlined at lemonadeday.org/national-best-tasting-contest-official-rules.
Wyler’s Light is the perfect sponsor for our inaugural Lemonade Day National Best Tasting Contest. The Wyler’s Light team graciously distributed lemonade mixes, coupons, and novelty stickers to our young participants this spring in Lemonade Day markets across the U.S. and has agreed to fund the cost of the ingredients that our Lemonade Day National Best Tasting Contest judges will use for recipe testing. We appreciate that Wyler’s Light products represent an affordable and convenient alternative to high calorie sodas and juices. Because Wyler’s Light appeals to families with young children, Wyler’s Light consumers are very likely to be mentoring or raising kids like the ones we are targeting for Lemonade Day. Wyler’s Light is readily available in supermarkets, dollar stores, drug stores and online in a wide range of flavors and packages. We are sure to benefit now and in the future from the extensive brand reach that Wyler’s Light enjoys.
Engaging with Lemonade Day and Wyler’s Light
Wyler’s Light brand ambassadors traveled to Houston in May to sample homemade lemonade recipes and interview young lemonade business owners during Lemonade Day activities in a range of venues—farmer’s markets, parks and churches, to name a few.
