Local businesses honor 10 mothers by Kathy Parks This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Mother’s Day and several local businesses came together in a contest that showered 10 mothers with Mother’s Day gifts from each. Beginning in March, friends and family members nominated their favorite mother by dropping their name and contact information in a bowl at Flowers of Kingwood, On the Park Candy Story, Jeweler’s Bench, Best Wishes Gifts, Cypress Wood Gracious Living and The Tribune. Names of the lucky mothers
were drawn on April 30 and they gathered on May 6 to receive their
prizes and certificates. Winners were mothers living in Kingwood,
Huffman and Humble. The lucky ladies are: Yvonne Callicott, Julie
Steptoe, Sheryll Richards, Dr. Elaine Scott, Adele Marshall, Sheri
Staggs, Nicole Watkins, Nelda Light and Julie Lindenmath.
Some of the mothers chosen had their names dropped in each sponsor’s bowl; others entered only once. The sponsors said that the contest generated a lot of interest. More than 298 entries were received. The local
contest tied in to a larger national competition. Participants who
logged onto the Flowers
of
Kingwood web site could enter a connected
Teleflora contest and were eligible to take home $25,000 and appear on
the “Today Show.” The local winners were presented the same 100th
anniversary commemorative Teleflora vase presented to the national
winner on the NBC Mother’s Day television special, which aired on
Sunday. SOURCE: www.ourtribune.com |
