Head’s up family & friends:
We’ll be needing your help soon!
Ted was selected as a Top 10 finalist out of thousands of entries for the 3rd annual Cintas & Carhartt Cold Crew Contest. Meaning, he has a 1 in 10 chance of being voted the grand prize winner – which is accompanied by a trip for two to the June 2014 CMA Music Festival in Nashville…and that would be such an amazing and well-deserved reward for him to win. Especially since he’s always working so hard, in so many capacities, to help support our family, and vacations that are anything but free are just not within our means, so this would be an incredible treat. The contest celebrates people who endure extreme winter working conditions – and over the years Ted has purchased many warm and durable Carhartt clothing items that have kept him safe, dry, and warm while working grueling 18-hour days disassembling, by hand, multi-ton industrial machines, outdoors, in biting sub-zero temps with frigid wind chills and blowing snow. I am so proud of this guy and thankful for companies like Carhartt that make strong, safe, and warm clothing to protect him.
Online voting will open in mid-March, and the winner will be announced in early April. The great thing is that since this contest is a one-vote-per-person kind of thing, you only have to vote ONCE. Last year Ted worked his tail off scrounging up enough votes for me (and my Pear Weather Friend drink recipe) to win two free tickets to the New York State Ice Wine Festival. I had an amazing time and desperately want to return the favor!
As soon as the online voting opens, I’ll let everyone know. If you could please give the one-minute it will take to vote for Ted when online voting opens (and share the voting link with anyone you know so we can get him as many votes as possible!), we would deeply appreciate your help!
Thank you for always being so wonderful and supportive of us!
