Celebrate BC with @White_Spot and @hummingbird604 (contest)

My love for the province of British Columbia can’t be denied (if anybody wants to, just read through my Travel, Dance, Theatre or British Columbia categories to see how much I have written about my home province). And I always love taking any opportunity I have to celebrate BC. Be it by travelling within the province, eating BC-grown fruits and vegetables, or witnessing BC-created art, I love celebrating BC. White Spot wants you to join them and Celebrate BC and I have a couple of gift cards ($25 each one) plus a bottle of BC wine to give away in a promotion so that you, too, can Celebrate BC with White Spot and Hummingbird604.com.

To create White Spot’s Legendary Burgers, fresh-cut fries and famous blueberry pies, more than 675,000 pounds of tomatoes, almost 5,000,000 pounds of Kennebec potatoes and 73,000 pounds of blueberries are used each year – all supplied by B.C. producers. This year the restaurant is deepening its commitment to local food and drink with its 100 per cent B.C. wine list. From now until early September, White Spot guests are invited to enjoy delicious new Celebrate BC menu items, including signature creations, like Truffled Mushroom Flatbread, Candied Salmon Cavatappi and Candied Salmon Spinach Salad.

I should also point out that White Spot is pairing their Celebrate BC items with BC VQA Wine. Check out their wine list!

All you need to do to enter my giveaway is to check out White Spot’s Celebrate BC menu and tell me in a comment on this post which item you would like to try (have you checked the Candied Salmon Spinach Salad? YUM!). I have 2 prize packs to give away ($25 gift certificate and a bottle of BC wine), so there will be 2 lucky winners this time!

Additional modes of entry include, of course, Pinterest and Instagram. And obviously, if you do all modes of entry, I’ll accumulate them all (e.g. if you do Twitter, comment and Pinterest, you have 3 entries, and so on and so forth). Total maximum entries is 5 (five), and if you win through one of them, your other entries will be void so that somebody else can win (this is just to ensure 2 different readers can enjoy the Celebrate BC prize pack).

Entry # 1: Comment on this post on which White Spot Celebrate BC menu item you’d like to try.

Entry # 2: Post the following on Twitter:

Told @hummingbird604 which @White_Spot item I want to try http://is.gd/BD8NkR 2 enter 2 win a #HCelebrateBC $25 GC + 1 bottle #BCWine

Entry # 3: Re-pin my Pin of this post.

Entry # 4: Post an Instagram photo of something that, to you, showcases BC (e.g. photo of BC-grown strawberries, peaches, or maybe a photo that you took on a trip within British Columbia). Tag me (@hummingbird604) and White Spot (@White_Spot). I check my Instagram stream every day so I’ll know that you posted it, regardless of whether you cross-post to Twitter or not, so don’t worry about that.

Entry # 5: Comment on my Pin of this post telling me which White Spot Celebrate BC menu item you would like to check out.

I will draw 2 winners from all randomized entries on August 3rd, 2pm.

Hands down the Truffled Mushroom Bigger Burger! YUM!

Rahel BailieJuly 26th, 2012 at 10:19 am

It’s a tie between the Okanagan Salad and the burger/salad/blueberry pie combo. But the salad wins because it’s gluten-free. And who doesn’t like a salad that includes candied pecsns???

candied salmon cavatappi

BrittaAugust 3rd, 2012 at 10:53 am

I’ve always been a big fan of the old fashioned park-and-eat dining (still available at some locations in the lower mainland). Anything with Triple O sauce is fine by me.

BalbirAugust 3rd, 2012 at 12:52 pm
