Contest deadline is Friday, May 29, and all winners will be notified by email the following week. Need some ideas? Here's an example from the Short Text Blurb category:
'One of my favorite Simple Pleasures is to pack my boys and their friends into the car - along with a football, some skateboards, and our remote control boat - and spend a weekend afternoon at Reed Canal Park in South Daytona. Entry and parking are free, the scenic jogging path gives me a great workout, and the kids get plenty of fresh air and exercise. They especially love the historic marker that details exactly where the Museum of Arts & Sciences' 13-foot-tall ground sloth was unearthed. (How great is that!) There are also plenty of benches, a picnic pavilion and a playground. Really, the only downside is trying to get them back into the car!'
