Dole Packaged Foods, notorious for its award-winning Tournament of Roses Parade entries, and the record-holder for most Sweepstakes Trophy wins, announced today its Hawaiian design inspiration for its 2017 float “Spirit of Hawaii” and kicked off the road to the Rose Parade with its Spirit of Hawaii Sweepstakes and Spirit of Giving partnerships with FOOD Share.
Dole Packaged Food’s 2017 float, “Spirit of Hawaii,” celebrates its rich history and beginnings in the Hawaiian Islands dating back to 1899 when James Dole first traveled to the islands. The float includes a 10-foot tall sculpture of King Kamehameha, the largest waterfall in Rose Parade history consisting of more than 2,000 gallons of recycled water, an erupting volcano, and colorful animals including parrots, sea turtles and geckos decorated in tropical flowers. The floats lagoon will feature six dancers and at street level an additional 12 dancers will move to Pacific-Island dances.
To kick off the final road to the 2017 Rose Parade, Dole Packaged Foods is launching a sweepstakes, in which one lucky winner and a guest will get to travel to the Big Island of Hawaii. Launching today, and running through midnight on December 31, 2016, fans can enter for a chance to win the grand prize vacation, including hotel and airfare, as well as other weekly prizes. For more information about the sweepstakes, and to enter, visit Facebook.com/DoleSunshine or DoleSunshine.com/paradise.
And in honor of the Dole Rose parade entry, I have a prize pack to give away. The pack includes: 5 coupons, a t-shirt and a commemorative pin! Enter below!

Rules: One entry per person per day. Once a winner is drawn I will contact them and the winner will have 48 hours to reply back before I draw a new winner. Giveaway is open to US residents only who are 18 years of age or older.

ReplyDeleteYes, I love the Rose Parade. I even worked on the floats a few years ago!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I watch the parade and sometimes we don't because the grandkids want to watch a Christmas movie/cartoon OR it is just so busy and loud that no one could appreciate it anyway!
