December 8-12
It’s a car pass to the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s “Galaxy of Lights” Driving night for Abby & Bill’s trivia winners this week!
Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh croissants in the morning — or really any time of the day. But do you love it so much that
you would wear it as a perfume? The grocery store chain, Lidl
(lee-dle) has teamed with a renowned Perfume specialist for a
limited-edition release of “Eau de Croissant”. The company says
the perfume “captures the warm, buttery aroma of a croissant straight from the oven”……and of course it comes in a croissant- shaped bottle that has a brown tint just like the golden tones of a
freshly baked croissant. There is one catch…you have to register to win one… on Lidl’s (lee-dle) Instagram account… by December 18.
400 people recently dressed as Santa to participate in a 5k Run and a toy drive in Colorado Springs recently. The event raised money for children battling cancer.
Folks attending the Christmas parade in Gatlinburg got a very big surprise! A Black Bear unexpectedly joined in….and just strolled along the parade route. Of course there were lots of pictures and cheers. The bear was unfazed by the crowd and eventually disappeared.
The Bass Pro Shop’s Wonders of Wildlife Museum announced a new arrival over the weekend….but it wasn’t one of the animal kinds…it was of the human kind. A mother went into Labor near one of their fish tanks…and the birth took 5 minutes. So no time to call an ambulance. Both mom and baby are doing great!
242 Wings in 10 minutes…that’s how many competitive eater Joey
Chestnut devoured at recent Wing Eating Championship. Mostly known for eating hot dogs, Joey has now added wing eating to his repertoire and won $1,500.
