When you think Apple, do you think fresh and tasty or bits and bytes? It’s time to get back to basics and celebrate Family Day with your family by taking them to the ball. In celebration of the McIntosh Apple’s 200th anniversary—one of Canada’s native and most popular varieties—the Ontario Apple Growers are hosting an exciting Winter Apple Ball on Monday, February 21st (Family Day) at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto.

SavvyMom is giving away 8 family passes of 4 tickets to the upcoming event. Attractions at the ball include:

• An attempt at a Guinness World Record™ for the most kids (18 years or under) bobbing for apples
• Delicious apple treats
• Fun inflatables for all ages, arts and crafts and face painting
• Trivia competitions (fun prizes to be won)
• Dancing, entertainment and a birthday celebration

And we have our winners:
Pamela Braithwaite, Natalie Hedderson, Melissa Erskine, Kari Lockett, Tracy Travers, Danielle Smith, Mary Tong and C. Smith.

Faye Clack Communications, the PR firm representing Ontario Apple Growers, will be contacting you all directly by email with your e-ticket. Congratulations to all of our winners and thank you to everyone who submitted a comment.
