One of the best parts about my job, (yes there are several best parts) is giving away cool prizes. I love surprising our fans with a call to announce that he or she is the lucky winner of “X”. Sometimes it’s tickets to an event like Lollapalooza, ACL or this weekend’s Fun Fun Fun Fest. Sometimes it’s tickets to a Texas Stars Hockey game. And sometimes, yes sometimes, it’s a shiny new Gibson guitar.

If you were out at ACL last month, you might have noticed that Granny was running a text to win Gibson guitar campaign. We had several entries over the course of the weekend and we were able to award 3 lucky winners one of 3 super sweet guitars. We had 2 Gibson Les Paul guitars and one psychedelic SG Zoot Suit. (Winning that rainbow guitar would make me start lessons—I love it!)

The day after ACL, I sent out texts to the winners and called to solidify the deal. All three winners just happened to be guitar players and were super excited to win such beautiful guitars. (Who wouldn’t, right?) I was happy to play Santie, but sad to see the guitars go. Especially because I never got to take them out of the box and give them each a strum or two. I leave the “christening” to the winner.

I do ask only one thing of these lucky guitar owners and that is to send me a picture back of them with their winnings. Lately, the pictures coming from the winners circle have been quite impressive—creative even. And it looks like the competition is getting steeper thanks to ACL guitar winner Dave Z. Check him out! His photo looks like a CD cover!

So, if you happen to win one of our sweet guitars from one of the many festivals Sweet Leaf Tea sponsors, know that the picture competition is on. We like to see our fans rockin’ out!

Oh, and if you’re coming out to Fun Fun Fun Fest this weekend be sure to look for the Granny head. She’ll be announcing a contest that’s triple the fun.
