Through August 24th: Enter to Win a Chance to Create Your OWN Cold Stone Creamery Flavor

The summer months always show a spike in my inbox of ice cream related emails. It's hard to keep up. Many are coupons or deals from the birthday clubs I have joined, but some are a little more exciting, as this one I got from Cold Stone Creamery. I hadn't yet read about their Gold Cone Collection, their celebration of 2010 (well, there's always a reason to celebrate, isn't there? Whether it's the month of July and National Ice Cream Month or just because it is 2010 -- hurrah!) This summer, though, Cold Stone is combining their Gold Cone Collection with a special contest: "Try [their] new Summer Fresh Fruit Flavors and enter [their] Gold Cone Facebook Contest for a chance to create your own flavor to be featured in stores in 2011."

What you have to do:

1. Go to Cold Stone and try one of their new Gold Cone Collection cones: Key to My Heart (Key Lime), Peaches 'n' Creamery (Harvest Peach), or Blueberry Bliss (Blueberry).
2. Go to Cold Stone's Facebook Page and write "passionately" and "uniquely" about the flavor you tried.

What do you win?

1. The first prize winner for each flavor gets to go to head to Scottsdale, AZ to Cold Stone's Headquarters to create their own unique flavor. From there, one of the new creations is chose by the Cold Stone "Tastemaster" to be sold in stores in 2011.
2. The three second prize winners win an ice cream party at their nearest Cold Stone -- start choosing your 50 closest family and friends. Don't forget who told you about this contest!

Good luck!
