You Don't Ask, You Don't Get

I firmly believe in this motto.

So does my sister-Amy-who lives in a Detroit suburb. And that is why Amy and 100 of her closest friends and neighbors will be celebrating Labor Day compliments of Edy's Ice Cream.

For the 4th year in a row, Edy's Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute is offering 1500 ice cream block parties as a chance to "share laughs, memories or just an excuse to say hello".

Amy entered Edy's Neighborhood Salute and Amy won enough ice cream, spoons, cups and the like for 100 of her neighbors. Her essay was selected as one of 1500 across the country. Her neighborhood in suburban Detroit will now be added to the already 4500 neighborhoods who have feasted on Edy's ice cream through this opportunity.

She just got the letter saying that she won the other day, so it must be too late to enter this year. Check below for the deadlines for next year if you want ice cream for you and a few of your friends.....be sure to write a compelling essay....some of the ones on the website are real tear jerkers!
