Boy, oh boy, did we have so much fun the weekends of September 18th and October 9th! Why, you ask? Because we got to see couples get competitive, take to the streets of Bloomington and Peoria, and Race for the Rock...a $12,000 Tacori rock from Bremer Jewelry!!!

 BEB was so thrilled to sign on with Bremer Jewelry and Scvngr, a wonderful company who provides all sorts of mobile/app based games. This was about as high tech and as exciting as it gets!

 At both races – the participants got text message clues with various places they had to go find and text back an answer to the question, then they got points and got the next clue. There were up to 65 different locations – so these participants were running (and biking and rollerblading) around like CRAZY for those two hours! The top finishers DEFINITELY earned their prizes – this was no joke!

When they got to the BEB challenge location – they had to flip through the magazine and find a picture of “rings with fruit on top.” It was a SUPER small picture on page 50 of our Summer/Fall 2010 edition – of course we didn’t tell them what page it was on!

You should have seen them scrambling to find the adorable cherry picture from Shelby Studios! We just giggled as they kept flipping, getting more and more frustrated as the day went on!

 A huge thanks to Bremer Jewelry for sponsoring such an amazing promotion. Other sponsors included Nelson’s Catering, So Chic Events, Jessica Peterson Photography, Greg Linder Photography and so many other fabulous vendors! We’re already counting the days until next year!
