Photo of the Week: National Ice Cream Day

Sarah HattmanBlog, Marketing, Photo of the Week, , , , , ,

Did you know that July is National Ice Cream month? Better yet, did you know that this Sunday, July 17, is National Ice Cream Day? It’s true! In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month and established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the month of July.

Now that you know, don’t you wish you could get a Blizzard the size of the one in the picture? While that might not be possible, be sure to stop by a Triangle Dairy Queen location (Clairemont client) to join the celebration by picking up a Blizzard, hot dessert from the new DQBakes! à la mode menu, cone, sundae, Dilly Bar or classic treat.

What’s your favorite Blizzard? Connect with us Facebook and let us know.

Photo of the Week: One Big Check

Who knew that a little do-si-do could yield a lot of dough, dough, dough? In May, Clairemont client Wendell Falls celebrated its one-year anniversary with a barn-raising themed event and celebrity dance competition. Local stars from across the Triangle competed during the Wendell Falls Hoedown Showdown for a chance to win $1,000 for a charity of his or her choice.

Felicia Perry, a local blogger and food photographer, took home the prize, designating her winnings to the Raleigh Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Wendell Falls was honored and excited to support the cause with this donation!

Curious about this Barn Raising mayhem? Check out our client’s news story from the event!

Photo of the Week: Customer Service

In the summer of 2014 I had the pleasure of staying at Le Meridien Tampa as one of the hotel’s first guests. It was a fabulous experience that resulted in several subsequent stays. Hats off to general manager Brent Scarbro and his staff for recognizing returning guests and consistently providing excellent customer service. This week’s photo shows one of the ways they made me feel special when I was back at Le Meridien last week.

Read more about why this is one of my favorite places to stay in my previous post called Surprise and Delight: Le Meridien Tampa.

Photo of the Week: Fried Florals

We all love a fresh bouquet of blooms, cheery decor to brighten a room or to celebrate a special occasion. But what about flowers … as a dinner appetizer?

In early June, we joined Clairemont client Il Palio at the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival where Chef Teddy Diggs dished up surprising regional Italian delicacies. His deep-fried squash blossoms piped with ricotta stole the hearts of the guests — as evidenced by the long lines to his booth! After a long (but fun) day in the sun at the Tasting Tent, we snapped this shot of Chef Teddy Diggs and Anthony Carey, general manager, The Siena Hotel, enjoying the last lone blossom.

Check out some of our other culinary festival adventures here!

Tonight Show Dad Rap

With Father’s Day this weekend, we couldn’t settle for the same ‘ole shirt-and-tie gift. Jimmy Fallon issued a call for dads nationwide to submit a video of themselves rapping the Tonight Show Dad Rap — an original piece written by  The Roots’ Tariq Trotter in honor of Father’s Day.

Alright, so we know we’re not dads, but we couldn’t help playing! Happy Father’s Day to our fathers and all of our friends who carry that wonderful title!

Tonight Show Dad Rap

We love to show off creativity and videography skills with our short, fun videos. After watching our Dad Rap, check out our recent clip celebrating Clairemont’s Baby Mama Sarah Hattman!
