be a smarty pants: win a teeny, tiny car

August 8th, 2008 at 01:44am Jennie Pollock

to take a page from applesauce: this just in!

the 2008 clean air green tour will stop in rockford from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. aug. 21 at lowe’s.

the press release says the tour’s centerpiece is a state-of-the-art 40-foot biodiesel motor coach equipped with solar power charging.

ok, cool enough, but you can enter to win a 2009 smartfortwo, the itsy bitsy car that gets 41 mpg on the highway.

also of note, there will be a green model kitchen full of bosch appliances (with a 10 percent discount available) and free samples of salada green tea (one of my faves — logli, why did you stop selling it!?). gee, wonder who is sponsoring this tour? those two, plus indy racing league (danica!) and americans for balanced energy choices (maybe the biggest surprise of all: the coal people).

    Jennie,
    can you double check?
    Their schedule says they’ll be here on the 21st.

    hokumboy,
    thanks for watching out for me. you’re right. i fixed it in the blog entry.
    i have something to attend on the 23rd, so i must have had that on the brain. i guess double-checking at 11:30 at night is not powerful enough (i often write at night for posting in the morning, when more people might see).

    i liked the green stuff and the alt-paper feel overall. good stuff for that neck of the woods. at least at a glance. thanks!

    Glad you liked it. I find V1 a great little paper.
    Sorry I didn’t catch you comment in the Green Budweiser posting. I’m an exclusive Carlyle man so I didn’t see a reason to check out what ABC’s doing. Maybe, now that the Belgians are buying them they may put out some decent beers.
