Well that was a first…two guys showed up at EXACTLY the same time!!  One actually made a Cardinals shirt by writing “CARDINALS” on his T-Shirt with a Red Sharpie.  That certainly earns tickets for creativity.  They both knew that we sent $923.44 to Belleville schools in the month of May.  We settled the tie by doing our best King Solomon impersonation – they split the tickets right down the middle.  Stay tuned for more ticket giveaways from Farmer’s Market!

So we’ve got over $200 worth of Cardinals tickets (4 seats in the 1st row of the Redbird Club) just waiting for someone to come win tonight.  It’s a really gorgeous night and we’d really like to go to the game but the Boss says to give them away.  We’re not happy about missing the game so if you want the tickets, you’re going to have to earn them

The first person (of any age – it doesn’t have to be a kid tonight) who shows up at our North Belt location and follows these directions will get the tickets:

1) Enter the building shouting “I LOVE FARMER’S MARKET!”

2) You must be wearing some sort of Cardinals gear (shirt, jersey, hat, etc)

3) After you’ve proclaimed your affection for Farmer’s Market you must sing “Take me out to the Ballgame!”  You can’t whisper or mumble your way through it.  It has to be sung with “feeling.”  We’re not nearly as judgmental as Simon Cowell so don’t worry about how you sound.

4) You must give us your permission to record your performance and publish it to our website, our Veg-Email, YouTube, or anywhere else we see fit to thoroughly embarrass you.

Remember, it’s the first person to complete these steps at our North Belt location.  If you’re not the first person – we’ll certainly tell you before you start singing so you don’t humiliate yourself for nothing.  NOT!
