Honey Bunches of Oats Fond Farewell

Honey Bunches of Oats Fond Farewell

The cocktail party was wonderful. It was so much fun to talk to the other winners and hear how this trip has impacted their lives. In short, for all of us, this was nothing short of a miracle. However, there is another miracle in the works as well. Remember the adorable twins who attend Berkley and have an apartment full of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal? Well, they entered the dance contest they have been holding all week long here at the resort. They have narrowed the finalists down to two people. Those people are..... The twins. The prize? A four day, three night all expense paid trip to the Dreams Resort and Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! What a kick! So, they will be coming back to enjoy this paradise sometime in the near future. No matter who wins the final dance off – the winner will bring the other one! I've been grinning ever since I heard!

I know that Post Cereal ran this promotion to attract new consumers. I hope they are OK with just rewarding a loyal consumer because Honey Bunches of Oats is pretty much the only cereal in the house. I'm sure like everyone else, their jobs at Post becomes just what they do every day to make a living, but I hope they can see the lives they have changed through this promotion. What they have done has been so meaningful for others. Through this one promotion they have changed 200 people's lives forever. What we saw and experienced here will forever alter how we view the world and live our lives. It has given us memories with our friend, or family member who came with us that will bond us in a way we won't ever have with anyone else. A lot of the winners came from circumstances, especially in this economy, that would prevent them from ever having a trip like this in their whole lifetime. For all of us they have reinforced the feelings of hope in our lives and the belief that dreams really can come true.

I know only my kids have probably read this blog, but just in case anyone from Post stumbles upon it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
