This year, I did better…much better.
I have been sitting on this amazing giveaway for a little while now so I could announce it for TGCBB because it is quintessential Canadian! I could not be more proud of it and to be honest, this is the most amazing experience to have come out of blogging since I began.
I am thrilled to offer an amazing giveaway this year for The Great Canadian Blog Bash; one that I am sure you will all want! And even though it is Montreal based prize, I think some of you would travel here to win it! For those of you who hate suspense, scroll down to see what I am raving about.
For those who want the story (I hope all of you!), read on.
A while ago I was in contact with some amazing Canadian companies for my local networking/charity event. I met some incredible people and fantastic businesses; it was truly great to get to know more local talent. I was really hoping one company would come through as a grand prize to my event. Sadly it didn’t work out in time. However, we kept in touch and as luck would have it, the company invited me to come and see a show for a review. Are you ready to know what amazing company I’m writing about? Here’s a clue:
Yes! The Cirque du Soleil! As a proud Canadian, I couldn’t ask for a better sponsor for The Great Canadian Blog Bash!
Cirque du Soleil, for those of you who do not know, literally translated, means ‘circus of the sun’. A fitting name since the roots of the Cirque du Soleil started outside with 20 street performers. Now, over 100 million spectators have seen Cirque du Soleil performances in more than 300 cities on six continents!
It’s hard to put into words what a Cirque du Soleil performance is like. On the one hand, it is a circus show without animals. On the other hand it is play with original music and unique characters, incredible costumes and incredible makeup. Cirque du Soleil paved the way for modern circus performances to hit the mainstream. The shows are different and exciting and transport you to a new place every time.
In order to do it justice, I have posted the full review here with details of the show and amazing photographs. Be sure to check it out and learn more about Lara Jacobs, one of the amazing performers in Amaluna. She is a mama that has worked in the circus since she was young. Find out how she has made her family life and her career work together. She is a real inspiration! You’ll have to read the review to find out how I met Lara, and you might be very surprised!
To enter the giveaway, fill out the rafflecopter forms below, it’s that easy! Good luck to all and happy blog hoping this week during TGCBB. I hope to ‘meet’ a lot of you this week!
