Thank you to everyone who took part in the social media contest and scavenger hunt, we enjoyed seeing all your lovely selfies and hope you had a good time finding our friend the Golden Boy. We also appreciate everyone who took the time to vote in the 13th Annual People’s Choice Awards. Both contests and voting is open until Friday, June 2nd at 11:59pm, so there is still time to take part!
