Are you starting to think about building your vessel for this year’s Green Lake Milk Carton Derby (July 10, 2010)?

Free milk cartons will be available at the Roosevelt Square Whole Foods (1026 NE 64th St) on Thursday, May 27th, 2-6 p.m.:

Whole Foods Market, Organic Valley and Pirate’s Booty Milk Carton & Grocery giveaway

Come to Whole Foods Market in Roosevelt Square on May 27th from 2:00-6:00pm to pick up free Organic Valley milk cartons to build your raft, canoe or pirate ship for the Pirate’s Booty Milk Carton Derby at Seafair and held on July 10th at Green Lake in Seattle.

Everybody knows Organic Valley milk cartons make the best boats! Cartons are available to pre-registered teams or register on-site.

In addition to the milk carton melee happening outside, inside Organic Valley farmers will surprise two lucky shoppers by paying for their entire cart of groceries! A week’s worth of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and more! The only prerequisite: The shopper must already have an Organic Valley product in their cart. Timing of the two “shopping cart surprises” is a secret, but get “caught” at Whole Foods Market on the 27th with Organic Valley products in your cart and you could win! It’s a gift from the 27 Washington farmer-owners of Organic Valley to Whole Foods shoppers as thanks for their devotion to organic foods and for keeping organic farmers on the land.

Pirate’s Booty and Organic Valley will be sampling their delicious snacks in the store from 2:00-6:00pm. Join us for a day of fun and start designing those Spanish galleons!
