The CountryMax team is holding its holiday pet photo contest again this year. This popular event is open to all pet owners who visit a CountryMax Store and snap a photo in front of the in-store Christmas Spirit display.
Last year, more than 100 people (and their pets) entered the contest by submitting photos online at http://CountryMax.com. Over 1,000 participants voted, leading to donations totaling $2,000 spread among four upstate New York charities. Those same pet-friendly charities will benefit again this year:
•Pet Pride of New York – A no-kill sanctuary for cats based in Victor (http://Petprideny.org)
•Purpose Farm – Baldwinsville-based organization pairing youths ages six to 18 with rescued farm, exotic, and domestic animals to help those young people gain purpose, confidence and knowledge (http://PurposeFarm.org)
•Friends Forever Animal Rescue – A non-profit organization in Pennellville focused on saving homeless, abandoned, sick, and unwanted pets…and helping them find forever homes (http://FriendsForeverNY.com)
•Heritage Christian Stables – A therapeutic riding program for children and adults that is based in Webster and serves the greater Rochester area (facebook.com/HeritageChristianStables/)
How does the contest work?
Customers take pictures of their pets in any CountryMax store then upload photos at http://CountryMax.com/2022-Christmas-Spirit-contest. Based on how many votes are received by Christmas Eve, December 24, four finalists will move on to Facebook for vote-offs. Up for grabs are multiple CountryMax gift cards, including a $200 grand price. Details and restrictions can be found on the CountryMax website.
For those who’ve never been to a CountryMax Store before, they feature items for large and small pet owners, homeowners, wild bird fans, equestrians, plus an extensive lawn and garden department. Not only do they stock toys and treats for all kinds of pets, but also uniquely “country” toys for kids, including Breyer® Horse toys and ERTL® John Deere® Truck and Tractor toys.
CountryMax Stores are family owned and operated, with 18 locations across upstate New York.
