Kicking it all off is “Mom’s Nite Out” to be held 6-9 p.m. Thurs., May 8.
Part of the national “National Mom’s Nite Out” - which brings moms together physically and virtually - the mall event is sponsored by Tuscan Sun Spa & Salon. Registration will take place at Sears Court, where moms will receive a program of activities and locations. All registered moms will be eligible to win a “Pamper Me” package from the spa valued at over $200.
Throughout the mall will be a series of WBOY12 Relaxation Stations - located near the entrances to the Elder-Beerman Home Store, Sears, JCPenney and Target. Beauty, health and lifestyle vendors will be on hand with samples, demonstrations and information. Expected to be popular is the Olan Mills booth, featuring free glamour photos with propos including boas, Hawaiian leis and Mardi Gras masks.
“We wanted to add an event that was just for women,” said Meadowbrook Mall Marketing Director Robin Urquhart. “We hope moms bring along friends and have a little fun.”
“Mom’s Nite Out” will give moms a reason to get out of the house and away from all their responsibilities - at least for a couple of hours, she said.
Activities include:
- WBOY12’s Chief Meteorologist Jason Parrish and SNOWBIRD will make an appearance and will also be registering moms to win a SNOWBIRD Backpack with SNOWBIRD goodies inside;
- WBOY12’s Gretchen Ross will be on hand with a life-sized, cardboard Ellen DeGeneres, taking selfies with Moms for a chance to win a Yankee Candle Gift Basket.
- Olan Mills Portrait Studios will provide free 8” x 10” glamour shots for moms.
- Elder-Beerman Beauty Advisors from Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder & Lancome counters will apply makeup highlights for the eyes, cheeks and lips before the Glamour Shots, so come with your “base” face on.
- Harrison County YMCA will sponsor free 15-minute Zumba sessions.
- Garfield’s Restaurant will offer half-price select appetizers.
- Pampered Chef will hold recipe exchange.
- Chick-fil-A will feature its Wheel Spin and offer samples of its new grilled chicken.
- Yankee Candle will hold a 6-8 p.m. in-store “Taste Your Scent” event featuring fragrances Margarita Time and Summer Scoop fragrances. Guests will be treated to chips and salsa, non-alcoholic Margaritas and ice cream bar.
- Avon will distribute samples of its Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick for guests to use in the “Totally Kissable Lips” contest to win an Avon gift basket valued at $100.
- Fancy Fruit-Fresh Fruit Arrangements, Jamberry Nails, Kitchen Collection, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Miche Handbags, Nerium, Origami Owl, Pure Romance, Victoria’s Secret, WBOY12 and more will also be on hand, offering product samples, information and prize signups.
The celebration continues Sat., May 10 with a Mother/Daughter Look-A-Like Contest. Moms and daughters may begin registering at the WDTV5 Event Center beginning at 1 p.m. and the contest begins at 2 p.m. The winning mom and daughter duo will walk away with a Tuscan Sun Spa & Salon “Tuscan Treat for Two” package valued at $300.
“The tough thing about this event is deciding on a winner,” Urquhart said. “This event usually draws 40 to 50 moms and daughters - and they can look amazingly alike!”
Representatives of Tuscan Sun Spa & Salon will be at the mall throughout Mother’s Day weekend. Thursday through Sunday, the spa will offer chair massages, free Visia Skin Analysis, free Venus Freeze demonstrations and $29.99 professional teeth whitening.
