To celebrate Earth Day, The Shops at Rossmoor, an outdoor lifestyle shopping center located in Seal Beach, California (https://shopsatrossmoor.com), invites the community to take part in an Earth Day Celebration from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 22nd, and a multi-week social media contest taking place April 3rd through April 24th, each designed to remind attendees of this year’s Earth Day theme, “The World is in Our Hands,” and the importance of safeguarding our natural resources for future generations.
During the center’s Earth Day Celebration, held near Staples and Ulta Beauty, there will be crafts, face painting, balloon twisting (using biodegradable latex balloons), reptiles from Prehistoric Pets, and an eco-friendly giveaway. Families will also enjoy discovering the art of growing with a planting activity they can take part in together. This event is free and open to the public; no pre-registration is required.
The Shops at Rossmoor is also hosting a three-week-long social media contest in honor of Earth Day. To participate, guests are invited to snap a selfie in front of the center’s Earth Day display which contains a globe and freestanding letters made of FSC-certified plywood and recycled cardboard that spell “The World is in Our Hands.” While there, guests can also grab a free seed packet or seed paper to plant at home. The Earth Day display will be open to the public April 3rd through April 24th.
To enter the contest, guests can post their selfie to Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #EarthDayatShops, then tag @Theshopsatrossmoor for a chance to win a $100 gift card to the center’s Sprouts Farmers Market. The contest ends on April 24th. Must be 18 or older to enter and win. One lucky winner will be randomly selected and notified via the center’s Facebook and Instagram comment streams on Tuesday, April 25th. The winner must respond within 48 hours or their prize will be forfeited and another winner selected. No purchase necessary. This giveaway is not sponsored or endorsed by Facebook or Instagram.
