Let's hear it for Mike Gross, this week's Blaze YouTube
Video contest winner. Mike has won his very own iPod touch courtesy of WHUD radio. Congrats Mike!

To all you Pumpkin-heads attending this weekend: don't forget to bring along your video cameras for a chance to win your very own iPod touch too! (You won't win an iPod if you bring a tripod or mono-pod, so please please please leave them at home.)

Check out Mike's winning entry below.

David Williams visited Blaze, created this lovely work, posted it on YouTube, and is now the proud winner of an iPod touch, courtesy of WHUD radio. We are giving away FIVE iPods in total -- four for Blaze videos and one for Legend. You too can enter. Click here for details and check out David's video below for inspiration.

 

Besides being a rather "enlightening" way to spend an October evening, the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze also provides bargain hunters and shopaholics alike with plenty of opportunity.

In celebration of Blaze's five year anniversary, the gift shop, your last stop on tour de Blaze, is jam packed with recession busters and cool stuff.  What's special about the gift shop is the large number of items that are unique to Blaze and available nowhere else, not even online! (How rare is that these days?) 

Visitors will find everything from an "I Visited Blaze" game to postcards, notecards, t-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, mugs, photos, and magnets - all Blaze original designs. You can even take home actual Jack o' Lanterns carved by the Blaze artists themselves. This year's designs include a bat, witch, cat, and spider.   

Need to pamper palates at your Halloween party? Dying for a pumpkin fix? The gift shop carries pumpkin fudge, pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, pumpkin butter, pumpkin scone mix, pumpkin pancake mix, and more than a dozen flavors of Halloween coffees. And of course, there will be a bouquet of Halloween candies.

Blaze fans: If you're not on Facebook, you are missing out on a lot of fun. We've got about 1,700 fans (and growing) over there. Posting and commenting and uploading and etc. Check it out if you haven't already.
