ELMO INVADES GENESEE VALLEY CENTER

April 3, 2007, Flint, MI—Yes, the rumors are true, Elmo has taken over the mall! Our furry friend will be in Flint April 17 & 18 for the Sesame Street Live show at the Perani Arena. But first, he will be hiding all around Genesee Valley Center giving five lucky children four tickets to see him in action!

The fun begins with a treasure hunt form available at the customer service desk. Ten Elmo paper dolls are hidden in the mall holding a number. (HINT:  The hunt begins at King Arthur’s Castle and other locations are listed on the form.)  Kids should identify the number Elmo is holding in each location, complete their treasure hunt form and turn it in at customer service. Winners will be pulled from all correct entries. Five children will be off to Perani to see Sesame Street Live, April 17 or 18.

The contest runs April 9 through 13. Entries must be returned by April 13 at 5 p.m. Winner will be notified by phone, that day. Hurry in and find Elmo before he heads back to Sesame Street!
