CONTEST: We've got spirit, how about you?

Everyone loves to show their school spirit. No matter where you are in school, (middle school, college, or even graduated) everyone loves to show off their team. 

With that said, we're doing a School Spirit photo contest for BYU and UVU. We know that you already have lots of pictures of yourself or family members all done up in cougar or wolverine apparel. So why not go ahead and submit it to Facebook or Instagram? The winner gets a $25 gift card to the bookstore (one winner will be selected from each school). That would pay for a new t-shirt or a third of a book you need for a class ;)

We're making this pretty simple to win. Here's all you have to do:

1. Submit a photo of you showing off your school spirit to Facebook or Instagram
2. Tag us in the photo (@VisitUtahValley)
3. A random winner from each school will be selected on Thursday, September 12 

We know you have pictures already on your phone or computer. So go ahead and submit them today...that bookstore gift card could be yours! 

It's Time!

Good afternoon friends! Glad to see that everyone has survived their Thanksgiving and is back in action for the week. We don't know about you, but our households were busy this weekend putting up Christmas and holiday decorations! We love this time of year. The Utah Valley Convention Center has also hoisted up their decor--in fact, their 25 foot tree has been beautifully decorated and finished this afternoon!

Come snap a photo of the tree and put it up on your Facebook, Blog, Twitter, Instragram, or any-gram (really!) and you'll receive 20% off a BYU hoody or any item of your choice at the Visitors Center gift shop. Keep in mind, we do have flirty aprons too! 

Don't you love our teaser pictures?!

Food at the barbeque will be served from 12:00 pm- 1:00 pm so make sure you get yourself to Brigham's Square in time for the festivities! And yes, you heard us right, this is a free barbeque! Good thing these afternoons are warming up a bit!
