Win a Trip to See Warren Buffet at Work

admin — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 23:15:55 +0000

This weekend I was shopping at the West Village. See’s Candies has opened up a holiday store in the old Paul Frank location. For those of who don’t know, Warren Buffet owns part of this old-time candy company. The reason why you MUST get to the temp location fast (besides the free samples) is it’s the ONLY location where you can register to win a trip to Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder’s meeting in his hometown of Omaha, NE. See’s Candies in the West Village is only open till December 31.

P.S. another fact about See’s: this episode in I Love Lucy where Lucy and Ethel get a job in the chocolate factory, was filmed in the original See’s Candies factory. The outfits they have on are the same the ladies wear today!
