FREE EVENT: Santa Visits North Texas & Lands Sleigh at Mrs Baird’s Fort Worth Bakery!

Posted on December 10, 2010 | 1 comment

Fort Worth, TX ~ News Release – Santa Claus announced today that he will land his sleigh at Mrs Baird’s in Fort Worth again this year to hear the holiday wishes of thousands of North Texas children. Parents are especially thrilled that the event, including professional color photos with Santa, sweet treats provided by Mrs Baird’s, and fun crafts for the kids, is 100 percent free of charge.

Santa will park his sleigh at the Mrs Baird’s Bakery at 7301 South Freeway in Fort Worth at the following times:

Friday – December 10, 2010 – 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Saturday – December 11, 2010 – 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Sunday – December 12, 2010 – 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Friday – December 17, 2010 – 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Saturday – December 18, 2010 – 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Sunday – December 19, 2010 – 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Guests can visit with Santa in a beautiful winter wonderland, have their picture taken with Old St. Nick and sample Santa’s favorite Mrs Baird’s sweet treats.

Santa has been visiting Mrs. Baird’s Bakery for over 70 years!Santa’s Mrs Baird’s bakery visits began in 1939 and were reinstated four years ago after an almost decade-long absence. Franklin Roosevelt was president, milk cost 14 cents a quart and bread cost 9 cents a loaf when Santa first visited the Mrs Baird’s bakery in Fort Worth. A visit to the company’s bakery on Summit Avenue became a holiday tradition with fond memories of visits with Santa and the aroma of fresh-baked bread. Santa’s visits attracted so many people that police officers had to be hired to direct traffic.

In the last four years, close to 23,000 excited visitors stopped by the bakery to sit in Mr. Claus’ lap and share their Christmas wishes. Parents were happy to avoid the lines, confusion and cost of visiting Santa at area malls. The events are free and include professional photographs with Santa and sweet treats. Due to demand, Santa’s winter wonderland has more than doubled in size to accommodate guests visiting Old St. Nick.

“I love visiting with all my North Texas friends and families at Mrs Baird’s,” said Santa. “I hope the many families that visited me before will return. The thousands of hugs, and almost-that-many donuts, fill my heart and my belly!”

“Santa is an honored guest at Mrs Baird’s and we’re proud to host him at our bakery,” said Dan Larson of Mrs Baird’s. “We know the great joy he brings to people of all ages and we will provide a colorful, fun setting for his visit again this year.”

Additionally, Santa and Mrs Baird’s are collecting toys for Cook Children’s Medical Center. Guests are invited, but not required, to bring a new toy to donate to the local hospital.

“Mrs Baird’s visits with Santa are a community tradition,” said Larson. “The community has supported Mrs Baird’s for more than 100 years and hosting Santa at the bakery is just one way we say thank you.”

The events are FREE and open to the public.

For more information go to the Mrs. Baird’s website, here.

Posted on November 19, 2010 | 1 comment

Incredible Deal at Groupon today!

Groupon has launched a national savings offer of 50% OFF at Nordstrom
Rack Stores. When you buy today’s $25 Groupon, you will get a $50 gift
certificate valid on an in-store Nordstrom Rack Purchase.

Note that you do need to buy the gift certificate TODAY (the offer expires

Nordstrom Rack, through Dec. 31, 2010.

How to get the Offer:

Go here to sign up for today’s Nordstrom Rack Groupon deal.
Select Houston as Your Groupon City.
While this is valid at all U.S. Nordstrom Rack locations, you’ll need to
select Houston’s Groupon Site to find and purchase the offer

the Groupon can be used at all DFW and U.S. stores).

The fine print: Limit 1 per person. Good for $50 value of merchandise. EXPIRES ON December 31, 2010. Valid only at Nordstrom Rack locations.

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

A few months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we
did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with
Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.

Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events
across the country. Fort Worth is the 51st city launch for Groupon, and
in the last month, I’ve seen their offers include everything from
50% Off Nothing Bundt Cakes to 60% Off Spa Services to 55% Off
carpet cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between!

Here’s how it works:

1. Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price.

2. You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal
if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along
to your friends)!

3. Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer!

Taking advantage of this deal supports Frugal in Fort Worth.

Enjoy and Share! :)
