Who doesn’t love the cozy feel of cotton!  It’s hypoallergenic, keeps us cool, and it’s resistant to those nasty dust-mites we all hear about.

Rosedale Center is the only mall in the Twin Cities, and  one of 15 malls nationwide to launch “The Fabric of Our Lives®” advertising campaign this fall.

Do you enjoy singing or should I say, can you sing?  Enter the display closet at Rosedale Center where you can enter “The Fabric of My Life®” Song Contest.  Once you enter the closet, you can listen to the each artist’s rendition of  “The Fabric of My Life®” song.  The closet will also feature the latest cotton trends from Macy’s and don’t forget to leave without grabbing a $10 Macy’s WOW Pass.   Five videos will be selected as finalists;  the finalist who receives the most votes will win a four night trip for two to New York City, a $1,000 cotton shopping spree at Macy’s and a recording studio experience.

Two young performers, Leona Lewis and Colbie Caillat are headlining the campaign by showing fashionable women around the Twin Cities their unique style – in cotton fashion, of course!  Cotton Incorporated partnered with Macy’s to feature beautiful cotton clothing inspired by these two artists.

In addition to stopping by Rosedale Center, you can also visit TheFabricOfOurLives.com.  All you need is a webcam and an internet connection to enter.  Entrants can also share their videos on Facebook  and invite others to join in the fun!

WE ARE STILL ON THE HUNT…

Wanted:  A beautiful evergreen tree, about 80 feet tall, to serve as the sparkling center of St. Paul’s downtown holiday festivities this winter.

Capital City Partnership and the City of Saint Paul are searching for an evergreen that fits this description to become this year’s featured holiday tree in Rice Park powered by Xcel Energy.

For the fourth year, Capital City Partnership and the City of Saint Paul have joined forces to recreate the Rockefeller Center experience in the heart of downtown Saint Paul.  The Rice Park tree will be as tall  and bright as the iconic Rockefeller Center tree, with over 30,000 energy-efficient LED lights, making it the tallest tree on display in the Midwest.

For trees to be considered, they must have overgrown their location or otherwise need to be removed.  Citizens interested in donating their tree for this event should email their address and a photo of the tree to info@capcitypartnership.com or call 651-291-5608.  The owner of the chosen tree will be eligible to have the tree removed and the stump ground down at no charge, and may also be eligible for a tax deduction.

The Rice Park powered by Xcel Energy tree will be chosen by Oct. 15, and will be cut, transported, and installed in Rice Park by Nov. 19.

The Annual Tree Lighting Event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 27, at 5 p.m. and will include special holiday entertainment and fireworks to kick-off the holiday season.  Rice Park powered by Xcel Energy will be on display from Nov. 27 to Jan.  Combined with adjacent Wells Fargo WinterSkate, the tree completes a vision of Rockefeller Center in downtown Saint Paul!
