Win a pair of Golden Tickets to fly in the Hendrick’s Gin A.W.E.V.A.N.A.I.R in Vancouver!

That's a lot of gin for Moo!

I don’t normally promote contests unless I’m the one giving something away, but I thought I would let you know about this one, as I was lucky enough to experience the Hendrick’s Gin Air Departure Lounge in Montreal during the Montreal Jazz Festival. It was a most peculiar and delightful of experiences, and although the weather did not permit us to experience the Hendrick’s Gin E.L.E.V.A.T.U.M. (Elevating, Levitating, Exceptionally, Voluminous, Amazingly, Towering, Uplifting, Mobile) hot air balloon in all her majestic glory, a mootastic time was still had by all! More details on my adventures in Montreal in next post.

Moo Golden Tickets!

Although Moo didn’t get to fly, those of you lucky enough to live in or near Vancouver, BC will have a chance to see this floating wonder with your very eyes by visiting the Hendrick’s Gin Air Departure Lounge and maybe even enter to win a pair of Golden Tickets!

Hendrick’s Gin is bringing their 65-foot A.W.E.V.A.N.A.I.R (Amazing, Whimsical, Enchanting, Voyaging, Astounding, Nocturnal, Ascending, Interstellar, Roamer) hot air balloon to Vancouver this weekend, August 2 and 3, 2019! It will be in town to celebrate the closing weekend of the Honda Celebration of Light.

Only guests lucky enough to win a pair of Golden Tickets will get to ride 44 1/4 cucumbers high into the Vancouver sky! Golden Ticket holders also have the chance to have their past, present and future read by the renowned Intuitive Specialist Terri-Lynn Decker, whom many told Moo that she changed the entire course of their lives for the better.

C.O.R.G.A.N

However, fear not! Even if you don’t get a chance to soar high above the Vancouver skies, everyone is welcome to visit the Hendrick’s Gin Air Departure Lounge which will feature live music, entertainment, jazz and gin sampling. Not to be missed is the one-of-a-kind C.O.R.G.A.N (Cucumber Organ of Remarkably Glorious Auditory Nirvana). In other words, an organ where all the keys are made entirely of whole cucumbers! I honestly have no idea how anyone can manage to play it, it requires an unusually skilled musician to maneuver keys made of large, fresh cucumbers! What we found was the most mesmerizing act of the evening we were in Montreal, was musician Theadora Feu Follet, who plays the Hendrick’s Gin Theremin, an instrument that is played without physical contact.

(Note: There was no financial compensation from Hendrick's Gin for this blog post. Although I was one of the winners of the Hendrick's Gin National E.L.E.V.A.T.U.M contest, the contest was open to the general public from across Canada. There were no expectations that any promotion, social media or blog posts be provided for Hendrick's Gin in return for winning the contest. This is simply a cool experience that I want to share with the readers of Mr. Moo's Adventures by a brand that I personally enjoy.)
