To mark the 100th anniversary of Mother’s Day this year, the Food & Shops at LaGuardia (LGA) is sponsoring an online essay contest: “Travels With Mom.”
Through May 5, travelers can enter a 150-word essay about their favorite travel memory with their mother. Entries may be submitted at www.ShopLaGuardia.com. Essays do not necessarily have to be about mom, but could be about a grandmother, aunt, sister or anyone who has played a “mom-like” role in the writer’s life.
Each week, one winner will receive an art deco crystal watch from The Metropolitan Museum of Art store. Winning essays will be posted each week on the Web site.
“The ‘Travels with Mom’ contest is our way of celebrating Mother’s Day and thanking the many travelers who choose LaGuardia Airport as their choice for travel,” says Lillian Tan, vice president and general manager of MarketPlace Development, the retail development company that develops and manages the Food & Shops program in the terminal. “When visiting ShopLaGuardia.com to enter, we hope travelers will further explore this valuable travel planning resource, which offers airport travel news, maps and information on the terminal’s many eateries and retail shops.”
