Winner

We have a winner for the contest! Ms. Jane Doe please stop into Main Street Bakery anytime and pick up your prize. Thank you everyone for participating in my contest. I have more than enough ideas for my daily cultural items! Here is Janes winning picture and experience.
I recently went to the Virgin Islands, St. Thomas for my five year anniversary. It was a wonderful experience and it makes me wonder why i live in Wisconsin! I went there with my husband for a week and we stayed at the Sugar Bay Resort.
The people of the Virgin Islands are British Accented. I asked one lady were she came from, and she laughed and said the Virgin Islands. She later told me that her grandparents came from England.
Food at the resort was most defiantly on the tropics side. They had all sorts of fresh fruits and every meal had the option of fresh seafood. Walking around in Charlotte Amalie, which is the main city of St. Thomas, they had all sorts of tropical treats. Without a doubt, families living in the Virgin Islands have traditional recipes that have came from England. How unique is that?

Thank you Ms. Jane Doe for sharing your experience with us. Everybody else, remember to stop in and taste the flavors of Main Street Bakery. Be well!

Contest Reminder

This is a friendly reminder that my blog contest is underway! Don't forget to share your story, and hopefully you will win the 50 dollars and see a daily cultural item in my store from your story.
Here is another story of mine that i would like to share with you travelers.
 New York City, a city filled with culture and different ethnics. I traveled there for New Years 2015, and let me say, there is a lot of history in that city. All of the buildings have a story, and all of the different foods have a culture they came from. I went to china town and had some amazing food that I didn't know the name for. I looked at the menu and ordered the coolest looking word. Walking around I saw a sweets shop. The sweets shop was filled with all sorts of desserts from creams to chocolates to hard candies. This would be a great place for me to find a daily cultural item. I would find something that came to New York from immigrants and there culture. Possibly pizza! Or Cheese Cake! I'm betting those came from overseas at some point.
Don't forget to tell me you story! The winner will receive 50 dollars cash and there story will become my daily cultural item! Thanks and live well. This contest is for academic purposes only and all content is fabricated. This is not a real contest and there is nothing to win.

Main Street Bakery Contest

Hello dear followers and thank you once again for visiting the Main Street Bakery Blog! I have been hearing from customers that my blog is very interesting and every once in a while stories are exchanged about traveling and the culturally diverse foods. This is great news for my bakery considering my daily cultural item!
Seeing as everyone enjoys my cultural traveling on my blog, I want to hear about your experiences so I can create them in my store. I am announcing a contest on my blog and I want to hear about your unique cultural experiences. The winner will receive 50 dollars. In your post please include a picture of the place you have been, and a story about your experience! I will be judging based on how unique your picture and story is. Diversity is welcome. Here is an example story to set the stage.
This is a picture taken when I was in Prague in 2012. The opportunity presented itself to travel there and I wasn't about to say no. During the trip, i could see history all around me. The buildings were hundreds of years old, the streets were of old cobblestone, and the food was most defiantly new to me. When i was there i walked around a lot. By walking around, I came across this artifact. This is a memorial for victims of the Holocaust. It starts in the front which displays a whole man prior to the Holocaust. Each step backwards is the symbolic damage done to victims. In the end, the man is no longer a man. I could feel the history by being in the area and felt like a part of history in that time.

Fell free to tell me your stories and experiences, I hope to gather ideas for a daily cultural item! Don't forget, winner will receive 50 dollars cash. Thanks and live well!
