New products and a new partnership!

In the 1940s, Martha White began sponsoring Nashville’s famous Grand Ole Opry, the country’s longest-running live radio broadcast. It should therefore come as no surprise that the J.M. Smucker Company is launching an exciting partnership between Martha White and the Country Music Association. As a longtime fan of Martha White products, I'm excited to help promote this partnership!

Martha White is giving away four grand prizes of a trip for two to the 49th Annual CMA Awards in Nasvhille. Each grand prize consists of the following:

*Two (2) tickets from a major airport near winner’s home (determined by the sponsor in its sole discretion) to Nashville, TN;
*Two (2) nights’ accommodations at a hotel determined by the sponsor in its sole discretion (single room, double occupancy);
*Ground transportation to and from destination airport and hotel and to and from hotel and music experience;
*Two (2) tickets to the CMA awards, plus a music experience for two (2) that includes a tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame/Museum and a special recording experience;
