#BlossomBet
The most asked question in Macon in March is, “When will the Cherry Blossom trees bloom?” This year, you can take a guess by purchasing a raffle ticket for the date that you believe the blossoms in downtown Macon will POP for a chance to win a portion of a 50/50 raffle. The #BlossomBet is just $10 per date here: https://www.eventeny.com/…/maconcherryblossombloomraff…/
Note: The raffle is based on the FIRST bloom date of the Yoshino Cherry Blossom Trees located at Third Street and Poplar Street and displayed on the Bloom Cam by Visit Macon in downtown Macon. Bets close February 28th so get those guesses in! The bloom cam of the aforementioned trees is available annually at www.cherryblossom.com. 
Stay tuned and it will be live very soon!
