The Buffalo Bills hosted the winner of the Perry's Ice Cream 'Bills Photo Blitz' contest at One Bills Drive last week and his experience was one he'll never forget.
Arthur Stickney, of North Tonawanda, NY, snapped a photo of the newly-designed Perry's Ice Cream Bills Brownie Blitz packaging at his favorite grocery store, uploaded it to Perry's Facebook page, and was selected as the contest winner.
As a result, Stickney and his family received a Bills and Perry's gift pack, a tour of One Bills Drive, including a behind-the-scenes look at Ralph Wilson Stadium, as well as a once-in-a-lifetime ice cream party with Bills linebackers Arthur Moats and Antonio Coleman.
"This was truly a dream come true," said Stickney. "It was an unbelievable experience and one that I was so happy that I could share with my family."
Stickney had a good time with the Bills players.
"Arthur and Antonio were both great guys, very personable," said Stickney. " It was interesting to hear about their daily routines and how they prep for games as well as their experiences in college and getting ready for the NFL draft."
Perry's Ice Cream and the Buffalo Bills have partnered on similar contests in the past, but the Bills Photo Blitz was one of the most popular contests ever.
"The Bills Photo Blitz contest was a 'win' for Perry's," said Marissa Wilson, Perry's Ice Cream communications manager. "The dedication of Bills fans was demonstrated on the Perry's Facebook page as we received our largest ever increase in 'likes' during the promotion. Best of all, Arthur Moats and Antonio Coleman gave our grand prize winner an experience he'll always treasure."
