Arkansas-based Tyson touts trips to … Austin
[ad_1]
Put this in the ironic file.
What’s up: The Tyson brand, one of many under Tyson Foods, is running a campaign to make chicken the official bird of Friendsgiving. To encourage entry, a lucky winner will be won with nine of their closest friends in a competition in Austin, Texas.
Double recording: Austin?
Yes but: As we reported recently, the Northwest Arkansas Council, of which Tyson is a founding member, is actively recruiting Austin residents to relocate.
Yes and: OZ Brands recently ran a promotion that gave 10 Austinites a one-way ticket to – you guessed it – northwest Arkansas.
- We were told that the winners were selected from around 100 applicants. Announcements are coming soon.
The other side: A Tyson brand spokesperson told us that there are some cities known for great food, music, and get-togethers that were considered. Austin, known for all of these things, happened to be the one who made the cut.
