The Celtics Win, and If You Participated, So Do You!

The day has come and gone. The Boston Celtics entered game 6 obviously wanting a win and wanting it in a BIG way! They walked away with a championship, and an impressive 39 point win over the Lakers in the final game of the series. Even though the day has come and gone, the celebrations are just getting started!

It's a time of reflection. Remembering back to the day in December when you got the newspaper ad that looked like this, and you looked at it with a questionable grin. "Your TV & Audio purchases will be FREE if the Boston Celtics win the world championship this season" was the tag line that you read. It had a swirly basketball on it too. You probably thought to yourself, "Yeah right...the Celtics will never pull it off". Now you're thinking "Should'a done it!". It's always one of those things that you know the offer may sound silly, but in retrospect you REALLY wish you would have participated.

But, for those of you faithful fans I congratulate you on a championship well deserved. And for those proud fans who watched the game on their new big screen HDTV purchased at Percy's during the Celtics promotion, I congratulate you even more because now that tv is FREE! Percy's has set up a web page for the Celtics Promotion that you can find up-to-date information regarding the promotion. "When is the payout?", you ask? Well, the Telegram & Gazette did a news article on this promotion in today's paper and here is a direct quote from it:


"Percy’s sales manger Alan S. Lavine said the store bought an insurance policy to cover the potential refunds, which he estimated would come to hundreds of thousands of dollars. He expects to have a check from the insurance company within a few weeks.

“Once we have it, we’ll mail out invitations to come in. We’ll have a little party and give them their refund checks,” Mr. Lavine said."


All in all, Percy's will be contacting you directly regarding the results of this promotion. and when you can come pick up your refund. And if you didn't get a chance to participate in this promo, you never know, we may just do it again. But for now, we at Percy's would sincerely like to congratulate all those customers again for participating, and we hope you enjoy your free tv or home theater!

Take care,

-Brian

The Last Time You Got Something For Free

It's not everyday that someone comes up to you and hands you something for free that ACTUALLY has some value and/or meaning to it. So, I'm going to dedicate this week to FREE stuff. Yesterday I spent a little time talking about free 10% rewards when using your stimulus check here (not literally but...). I've got alot to talk about this week and it's all going to be good for you! I won't have a Celtics Tracker in this blog, but they are playing Game 6 tonight so I'll update you tomorrow.

Since June 1st, Percy's has been promoting LG Electronics. But not just any promotion. You guessed it, a promotion with free LG products! Make any LG purchase from June 1st through June 27th and automatically get 5 entries for 1 of 2 LG bundles. If you don't have the money to spend for a new tv, you can sign up and get 1 entry into the contest, absolutely FREE! The bundles aren't bad either. Each bundle includes a 42" Flat Panel TV, and 1 has a HD DVD/Blu Ray Player while the other has a home theater system



So, if you buy an LG TV, you can get 5 entries, and you could get 2 TV's for the price of 1! Put one in your living room and 1 in your bedroom. Maybe 1 in your den. Or simply sign up to receive 1 entry absolutely free.

If you've entered, you need to be at Percy's in Worcester on Saturday June 28th (time to be announced later) for the drawing of the winners. If you don't win, Percy's will have $25 Gift Cards just for entering. Good luck to all those who enter!

Take Care,

The Power of 10

"Rate your current phone service provider from 1 to 10." "Lose weight in these 10 easy steps." "On the Tonight Show's Top 10..."

We all know the number 10, it's after 9 and before 11. Most of the world's population has 10 fingers and 10 toes. Most albums on sale have 10 tracks, there are 10 pins in bowling, and 10 yards per completion in football. In kindergarten, everyone at least learns how to count to 10, but kindergartners probably don't know that a polygon with 4 sides is a decagon, and in Roman Numerals 10 is "X". Yeah, 10 is pretty popular.

But what does 10 have to do with Percy's? Well, I could tell you that there's 10 main catagories on our home page (Grills, Air Conditioners, Laundry, TV & Video, Audio, Small Electronics, Cooking, Kitchen, Small Appliances, & Around the Home), but that's not what's important.

No, I'm talking about 10% rewards. More than 130 MILLION Americans received an economic stimulus check from the IRS between May and July. Minimum payments going out were $300 checks with a maximum check of $600 per individual. We've made this the perfect time to buy your new Refrigerator, Range, or TV.

If you come down to Percy's between now and the end of June and make any purchase throughout the store, Percy's will give you a 10% Rewards Card to be used on any future purchase. So, if you come down to Percy's in Worcester, and you spend $1800 on a new tv, Percy's will give you a Reward Card valued at $180 for a future purchase. You can see a little more on this promo here. Any more questions you can contact us for more information.

Come to Percy's in June and feel the Power of 10.

Take Care,

Brian

CELTICS: the Road to FREE TVs

Game by Game ticker info for those who participated in Percy's Celtics Promo

Celtics - 3 Lakers - 2

Game 5 synopsis: The Celtics had a chance in Game 5 to seal the deal with a win on the road, but fell short by only 5 points. Paul Pierce scored 38 points and many of the Celtic's starters were in foul trouble including Ray Allen who had to leave the game. Game 6 comes back to the Garden tomorrow night on ABC and hopefully the Boston Celtics take it all at home!

Here is another recipe from Weber.com:

Skillet Blueberry Cobbler

from Weber’s Real Grilling™ by Jamie Purviance

Prep time: 20 minutes plus 10 minutes to cool
Marinating

Grilling time: 45 to 50 minutes

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 cups fresh or thawed frozen blueberries, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped (optional)

1. In a nonstick, ovenproof 10-inch skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add 2 cups of the blueberries with 1/4 cup of the sugar, stirring frequently until the mixture has the consistency of jam, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the remaining 2 cups of blueberries, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and nutmeg to the cooked berries and stir to combine. Make sure all of the whole berries are evenly coated.

2. In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Combine the melted butter, milk, and vanilla and add to the dry ingredients. Continue to mix until well combined, scraping down the sides once. There may still be some lumps. Drop the batter over the fruit in large spoonfuls starting in the middle and working out to the sides, leaving a 1-inch border of exposed fruit around the outside edge. It will seem like there is a shortage of batter, but it will expand while baking.

3. Cook over indirect medium heat (about 350°F), with the lid closed, for 20 minutes. For even cooking, carefully rotate the pan 90 degrees, being careful because the fruit mixture will be bubbling up. Continue to bake until a skewer inserted into the center of the crust comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes more. Keep the lid closed as often as possible during grilling. Place the skillet on a wire rack and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve while still warm or at room temperature and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Makes 6 to 8 servings
