A Selfie With Bernie Could Lead to Shopping Spree

Taking a selfie with Bernie may pay off this summer, as Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture will award a $1,500 shopping spree to one random winner in its summer-long promotion with FOX25. 

A special “Bernie” cut-out will be at each stop of FOX25’s Zip Trip appearances throughout New England this summer.  

Individuals can enter to win the $1,500 furniture shopping spree, courtesy of Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture, by posting their selfie with Bernie using the hashtags #bernieandphyls and #ziptrips on Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture Facebook page (facebook.com/bernieandphyls). Contestants are also entered when they ‘like’ the Bernie and Phyl’s page, as well that of FOX25 (facebook.com/fox25news).

Zip Trips are scheduled for every Friday this summer, with FOX25 broadcasting live from cities and towns across New England to celebrate the unique qualities of each community. In addition, at each stop, the station will choose a “Fan of the Week” from its live audience who exemplifies the “true Zip Trip Spirit.” Each weekly winner will receive a $500 Bernie & Phyl’s gift card. 

“We can’t wait to see all the pictures of our customers and friends posing with the Bernie cutout,” said Larry Rubin, president of Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture.  “And we look forward to helping all of the winners pick out some great new furniture from any of our eight stores.”
