It’s a Malibu Winter in Minneapolis

Minneapolis (Jan. 20, 2016) – It’s winter in Minnesota. That means outdoor adventures and cozy outings filled with culture and cuisine. From skiing and snowboarding to seasonal cuisine and special winter events, Minneapolis will never disappoint. The beginning of the year also means it’s time for the 4th annual Minneapolis Sweepstakes! Now through March 12th, Meet Minneapolis will be giving away exclusive Minneapolis getaway experiences, a Malibu Paddle Board from Silvercreek Paddle Company and finally a two-year lease for a brand new 2016 Chevy Malibu Hybrid!

In Minneapolis and the greater Twin Cities, we embrace the chilly season with pink cheeks and beaming snowmen. Whether flying kites at Lake Harriet’s Kite Festival, playing hockey at the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, or conquering the elements off of the ski lift at the City of Lakes Loppet, Minneapolis will keep you busy no matter the weather. Going indoors, the city offers theatres, restaurants and more to fill your downtime. No matter the attraction, commuting with convenience, comfort and style is always important.

Enter the Chevy Malibu Hybrid Sweepstakes for your chance to commute with ease and luxury to your next adventure! To express how much we appreciate the Midwestern spirit, we are giving the public a chance to win a two-year lease for an energy-efficient 2016 Chevy Malibu Hybrid, donated by Select Heartland Chevy Dealers. The popular Chevy Malibu Hybrid is currently on display at the Minneapolis Convention Center on the first floor lobby near the Ballroom.

In addition to the grand prize Chevy Malibu Hybrid, the online sweepstakes features prize packages that will be awarded in the weeks leading up to March 12th.
