So no one has won any of our gear by finding Jimmy Hoffa in our events photos yet. Sheesh, I knew it would be tough, but didn’t expect it to be impossible. The Feds can’t find him either, so maybe everything about him is elusive, even his photo. So read on and I’ll drop a clue a bit later to help you in your quest for a t-shirt or drinking device. 

This past weekend we went to the Detroit River Days festival along the River Walk in Detroit. We go to this every year because it is not only a cool event, but a great opportunity to walk along the river, feel the breezes, watch the boats, and observe people representing every possible type of human concoction. The event is awesome, but it’s the people who really make it, from the folks who put it on and run it through the wide-eyed kids who splash in the fountains to cool off after the carnival rides. There was a lot of really good artwork this year, photos, paintings, and sculptures, with some of the painting bordering on being sculpture due to their spatial arrangement and a three-dimensional impression that they individually had; a nearly mysterious appearance of depth. We captured a lot of the art, most if not all of it, in our photos from the festival (see the kitty, above) (http://www.detroitmm.com/events/2013/06-detroit-river-days/) along with a lot of other interesting things and people.

In addition to River Days we’ve covered the Berkley Art Bash (http://www.detroitmm.com/events/2013/06-Berkley-Art-Bash/), the Royal Oak Clay, Glass, and Metal Show (http://www.detroitmm.com/events/2013/06-Royal-Oak-Clay-Glass-Metal-Show/), 50 Shades, The Musical! (http://www.detroitmm.com/reviews/2013/50-shades-the-musical/), and Cruisin’ Gratiot (http://www.detroitmm.com/events/2013/06-cruisin-gratiot/), all in the past 2.5 weeks and there’s more to come! This weekend we will be at the Downriver Cruise and the Waterford Log Cabin Days, hopefully we’ll see you there.

Oh, right, the Find Jimmy Hoffa contest; I recently promised a hint, didn’t I? Well, Hoffa was the head of the Teamster’s Union and they deal with transportation, their logo has a wheel in it. That’s at least two hints, now go find him and win some swag! Our previous blog post has the rules, so scroll down to it. 

Detroit’s Metro Mashup contests have no monetary value and prizes awarded cannot be substituted for any other or for any cash value. The cash value of the prize is $0.01 U. S. One winner per contest only, winner to be determined by Detroit Metro Mashup to be the earliest email received meeting all the requisite criteria, including the correct photo, the sender’s email address, the subject “I found Jimmy Hoffa,” and the prize selected. If you are under 18 please have your parent or guardian submit your entry for you. Detroit Metro Mashup is not responsible for any errors or omissions either in the contest or your entry. Detroit Metro Mashup has no association with Jimmy Hoffa’s family, estate, or any businesses.

Would you like to have a Detroit Metro Mashup gear logo t-shirt, coffee mug, or drinking glass, but really don’t want to pay for it? Well, be the first one to spot Jimmy Hoffa’s picture in one of our “recent event” gallery photos (recent events only, for now) and we’ll send you your choice for free. You don’t even have to pay the shipping! Not only that, you’ll be the first to get DMM swag, because the link to the store isn’t up yet.

When you find the photo with the picture of Jimmy Hoffa in it, just take a screen shot of the entire photo or copy the photo and send it, along with your email address (we’re not selling your info or giving it away or anything) and we’ll let you know if you are the winner. Winners will be announced shortly after the photo is found and submitted. Send it using the contact button below (bottom of page) and use the subject header “I found Jimmy Hoffa.” Don’t forget to include your email, attach the photo, let us know what prize you want and, if it’s the t-shirt, what size. The first entry received meeting all these criteria will be the winner.

Here’s a hint, the Hoffa photo that was inserted into the recent event photo is a black and white photo of Hoffa from just above the waist up, taken in 1957. Having said that, there’s no guarantee that he’s still in black and white or that the entire original photo is included in the photo you are seeking.

Good luck!
