Prize #1: Kushies

The year 2003 was notable for �Kooshies�. In 1988, the name was spelled “KOOSHIES”. This name had been successfully registered with a worldwide trademark. However, there was opposition from a company registered in the United States and over a ten-year period, without any real progress, the parties finally reached a settlement early 2003. Sam realized the solution would be to change the spelling. That year the corporate logo, labels and packaging were changed to “KUSHIES“.

Kushies Baby USA is now located in Niagara Falls, New York and the Stoney Creek Ontario location houses state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and over 200 staff. A meticulous inspection standard for the ever-expanding product lines, which currently stands at over 350 baby products, ensures the continuation of the company’s high quality standards and continuing popularity.

The winner of this prize pack will receive a Kushies My Bag which includes:

Cool compartments for your stuff, 1 insulated snack box, 1 insulated medicine box, 1 clean clothes bag, 1 dirty clothes bag, 1 soiled clothes bag with laundry bag insert, 1 spare shoes bag, a pillow, a blanket and a handy hook for hanging.
