Contests, Contests, Contests!

All of us at Ferry Orthodontics know that Fall is a very busy time of year for everyone - getting into the swing of school, crazy sports schedules, and making time to go see your favorite orthodontist. Well, we've got a lot going on too!

First, our Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt ended on Labor Day and we've received many great photos- the last day to submit entries is Friday, October 7th. We will be announcing the winner of the iPad and gift cards on Wednesday, October 12th. Make sure "Like" Ferry Orthodontics on Facebook to see the results.

Secondly, Ferry Orthodontics entered a contest with Sesame Communications. We wrote an essay on how technology has helped our practice. Many of you have commented about how great the e-mail reminders are and being able to pay online so we incorporated your thoughts in our submission. We would appreciate it if you took a moment to vote for our essay. To find our essay, go to www.facebook.com/sesamecommunications and click "Member Contest" on the left side of the page. The deadline for voting is Friday, September 30th at 12pm PDT.

Lastly, because of the great entries last year, we are having our Pumpkin Decorating Contest again this year! Any patient interested in decorating can come in and get a pumpkin (or decorate one you already have at home) and bring it back to the office. All pumpkins must be turned in by Friday, October 28th.

If you have any questions, feel free to call the office. We hope everyone has a happy and healthy Fall!

Dr. Mike announces the winners of our Pumpkin Contest!

Have you seen all of the creative pumpkins that were entered in the Ferry Orthodontics Pumpkin Contest? Dr. Mike Ferry and our team were very impressed with all of the pumpkin entries! Today, we would like to share that the winners of the iPods are Carina G. and Allie R. We also must provide Honorable Mentions to Kim K., Olivia M., Kellie M., and Alyssa S., who each win a four pack of movie tickets!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Pumpkin Contest. All the pumpkins were amazingly well painted and decorated. If you haven't had a chance yet, be sure to check out our Facebook page to view all of the contest photos!

Dr. Mike Ferry asks: Have you decorated your pumpkin yet?

Can you believe that it's already fall? The leaves are turning brown, the weather is changing, and it's the perfect time to decorate a pumpkin! Dr. Mike Ferry and our team are excited to announce the Ferry Orthodontics Pumpkin Decorating Contest. The contest winner will receive an iPod, so don't hesitate to show us your pumpkin decorating skills!

You may be wondering, what does it mean to decorate a pumpkin? It's simple! We welcome you to paint, decorate, glue, and even color your pumpkin. Our only contest rule is that carved pumpkins will be disqualified. The winner will be chosen based on overall uniqueness and creativity.

All contest entries must be submitted by Friday, Oct. 22nd. We look forward to seeing your festive pumpkins!
