Knott’s Goes Pink For the Cure With Susan G. Komen 

By Erin

Disclosure: I will be attending a media event at Knott’s Berry Farm courtesy of Gigasavvy to hear about the Susan G. Komen & Knott’s partnership. The Knott’s Ticket giveaway is also kindly provided by Giga Savvy! All thoughts and opinions remain my own.

Knott's Goes PinkIt’s no secret that I love the amusement parks that Southern California has to offer. When I heard that one of my favorite places was teaming up with a good cause like Susan G Komen to help fight breast cancer, I knew I had to help spread the word and share about the wonderful work they were going to do together.

For the months of February and March, Knott’s Berry Farm and Susan G. Komen of Orange County are working together to raise money for breast cancer awareness, services and research by offering a very special “Pink Ticket” and limited edition specially designed “pink” merchandise. Knott’s will offer a specially discounted “Pink Ticket” February 1st-March 31st in support of the organization.

In Orange County, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks to Komen’s funding of research, new treatments and awareness of the importance of annual mammograms to detect breast cancer in its earliest and most curable stages, the survival rate for breast cancer has risen dramatically over the 33 years of the organization. The Orange County Komen Affiliate provides mammograms for uninsured women and works with other organizations to bring information to people throughout the county.

The promotion will provide guests with the opportunity to enjoy Knott’s world class entertainment, attractions and specially-themed “pink” décor, while supporting an important cause that touches many women. Starting February 1, through March 31, guests can purchase “Pink Tickets” for theme park admission only online at www.knotts.comA portion of the “Pink Tickets” proceeds will benefit Susan G. Komen Orange County.

Del Taco Introduces Turkey Tacos

Let’s face it. We don’t always have the time to cook and slave away in the kitchen to make a wholesome, healthy meal. Some fast food places are finally catching onto this and are offering up some healthier options to help us out. This is where Del Taco comes in.  It has become one of my go to places for a quick  yet delicious meal.

Del Taco introduced Turkey Tacos earlier this month, making the company the first Mexican fast food chain to offer ground turkey as a protein option. Del Taco’s Turkey Tacos feature lean, seasoned ground turkey that has 33 percent less fat than its seasoned beef option  and offers the same craveable flavor. I personally liked the Turkey Tacos more than I like their beef tacos.  Each Turkey Taco has only 150 calories.  Del Taco is also offering up a Turkey CrunchTada Tostada, an extension of their popular CrunchTada product line.

At the low price of $1.29, the new Turkey Tacos are served in a crunchy corn or warm flour tortilla with freshly grated cheddar cheese, crisp lettuce and pico de gallo, made fresh daily at each Del Taco location.
