Shake-a-Thon 2012

Demi HEWAMANNA

What a Sunday it was on June 10 with so many young and senior, joining together with their friends and family for the first ever Shake-a-Thon 2012 organized by Choco Luv.

It was one crazy event to watch as, the participants who won tickets after taking part in a promo that was held through E Fm were all geared up to drink the most number of milkshakes. The participants were divided into three categories – Boys, Girls and children – and I must say there were some eager people who really wanted to win badly as the prizes included hot air balloon rides courtesy Sunrise in Lanka Ballooning (Pvt) Ltd, dinner vouchers from Galadari and plenty of Ferrerro Roche hampers.

The participants had to run from one end to the other and drink two milkshakes, run back and eat a Ferrerro Roche chocolate and run back to drink more milkshakes all in the span of 10 minutes. For the children the time given was five minutes and talking to the little ones after their run they said, “I’m never having another milkshake in my life”, and some of them couldn’t stand the sight of a milkshake after their run:).

These are some of the highlights of the afternoon.
