Every now and again I enjoy sponsoring a small contest on Twitter and other social media networks. The whole idea is to foster a bit of community involvement and to see who the most active users are. I felt like the annual Sweet Pea Festival in Bozeman, Montana would be a great cause to rally around. Last week I posted a quick Tweet calling for Sweet Pea Festival photo entries.
@manifestphil tweeted: #Bozeman Sweet Pea contest! $10 to whomever posts the strangest/coolest photo from the festival and tags it #sweetpea. Ends Sun. Plz RT!
Thanks to the various folks around the Bozeman community helped spread the word about this informal contest -including WindedBowhunter, HeebsGrocery, ZebraBozeman and various other individuals – there were a handful of entries submitted over the weekend. A few of my favorites are below.
@TEDxBozeman Tweeted: Hanging out watching the community supported #SweetPea festival parade.

And the Sweet Pea Festival photo winner is…
My favorite funky photo was from @LewTheLegend. He tweeted:
Two beautiful ladies Jazzercising in the #SweetPea parade @LadyLegend & @kimburr17 http://twitpic.com/61yhsi They were followed by a slutty ballarina. Why is it I hate #parades again?
But wait, there’s more Sweet Pea Festival action to be had…
There were a few other folks writing and tweeting throughout the weekend.
@MontanaSkies posted quite a few videos of their performance. There’s a quick preview below and the full playlist is here:
The Bozeman Maker’s Club was out in full force and a few robots even invaded downtown Bozeman. @BillsVision has that video.
