Swing-N-Slide Announces New Mascot and Naming Contest
Playset Manufacturer Encourages Safe Play with
Introduction of New Dog Mascot
Chattanooga, TN — October 3, 2013 —Swing-N-Slide, a PlayCore
company, and America’s first do-it-yourself wooden playset manufacturer, promotes
safe backyard play. In order to spread the word about the
importance of safety in outdoor play, Swing-N-Slide has introduced a new
ambassador. The new dog mascot will
represent the company when informing children about the steps to take for safer
play.
To assist in safety education,
Swing-N-Slide has created the pet to help parents effectively teach children
the rules of backyard play when using a playset. The naming contest encourages family
participation and communication by asking families for name ideas. As an added incentive, Swing-N-Slide will
reward the winning name submission with a free playset accessory.
Swing-N-Slide’s new pet will promote
different safety education programs throughout the year, including the recently
launched “Play It Safe” Coloring Book.
The activity book provides coloring sheets while teaching children the
steps for safer play. The book also
encourages children to play safer with a Safety Pledge. The pledge should be signed by children and
can be submitted back to Swing-N-Slide.
Submissions will be posted on www.swing-n-slide.com.
The “Name The Dog” contest will be live and
taking entries until October 13, 2013.
Swing-N-Slide will announce the winner via Facebook and email on Monday,
October 14, 2013. To enter the contest,
