With the Fourth falling on a Wednesday this year, it’s right back to the daily grind the day after the holiday, which just doesn’t seem fair. Why not take off for a five-day weekend?
This might not be as far-fetched as you think. Smirnoff strongly believes that celebrating Independence Day in the middle of the work week is, as they put it, “Simply un-American” and they aren’t standing for it. That is why Smirnoff Ice has launched a national sweepstakes to pay for 100 people to take two days off of work (July 5 and 6).
You read that right. By commenting on contest posts on the @SmirnoffUS Facebook and Instagram pages and sounding off on social media channels about where you’d rather be during the back half of the holiday week, you could be entered for the chance to win the five-day Fourth of July weekend you deserve. Full sweepstakes rules.
