Diehard American Idol fans take note.

You have until April 29 to enter to win a 3 day/2 night trip for four to the American Idol finales in Los Angeles in May. Trip includes coach air fare, hotel and $3,500 in spending money – an estimated retail value of $12,000. No purchase is required. Other prizes include a Nintendo® Wii™ and an American Idol video game.

With only one trip offered, you’ll want to enter by voting early and often (but only once per day per household ) for one of five new ice cream flavors at www.slowchurned.com.

American Idol Season Six Finalists Chris Richardson and Melinda Doolittle host the musical web site, encouraging votes for a sultry, tiara-wearing half-gallon of “Cheesecake Diva,” or for a container of “Most Orange-inal” with headphones throbbing to an original rap number. You get the picture.

If you like Edy’s more than American Idol, concentrate on winning one of the 1,500 ice cream block parties through a brief essay contest at the same web site. Nothing like sharing ice cream to make you a neighborhood hero…
