Shoppers flocked to St John’s Shopping Centre in Perth at the weekend to take part in the centre’s latest competition to win a family holiday to Disneyland Paris, by guessing how long a massive block of ice containing Mickey Mouse figures would take to melt. The competition, which was run in conjunction with The Courier and Thomson Holidays, has generated hundreds of entries and delivered a significant rise in footfall over the two days that the ice sculpture was in the centre. Saturday figures were up 10% and Sunday footfall was up 14% on last year’s figures. Over 100 people also tuned in the centre’s website to watch the proceedings which were broadcast live on the internet. The ice block finally dissolved on Monday taking a whopping 55 hours, 46 minutes and 52 seconds to melt. Tricia Fox, marketing agent for St John’s Shopping Centre said, “We are delighted at the response the competition has had. The hard work now starts to sift through all the entries and find out if anyone had the right answer. I’m as anxious as anyone to find out who the lucky winner will be!” For further information on St John’s Shopping Centre please visit www.stjshopping.co.uk
